In Episode 45, Jim visits Villars while Iain tests the new funicular in Les Arcs. We discuss tips for driving on snow after Iain's experience in Val d'Isère and Jim checks his sweat rate.

There's a Team GB update and we up our shred content with an interview about White Lines Magazine.

The Ski Podcast would like to thank Switzerland Tourism for their support.
