To start off the 2026/27 season with a bang we invited avalanche expert Craig Gordon to give us some hopeful predictions regarding this upcoming super El Niño. Then Spencer Schubert and Desiree Melancon joined us in studio for a highly competitive round of trivia, watched some heater clips, gave us their thoughts on AI and so much more. We finished things up with Dixon giving us an update on Snow League and the X Games League draft. All this and more on this season’s first episode of Group Chat!
