5: Stories about Slopes, Wipeouts, and Construction Vests

In this wintery episode of Story Traders, Caleb and Josiah hit the slopes—at least in their memories—as they swap some of their funniest and most embarrassing skiing and snowboarding stories. From lift fails to legendary wipeouts, this one’s packed with laughs and a few bruises.

Josiah kicks things off with a classic ski lift blunder—one of those moments where you just have to laugh (after the embarrassment fades, of course). From there, the brothers reminisce about their ski trips and their unconventional but genius strategy for sticking together on the mountain: wearing bright construction vests. Because nothing says “pro skier” like high-visibility gear!

Caleb then shares a story that’s equal parts hilarious and unfortunate—how their mom took a spectacular, unintentional tumble at the bottom of the hill, making for a moment the family would never forget.

Finally, Caleb wraps things up with an all-too-relatable tale of taking a fall on the slopes and just… never stopping. Sometimes gravity wins, and sometimes it turns your wipeout into an Olympic-level endurance slide.

Full of nostalgia, ridiculous moments, and the universal truth that skiing and snowboarding always come with their fair share of fails, this episode of Story Traders is a fun ride from start to finish!
