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 :-)

Thanks Mike. I've published another two episodes that I've really enjoyed putting together in the last couple of weeks:

210: Baqueira Beret in Spain & the growth of skiing in China
https://audioboom.com/posts/8496412-210-baqueira-beret-in-spain-the-growth-of-skiing-in-china

TBH I was less interested in Baquiera, as the situation in China is so interesting. Finding Justin Downes as a guest was a bit of luck as he's an expert in that market - which saw 45% growth last winter! It is on such a different trajectory from the rest of the world

211: Paddy Graham, Professional Skier & Filmmaker
https://audioboom.com/posts/8503307-211-paddy-graham-professional-skier-filmmaker

Don't worry if you've never heard of him, Paddy was so interesting and such a nice guy. Among other things you can find out how he and the Legs of Steel crew filmed these:

Really enjoyed that Paddy catch up, and how the chat with Iain flowed.
Great to shine a light on someone less celebrated outside of the sport, but all those years with Red Bull tell you all you need to know.
Talented, motivated - maybe our version of Mike Douglas, making him the Godfather of UK freeskiing...

Episode 213 now live, featuring an interview with Stu Brass. Not so well known, but hugely influential in British snowsports. Founder of The Brits and worked as an advisor on 'Chalet Girl' and 'The Jump'. Very nice guy and an interesting chap to talk to

Episode 214 now live - 214: La Grave & the future of snowsports in the USA
Includes an interesting chat about the opposition to the 2030 Winter Olympics in France, which I wasn't aware of. Plus opposition to the new lift in La Grave.

@iainm, in 224 you mentioned a survey where there would be a link in the notes? In the notes I see I couldn’t see any link.

In any case you might profit from posting it directly here, hopefully its well crafted and will make a change from all the student surveys on the latest and greatest ski product project they are working on.

@iainm, just a quick note to say that there's been some great content on the podcast recently. The interview with Chemmy Alcott was really interesting, I didn't know her backstory, wow what a woman (or maybe I should say person - whatever term is politically correct).

Also, the articles on equipment and clothing gave really useful explanations for a casual skier like myself.

thanks very much.

@ster - I just had a look and there does seem to be a link in the show notes, but it might depend what platform you are on.

@iainm, you can tell Jamie Grant I bought Carv 2.0 based on your interview with him, that will get him some ROI on the interview. I hope I don’t win it in yr draw now.
