The Ski Show, a former radio show all about skiing and its complexities is gearing up for action once again thanks to Powder Magazine's Mike Rogge.

Read on for what Rogge is envisioning for the new show and head to Powder.com for a candid interview with Tanner Hall on the first episode.

Words: Mike Rogge

Tuesday nights in Burlington, Vermont, were kind of a big deal. For those not in the know, I hosted a radio program for eight months called The Ski Show. And it was one of the most fun jobs in the world. I never made a dime off it. Together with co-host Ross Imburgia, we chatted to professional athletes, producers, photographers, team managers, marketing directors, musicians, kids on Newschoolers, and every once in a while an inebriated vagrant stumbling along Main Street. They all had one thing in common. Skiing. Even the drunkard loved taking his tricks to the backcountry after a Switchback at Mr. Mike's Pizza.

When I got the call to the Big Leagues to work for Powder, the show went on what I thought would be a short hiatus. I needed time to adjust and then assumed I'd pick up right where the show left off. But plans never work out the way they're supposed to in the ski world. What happened was me seizing this new position at Powder and putting everything I had into the magazine and this website. The bulk of those efforts can be seen August 16 when the Buyer's Guide lands on newsstands. That plug is shameless, by the way.

And while I've learned a great deal in this last year and there is certainly much more knowledge to gain, the time is right to bring the show back. Former listeners, if I know you then I'm sure you have a few questions so I'll answer them.

Will it be live?
One day, maybe. Live shows are difficult and time consuming.

How do I enjoy this new platform?
Do what you always did. Press play and listen. Homework and real work be damned.

Are they still dropping on Tuesdays weekly?
Time will tell but yes, that's the idea. With some momentum, you'll be able to download the show to your iPod, iPhone, iThing, and enjoy it on your morning commute to a [insert where you go in the morning here].

Will it be uncensored?
You know it.

Get your arse to Powder.com for an exclusive interview with the mighty Tanner Hall on first edition of the new Ski Show.
