Planning a family ski trip to Park City, Utah? We've got the insider tips you need!
On this episode of the Ski Moms Podcast, Nicole welcomes Emily Wojtczak of Invited Home, a Park City local, ski mom, and vacation rental hospitality expert who knows the mountains, neighborhoods, and hidden gems that make this Utah destination so special.
From navigating Park City Mountain's massive terrain to choosing between Old Town, Canyons Village, and Kimball Junction, Emily shares practical advice for making the most of your time on and off the slopes.
We talk about why five to seven days is the sweet spot for a Park City vacation, where beginners should learn to ski, and why taking a day off the mountain might be the smartest decision you make all week.
Plus, we dive into the world of luxury vacation rentals and explore how Invited Home helps families spend less time managing logistics and more time making memories.

What happens when some of the world’s best skiers and snowboarders stop chasing the perfect line and take a day off? Nicole sits down with filmmaker, comedian, and longtime ski industry personality Katie Burrell, host and narrator of Warren Miller’s Days Off, to talk about play, storytelling, and the very real work behind making a ski film feel effortless. They explore Katie’s unconventional path into the outdoor industry, a whirlwind production across three continents, and the lesson that will resonate with every ski parent: after you pack the gear, plan the trip, and get everyone to the mountain, do not forget to join the fun.

What helps a young athlete grow through hard feedback without losing confidence? Former racer and coach Katie Twible joins The Ski Moms Podcast to talk about earned trust, athlete self-advocacy, and the line between productive discomfort and harmful coaching. She also shares how a career-ending injury redirected her from racing to coaching and, most recently, to telling the stories behind the sport at Ski Racing Media. This conversation is full of useful perspectives for ski parents, coaches, and anyone learning when to push, when to ask, and when to listen.
Katie Twible is a former ski racer and coach who now works at Ski Racing Media. Her career has included racing for the University of Colorado, coaching U16 athletes, and coaching with the US women's team. She brings an athlete-centered perspective to stories about resilience, leadership, coaching, and the people behind ski racing.

Three-time Olympic silver medalist Jaelin Kauf grew up chasing her older brother around Grand Targhee, building makeshift moguls with pine boughs, and learning to love skiing long before it became her career.
In this episode, Jaelin joins Nicole and Sarah to talk about the playful start that shaped one of America's fastest mogul skiers, what really goes into a moguls score, and the advice from her mom that still brings her back to her own reasons for competing.
They also dig into Jaelin's Deliver the Love foundation and its mission to help girls and women build confidence through movement and sport. Jaelin shares free resources for athletes, parents, and coaches, including a powerful reminder about the words we choose on the ride home after competition. It is an honest, useful conversation about ambition, self-worth, and keeping the joy alive at every level.

The countdown to ski season is officially on! In this episode, Nicole and Sarah sit down with Kate Hawley, Event Director for Snowbound Expo, to talk about one of the Northeast’s biggest celebrations of skiing, snowboarding and winter culture.
Snowbound Expo takes place November 14–15, 2026 at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Kids under 12 are free. Use code SKIMOMS at checkout for discounted tickets.
Visit SnowboundExpo.com for schedules, exhibitors and event information, and check the Ski Moms website for our ticket discount code.
Kate shares what’s new for 2026, including appearances from Jessie Diggins, Travis Rice, Kimmy Fasani and Tom Walsh, plus the Rail Jam, Learn to Ski mini hill, trampoline show, and a new Alpine Fashion Runway.
We also talk about why Snowbound can be especially helpful for families preparing for their first ski season. Kids can see and touch the gear, learn how to read a trail map, meet representatives from local mountains and experience the energy of the ski community before ever stepping onto snow.
And Nicole and Sarah share their veteran Snowbound tips — from wearing comfortable shoes and arriving early to scouting local mountains ahead of time and leaving room to discover some of the smaller brands, artists and entrepreneurs you won't necessarily find at your local ski shop.
