The list of "first woman to"s following Hilaree Nelson's name are too many to fit in a podcast description. Just this month she became the first person to ski down Mount Lhotse, a sister peak to Everest and the 4th highest mountain in the world. After summiting Everest a few years ago, she decided to keep going and climb another sister peak without resting. The woman is a machine. She's also a mother, and a person who thinks deeply about what it means to be human and part of this world.

Presented by The North Face as part of its She Moves Mountains series, in this episode we profile rock climber Emily Harrington. Harrington spent the first decade or so of her career trying not to be afraid because she thought only girls were fearful of big climbs. Now one of the best climbers in the world, she says she's learned to see fear and doubt as driving forces and accept emotions as sources of strength too. They helped propel her on a freeclimb of El Capitan in Yosemite recently and have kept her alive during many a mountain adventure.

In Nevada County, Ca in the Sierra, the races for sheriff and district attorney are hotly contested this year, and full of drama.

Last month, reporter Mary Catherine O'Connor joined us for an episode on the intersection between ski resorts and the mining industry in the West. One of the interviews she did for that story, with Brian McInerney, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service, didn't make it into the final story, but it's one I wanted listeners to hear. In this bonus episode, Brian traces the politicization of climate change, how surprised scientists were to see people accusing them of bias, and what the difference is between climate and weather.

When millions of people hit the slopes each year at ski resorts throughout the West, they probably don't realize that they're often skiing on abandoned mine sites. In fact, some of the West's most popular ski resorts sit right alongside some of its largest superfund sites. In this episode we look at the fascinating intersecting history of mining and skiing in the West, and how resorts are handling their past and preparing for their futures today. Show Notes: You can find Bradley Snow's book, Living with Lead, here When contacted for comment on the case pending against United Park City Mines, the EPA said it does not comment on active litigation. For updates on that action as they're available, check the EPA news release feed. In February 2008, Susan Bodine did make an announcement saying the EPA is getting tough on polluters, but The New York Times reported that much of the rulings Bodine touted were made at the tail-end of the Obama Administration.

The California Coastal Commission was formed in the 1970s to balance development goals with public rights to the beach. In recent decades, as our guest host Jill Replogle discovered, public access to the beach has moved beyond development questions. A recent survey found that 90% of Californians love the beach and want access to it, but more than 60% also said there are various economic and class barriers to getting there.
