We’re bringing back an episode that we believe deserves a second listen.

🎧 Tune in and be inspired by how education can adapt to meet the needs of our ski families.

👉 Listen now, and don’t forget to share with another ski mom who may have missed it the first time around.

As part of our Ski Moms Summer Listen Again Series, we’re revisiting our thoughtful conversation with Tess Miner-Farra, Head of School at the Winter Sports School in Park City, Utah—a unique academic program designed specifically for student-athletes chasing snow and success.

Tess shares how the school flips the traditional calendar to support winter sports schedules, making it possible for student skiers and snowboarders to pursue competitive goals without sacrificing their education. We talk about what makes the Winter Sports School different, how families can support student-athletes, and why this model is gaining national attention.

Whether you're raising a young racer, a freestyle skier, or just dreaming of a more flexible school year, this episode is packed with insights from someone who truly understands the balance of academics and athletics. Find out more here www.wintersportsschool.org
