Cheers again for the chat.
And to answer your question, I haven't won the lottery or been left a legacy. Unfortunately.
I use some of the money I make teaching on Hokkaido to holiday in Europe.
But I go to places which give me big bang for my buck

So who is the ski jumper we “stole” (brilliant first question) from Austria? I cant find mention of her on GB snowsports website, there doesn't even seem to be a ski jumping section.

Where did you find that report which said something like Les Contamines was the snowiest resort in France last year? Dont spread it around though, dont want everybody going.

Disappointing to hear that Alcott didn't address her soft snow sensitivity over the course of her career.

@ster - I think I came across it on Twitter. Maybe via 'Sportihome' ? (that's the logo on the image)
@mike Pow - I imagine she tried, but I guess it's 'horses for courses' (so to speak...Chemmy is no horse!)

I found the train thing interesting too. But as it was the only item I was interested in it was a bit frustrating to find each part of the article using the red button round in YouTube.

Listening to #49, although the sound quality isn’t great I could have sworn it was stated that Arthur Conan-Doyle moved to Davos on 1980?!
Anyway about half way thru so far. I hadnt heard of Anzere until it was mentioned no long ago to me by a couple of  so a timely review. Also anything with Dave Burrows on is worth a listen.

There's interviews with Alexander Irwin from Courchevel and Mark from Disability Snowsport UK and we discover that yet another Ski Club of Great Britain CEO has resigned. |

Another great listen. Thanks.
Not sure Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish ski industry would be very impressed with your idea for England to beam a flag on Ben Nevis though.
Her impersonator Janey Godley would say 'Am gonnae take a run and put ma toe up the crack ae yer back bottom'
