In this week’s episode of Group Chat we’ve combined our collective remaining brain cells to provide you with a thorough guide to surviving premiere season. On top of that, we rounded up the Videograss crew to discuss their latest offering: “Lifeform” and we invited Mia Lambson to discuss the digital release of “Wayward.” Arguably of most importance: we built a penalty box. Check it out on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole: Group Chat

In snowboarding we often see a “tradition” route for becoming a pro: the contest to video part pipeline. Riley Johnson aka Mids4TheKids is not taking that approach. He’s been posting some of the most impressive snowboarding clips on Instagram and riding at Hyland Hills. That’s about it; and his riding speaks for itself. Learn all about Mids4TheKids and how he’s able to do the tricks he does on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

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!
