Tardigrade
Scott Tardif
Tardif, AKA Tardigrade (look that sh*t up) is definitely the snowboarding trash panda of the group, he's always got the backpack crammed with beer and pockets full of flasks. His favorite activities on the slopes include being with friends, making “first” chair, shouting at kids from the chairlift, and being the first one down the mountain.
Tardigrade’s favorite resort mountains are... all of them. Especially Alta, Deer Valley, and Mad River Glen. Learning on the ice coast, all conditions at the mountains are fair game. He just needs to be able to get passed those pesky signs marking the entry to the trail…
Fun fact - Tardif has never won or will ever win an Olympic medal or competition, but he has failed miserably "parkouring" and crashing into the Olympic rings when trying to photobomb an older vacationing couple in Whistler.
At the end of the day, Tardif is a regular 29-year old dude, nothing special. You might have to wait while he straps into his bindings. You might have to wait if you blaze through some icy moguls. You might have to wait because he can be a slow poke. But hey, on most days he'll be willing to share one of those sweet, delicious PBRs he's carrying in his backpack. Pinkies out *Snowboard* Fam!
Hot Brown Honey
Scott Alpizar
Scott is the skier of many nicknames for some reason - Hot Brown Honey, Static Scott, Scotty Sauce, Ejector Boy, Scotty Nipz, and some others... Despite all of these personas, from time to time he loses his identity entirely.
Ejector Boy has a need for speed. He also has a knack for being the snowboarder stuck backwards in a tree or skiing face first into snow walls. Do not hurt yourself trying to copy him, he can't save you. What a useless doctor.
As one of the primary chef de cuisines of the group, Hot Brown Honey loves food more than almost anyone. He’s eaten 50 chicken wings in one sitting before. He’s also consumed 30 slices of pizza at once. And he currently holds the record in the Dartmouth MCB Triple Double challenge with 12 corn dogs, 12 PBRs, and 120 tater tots. Legend has it that he skied all day after this feat.
So with that said, Static Scotty Sauce welcomes you to the Ski Fam and hopes one day to cook you a delicious snowboarding breakfast. And lunch. And dinner.
P.S. Our overly paid team of very experienced podcast lawyers have advised us against telling the origin story of Hot Brown Honey.
Who?
Big Air archer
Emily Hagan
Emily Archer Hagan is more formally known as Big Air Archer. She really really really (really) knows how to embellish a story. She knows how to get injured. But most importantly, she kind of knows how to ski. Her nickname arises from the solid three inches of air she gets off a small kicker accompanied by a "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" and throwing her hands in the air.
BAA grew up skiing the little hills in southern New Hampshire, but has since upgraded to advanced tree trails and double blacks at larger mountains. Despite many trips out west and living in the northeast, she has yet to actually experience a real powder day. What the f*ck snow gods?! They deserve to be flipped a mitteny middle finger.
Emily is very much an outgoing person. She’ll chat to anyone on the chairlift, even weirdos who offer her beer. If you’re lucky enough to sit next to her, she might even embellish you with a story that takes an afternoon’s worth of runs.
Big Air Archer is the best audience. Seriously, she'll laugh at almost anything. She even finds the other two co-hosts funny, which is something quite rare! So for all of you Ski Fam listeners out there, she's waiting for you to tell her your cheesiest jokes.
(And yes, this is her favorite lodge, with marble restrooms and Harry Potter style chandeliers)

How the magic happens.
On the Mountain
Let’s start with our greatest hits…
Tardigrade Takedown!
Tardif throws the gloves down and goes head to head with a trail sign... and loses. Wouldn't have happened if he was a snowboarder...
Rematch coming soon!
Hot Brown Honey Trapped in a Tree!
Scott gets himself nice and stuck (like, really stuck) in a tree. If you look closely you can see his soul leave his body as he accepts that he may actually die there…
Big Air Archer gets BIG AIR
See, we do Ski!
Other Shenanigans
Because we have lives too…
