About The Show

High Falutin Ski Bums is a weekly podcast embracing the snow industry, luxury living, and common dreams of living a ski bum life. Shows focus on skiing, snowboarding, the snow industry, marijuana legalization, interviews, and strange, interesting stories – the kind of stories you share with your friends and family when you’re on a ski or snowboard trip. That’s why we like to say it’s “Your Weekly Audio Ski Trip.” This informative and entertaining show is hosted by creators Brian and Mario.

The inception of the show began after countless drives from New Jersey to Vermont for ski weekends when Brian and Mario would chat about a wide range topics. Months later, these two bums just decided to start recording and the podcast was born. It is about their love of skiing and ski culture that they share with listeners with their own flavor, opinions and experiences added for a great show.

Meet The Hosts

Brian (Host/Creator) – Growing up in New Jersey to frugal immigrant parents with minimal athletic ability, Brian didn’t have a ton of exposure to skiing. Sure, there was the occasional school trips to Shawnee Mountain or Mountain Creek, but it wasn’t until Brian was an actual grown-up and began dating a phenomenal skier that he got to go on a proper ski trip and experience real ski culture.

Nothing has been the same since that trip to Lake Tahoe. Since then Brian has been completely obsessed with skiing and trying to live that ski bum dream, having skied all over the world, from local hills in Pennsylvania and Vermont to Jackson Hole to Telluride to Zermatt to Ischgl, Austria.

Mario (Host/Creator)Growing up on Long Island didn’t Mario’s lifestyle didn’t allow for much snow skiing, but after meeting up with new friends at college in Buffalo (NY), he took to skiing at age 18. Nicknamed affectionately as ‘Cannonball’ by his friends, Mario was great at skiing into everything on the mountain. With much determination and pain, he eventually learned how to turn, stop, and ski with some degree of skill. After humble beginnings of night skiing and small mountains around Buffalo (NY), Boone (NC), and Vernon (NJ), he’s since moved on to ski all over the US, Canada, and Europe. Originally living in NJ near Brian when the podcast started, Mario is now living in sunny FL traveling to exotic ski destinations wherever the snow calls him.
