Mountain Voices is a podcast from the UIAA.
Throughout each series, the UIAA explores different climbing and mountaineering topics. The series provide a platform for both experts from the UIAA and renowned figures from the mountain world to share their views and opinions. Each series is made of up of six episodes. Season 1 launched in February 2024 with Season 2 to follow later in the year.

Episode 2 of Mountain Voices focuses on the subject of avalanches and is inspired by the UIAA Safety Commission’s related to electromagnetic interference in avalanche transceivers.
Experienced American IFMGA Mountain Guides Marc Beverly (a member of the UIAA Safety Commission) and Zeb Blais provide an insight into the findings of the recent UIAA research particularly the do’s and dont’s when a transceiver is in both search and send mode. The podcast also discuss what causes an avalanche, the impact of climate change on avalanches and how our everyday electronic devices from phones to head cameras to GPS watches may interfere with transceivers.

Known as the ‘Godfather Of Freeskiing’, Mike Douglas is consistently listed by media outlets as one of the most influential skiers of all time. He began his career as a mogul skier on the Canadian Freestyle Ski Team in the early 1990s.
In 1997, he developed the first high-performance twin-tip ski, the Salomon Teneighty, and his freeskiing career was launched. Dubbed the New Canadian Air Force, Mike and his crew of Canadians revolutionized the sport with their tricks at ski resorts across the globe. He even has a signature tick – the D Spin. Mike has appeared in more than 50 ski films, was named Powder Magazine’s ‘Male Skier Of The Year’ in 2003, and was the voice of skiing at the X Games for 14 years.
In 2004, Mike founded Switchback Entertainment – a video production company specializing in outdoor adventure films and commercials. He launched the groundbreaking web series, Salomon TV, in 2007 and has produced/directed more than a dozen award-winning films including The Freedom Chair, Tempting Fear, Eclipse, Snowman, Guilt Trip and Fountain Of Youth.
From 1997-2017 his role as a marketing consultant and ambassador for Whistler Blackcomb helped propel the organization to the top of the ski resort rankings. He has been named ‘Favourite Whistlerite’ 7 times by the readers of Whistler’s local newspaper, Pique Newsmagazine.
Today, Mike is a married father of two, and splits his time between raising his family, skiing professionally, producing/directing films and commercials at Switchback Entertainment, and environmental advocacy work. He is the former Board Chair for Protect Our Winters Canada – an environmental group focused on fighting climate change. He is also on the Board of Directors for the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation.

In this episode, Dr. Sara Boilen sits down with Caleb to discuss the broad topic of human factors.
We explore the concept that acknowledgment and awareness of our human factors (the perception of our situation and environment, cognitive biases, and heuristic traps) may not be enough. While the concept is embraced within our community, perhaps we lack the tools and framework to deal with them as they will ultimately arise in all backcountry adventures.
Sara provides some tools to start this work for yourself and amongst your touring partners. 

Questo episodio non appartiene un podcast che parla di montagna ma, prendendo spunto da un episodio di cronaca dell’estate 2023, affronta l’argomento sempre molto sensibile delle calzature con cui alcuni affrontano l’ambiente montano.
Jonathan Zenti non si “accoda” alla nutrita schiera di leoni da tastiera ed accenna ad alcune tematiche che sono ben note a chi ascolta La Dinamica.

Ovviamente è marginale che, nell’episodio, definisca La Dinamica come “uno dei suoi podcast preferiti” 😉
Se non sai chi è Jonathan Zenti, qui trovi tutte le informazioni per capire perchè essere citati da lui è l’equivalente di una medaglia.

Sebbene questo podcast sia “fuori produzione” da ormai 5 anni, il suo contenuto è sempre interessante e rilevante, per chi frequenta la montagna invernale con gli sci.

L’autore affronta sia gli aspetti fisici e meccanici delle valanghe che quelli legati al fattore umano e alle dinamiche di gruppo. 
L’importanza della comunicazione all’interno di un gruppo di scialpinisti che si muove su terreno di valanga è spesso sottovalutato, e in questo podcast diversi episodi sono dedicati appunto a questo aspetto critico.
