(Part 2 of 2 with WIT Advisors.)
In Episode 6 of the BORN TO BE A SNOWFIGHTER podcast, Bob and Nick sit down with Phil Sexton, founder of WIT Advisers and the SWiM® (Sustainable Winter Management). In this fascinating conversation, Phil discusses the environmental problem that the usage of road salt poses to our water sources, the history of salt usage in the United States (spoiler: it might have started with the "Miracle On Ice" in Lake Placid at the 1980 Olympics), and what snow clearing professionals can do to become part of the solution.
Phil's background in landscape and snow and ice management is extensive, and his unique knowledge of industry environmental impact (including graduate research at Harvard), is unmatched. The conversation concludes with an discussion on how WIT Advisers, much like Metal Pless, is helping clear the way for a safer environment.
Come see Metal Pless at upcoming trade shows in North America, including the Landscape Ontario 2026 and remember - Metal Pless™ is always copied, never duplicated!
