Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Awesome work Iain and co. Just listened to my first episode. How about an episode featuring Snow-Camp and making snowsports accessible to hard to reach young people? We've just gone live with our #Switch180 campaign so could be great timing. I'll drop you an email my friend.

Quick update on the podcasts - we now have a new website (and logo) where you can catch up with all the old pods - www.theskipodcast.com

Or try soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/knowledge-is-powder-ski-podcast
Or itunes - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ski-podcast-because-knowledge-is-powder/id1293102565?mt=2

Since we started last autumn, we've changed the format slightly, so each podcast is now less about that moment in time, with more interviews and fewer guests. Worth listening to at any point. Recent episodes have included:

E17: Interview with La Rosiere Tourist Office about the new lifts and runs
E16: Interview with Huski about their in-resort delivery service
E15: Iain reviews heliskiing in Alagna

Let us know what you think!

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:
Was listening to it this am - was somewhat surprised for such keen skiers to consider a QST99 a previously unencountered wide ski? Pretty middle of the road these days for the all mountain skier no?

Postscript listened to the rest. The interview with the ski show girl is a bit screwed up - sounds like massive Skype lag. Either it was recorded badly or something screwed up in the podcast compression. You might want to pull the podcast and resync the audio as it sounds pretty unprofessional.

@Dave of the Marmottes, indeed, how can mainline Salomon model be unencountered?

I like this series.

Yes very strange section that ski "festival" rolling eyes bit. Apart from the bits where both were talking at the same time (rather annoying) the organizer didnt seem to know about all aspects and I didn't think was too great at selling it but a few useful details as I find their website even less informative.

I have to agree with you, I don't know what happened with the Ski Show/Festival interview and I found it frustrating to listen to as well - I promise you I wasn't talking over her! Happy

Think you should find Episode 19 is all in sync! Iain and Jim talk summer holidays in the Alps, discuss how Brexit will affect the cost of your ski holiday, celebrate GB success at the Junior World Champs and re-open our ‘Ski Book Group’ with a look at ‘Ski The World’ by Arnie Wilson.

Hi Dave, was recorded on https://zencastr.com rather than Skype, but Jim tells me it's now been edited and resynched, so should be resolved Very Happy

That explains a few things. I had clicked last night on the link a few posts previous to this for Episode 22, and I was wondering why the podcast didnt tie into the notes at all. Looks like podcast notes on the site were for still for 22 but Episode 23 must have already been uploaded as the latest episode.
