Episode 13: The Mark White Mindset

Send a text

The Salt Lake Snowcast is back this week with an interview from local skier Mark White AKA @spindrift65 on Instagram. Mark has been ski touring in the Wasatch for the past 40 years and has a perspective and approach to backcountry skiing that we haven’t really talked about this season. While he’s well known for his aesthetically pleasing powder turns and skin tracks, Mark is also prolific in making observations and paying attention to the mountains. 

When I started the SLSC this year, Mark was on my shortlist of folks to talk to and I’m stoked he was able to come on the show. One of my goals with the pod is to try and share knowledge by offering the community a new way to gain insight into backcountry skiing in the Wasatch. Mark’s interview this week is a great example of this and I think we can all learn something from his approach to the mountains.

Lastly, a final reminder to subscribe to the podcast and never hesitate to send us a DM!
