Think you've already got a sticky at the top of the page Iain (no idea why). Much though I enjoy the podcasts (can't remember the jingle sound level problem being as terrible in more recent episodes so maybe you got that sorted) does smell a bit spammy.

I've been catching up on a few of the older podcasts during the commute home this week after noticing a link on SH a week ago. Quite entertaining and a welcome ski fix until I head out to the alps in a few weeks.

Hmm - losing a bit of credibility as guys who know about skiing by slagging off neoprene boot covers. Take it neither of you have ever skied somewhere seriously cold like interior Canada or US? Extra 5-10deg of warmth in your boots can be difference between frostbite and not.

We recorded E31 last week, should go live today or tomorrow. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know Dave that we cover your comment (and apologies for Jim continually getting your name wrong as Marmotte Dave!)

@iainm, Thanks for the reminder, if I get a dull few mins I shall have a listen again, I wasn't a fan after the first couple of podcasts, you never know I might have to catch up on the intervening 28 episodes

Enjoyed the latest version and looking forward to watching the Beyond the Pistes movie later.
Have to say I wasn't overly sympathetic to the plight of the Ticket to Ride guy.

Good to hear we might be able to win you back! Let us know how you get on. If I had to pick out one of those 28 episodes, I'd go for this one as I found it really helps build a picture of life in the Alps beyond the slopes:

It's interesting I agree. Many British tour ops have had an (unfair) advantage over French employers for years. That definitely seems to be coming to an end.

Fair point, I was not convinced by the 'smart' wallet as you might have been able to tell!

Just recorded #32 - mentions for @grinning @gustavobs and @dave of the marmottes (who I worry that Jim is trying to troll...). Should be live early next week...

I’m a newbie podcast listener, so only just catching up on these now during my daily commutes... just getting used to the poor sound quality (compared to R4, you guys sound like you’re recording in my downstairs WC) so I will review when I’ve listened to a few more - but my interest was piqued when I heard the references to Snowheads and @Dave of the Marmottes, and the neoprene boot covers...

Good to hear from you Amunah - maybe work backwards as I think we have the sound quality sorted now. Some of those early episodes were nasty!

- Mogul technique from Dave Burrows
- Samoens review
- Stickers in La Clusaz

No real comments other than to note Jim's ongoing obsession with me 
I must admit I did zone out a bit this week (listening while doing something else) and didn't feel the need to rewind. Don't know exactly what that means but maybe something sharper and punchier would hold attention more. You can experiment of course.

I listen regularly and enjoy the podcast. I wouldn’t say that an hour is too long. I hope that you’re enjoying La Clusaz/LGB - it’s one of my regular haunts and a lovely place.

If Jim wants to come over to VT next week we could always have a ski off and a beer.

Good idea Michael, it's still a trek, but I think he should do it! Dave is it 13-20 you are there or 20-27?
@joy zipper @michaelbury17 @Dave of the Marmottes thanks for the feedback. That comment on the length came from one person who told me that they thought it should be shorter. Now three regular listeners say they think it's okay. Most of the podcasts I listen to are either 30 mins (The Film Programme, Friday Night Comedy, 99% Invisible, TMS) or an hour (various football/movie pods). Some go on and on (GoT pods), but they have something specific to cover. I think we'll stick to the current format, but try and make sure it always comes in less than an hour.
Thanks for listening and please do share it with your cool ski friends (as Jim likes to say!)

I thought the hour was an okay length, as long as there was enough content to warrant it, which there has been
But not sure about that segment on buying property in the last podcast. Seemed to be an ad dressed up as content so an advertorial at best.

Good spot @ster it actually was advertorial, but it was done right at the last minute, and I don't think the format was right. Hopefully it will be better/more obvious/better content next time.
