Summary
A father and a teenage boy headed out for a short ski near a backcountry hut and vanished into a Colorado snowstorm. What followed became one of the most gripping survival stories I've read in years. In this conversation, Devon O'Neil shares the true story behind The Way Out and the years of reporting that went into uncovering what happened. We talk about adventure, risk, fatherhood, preparation, community, and the difficult reality that a meaningful life can never be made completely safe. This episode will make you think differently about the outdoors, the people you love, and what it means to truly be alive.
