Erika is a professional snowboarder who makes her home at Mt. Hood Meadows.

Asit introduced me to Erika and said I needed to have her on the podcast. Against most of my instincts I followed his advice and I'm glad I did. Amazing human who has done quite a bit as an athlete and now activist. Find her on Instagram (I'm not 100% sure how to do that) and on her website https://www.erikathevikingvikander.com/

And for those of you listening in Iran, Vietnam, or Boznia, please reach out! I'm curious how you found this and why you are listening. I'm actually curious why anyone is listening....

Enjoy the show!

Dave and I take a hike, manage to find the remains of Swim, and talk about it. Maryellen hops on to give a first hand recollection of actually swimming there as a girl in the 40s. Please come to the fundraiser for the museum on May 30, 2026 to join us for breakfast, a presentation about swim, and a hike to the site to see what is still there. Details coming soon here: https://mthoodmuseum.org/event/

As always, send me some feedback if you have an episode idea, love something, hate something, or just need to practice typing! poormana@hotmail.com
