In this episode we discuss skiing in Wales, the 'Great Escape' from Verbier, the challenges of cross-country skiing, ski touring in Crans Montana and plenty more.
I was joined by guests Betony Garner in the Chamonix valley and regular 'friend of the pod' Mike Richards in Wales, as well as down the line by Alex Moore in Wengen and Dom Turner in Morzine.

@iainm, didn't you release this a little while ago? I seem recall playing it already and if it was then poor Mike Pows audio levels were too low. I think I had to turn it right up to hear him then got blasted when someone else spoke.

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes, I don't know what happened with Mike's audio and I'm sorry about that. It sounded okay when we were recording and was only when I got to editing that it was clear there was a problem. Will do better in future!

I think it's a chalet in 1850 along with a private chef and staff for a year.

Sounded like a very painful and bloody introduction to ice dancing, for his partner anyway.

Hi Iain. Just a quick thank you for the podcast. I’ve listened to quite a few other podcasts but ‘The Ski Podcast’ is by far the best for me.
Great content, interesting guests, plus it has really kept us informed through the shall we say an ‘interesting’ last twelve months. I always look forward to the next episode. One episode per week would be good for me and I expect for many others.
In catering for your average British skier you appear to have very few direct competitors. Most other ski podcasts seem to be either technical. (I.e. aimed at Instructors) or American.
I’m sure there are many of us who hope ‘The Ski Podcast’ goes from strength to strength.
Hope we all get back on the slopes soon.

@eggfried100 - thanks so much, reading that has genuinely helped my day. The ski news is relentlessly negative and to be honest with less (paid) work, all the time doing The Ski Podcast has kept me busy, given me a goal and is (just about) keeping me sane. Thanks again

I see you got the Eagle interview out of the cupboard. Maybe time to get Ms Gosling back on to see how that GB Ski jumping programme is going?
