4.4 out of 5 stars from 77 ratings
  • Good for all skiers

    Even though I am not an instructor rather I take lessons occasionally and also book them for my kids I find the instructors perspective very interesting. The discussions follow a natural course and covers a myriad of great skiing topics.

    But just have to check, the last podcast episode where you have Jon Ahlsen in part 1 seemed to cut off virtually in mid sentence. I assume it picks up exactly at that point in part 2.

    Keep up the good work.

  • A great listen for skiers and snow lovers

    Decided to listen after hearing Dave a couple of times on the ski podcast. At first I thought it would be aimed at instructors and quite technical but actually, although there are some coaching and technical discussions, I have found conversation is generally about life in the alps or life stories. Feels like a conversation at times that would start on the chair lift and continue until you’ve reached the bar. The interviews are insightful and interesting and the interview technique allows the gu... more

  • Excellent podcast - some stand out interviews

    Came across this as a former ski pro and colleague of a few of the people in interview. It rekindled my passion for coaching and brought me up to speed with current thinking and the sport’s evolution.

    It’s relaxed, informative and goes into real depth. Anybody who is looking for strong opinion and insight will glean a lot from listening to this. Great work!
