52: The Aspen Ski Thief, Graham Bell's 'Hausenkamm' & Andermatt

This week Jim and Iain interview Graham Bell about what inspired him to take on the famous 'Hausenkamm' ski run.

Iain finds out about the world's most prolific ski thief in Aspen, as well as the rise and fall and rise of Andermatt.

There's our ski book group chat about 'Aiming High' and travel advice from Dave Froome about that pesky thing called COVID-19.

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