Welcome to "For the Love of Winter," A weekly podcast that explores our cultural love affair with winter sports, the mountains, and of course the people who are shaped and forever changed by their love of winter.

This week, Haley Cole (a.k.a Haley Potter) joins Kendra and share her story of dreaming about the Canadian Rockies as a kid in PEI, to moving west to teach skiing at Banff Sunshine, to starting her own small business in the resort town of Canmore, Alberta.

Haley is the owner of Haley Potter Studio in Canmore, Alberta. She’s a self taught ceramics artist and park skier. As an artist Haley incorporates her personality and humour into her work. If you’re looking for a fun après ski activity, consider getting muddy with Haley. At Haley Potter Studio you can paint her hand thrown creations, or sign up for a ceramics class.

Listen along as Haley, opens up about the work it took to bring her dream to life.
