As Season 3 comes to a close, Special Guest Hilary McCloy informs the co-hosts about a now defunct minor ski area of New England and shares some incredibly knowledgeable information about running. Some new segments are debuted including Children’s Skiing Book of the Week and Podcast Length Non-Podcast of the Week. Abundant accomplishments of the greater community are celebrated from Paris to the 5th Avenue Mile.
