Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

330: Kirsty Muir, Chemmy Alcott on LifePass and How to become a Snowboard Judge
Q: How do you get an international qualification to be a snowboard judge?

330: Kirsty Muir, Chemmy Alcott on LifePass and How to become a Snowboard Judge
Q: What prompted you to come up with the idea in the first place?
After encountering an injured skier on a whiteout day and struggling to locate her and communicate with emergency services, Pete McFetridge thought technology could make mountain rescues easier.
331: The Jandri 3S & the Future of Ski Lifts in Les 2 Alpes plus the new ‘Ski & Art’ Book
Q: How did you decide which lifts to upgrade next?
The decision is taken in collaboration with the local municipality, focusing first on extracting guests to higher altitudes and enabling operation across multiple seasons to accommodate various activities beyond skiing.
329: The Best Ski Boots of 2027 | Alpine - Freeride
Q: Frazer, could you elaborate on what happens with custom insoles and boot liners during the Profeet fitting?
We customize insoles using a mold taken from the foot and a durable insole material to distribute pressure evenly, improving comfort and proprioception. Liners can be heated, ground, or adjusted with additional materials or cork to better match foot shape, enabling a more secure and responsive fit.
329: The Best Ski Boots of 2027 | Alpine - Freeride
Q: But Frazer, I wondered if you could explain what happens if someone goes to the Profeet Ski Boot Lab in terms of the fit, what happens during that fitting process?
We begin with a hands-on assessment of ankle mobility and foot function, followed by a pressure scan to identify pressure points. Then we measure feet to determine size and find three likely boot options. The process emphasizes narrowing choices to the best candidates and involves trying on several boots to assess fit and comfort, aiming for the least worst rather than perfection at first try.
