57: Summer Skiing in Switzerland, Eco Ski Clothing & Dave Ryding

In Episode 57, Iain reports on skiing in the ‘new normal’ on his trip to Saas Fee and Zermatt in Switzerland - including an exclusive interview with Dave Ryding.

Jim and Iain interview Rachael Westbrook from new sustainable ski clothing retailer EcoSki

Jim reveals the challenges set for him by Dave Burrows and we wonder if anything has changed in the world of ski since 1988.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed us on iTunes

Ged Ainsworth said: "Just to hear the title music puts me in eager anticipation of sliding on snow again! "
Andrew Brennan was looking at an 1988 ski magazine and realised that much is the same as the podcast now, with Graham Bell, Eddie the Eagle, climate change and people travelling by train all featuring!

Amy Moore told us she's never heard of the Magic Pass and asked if we know of any other Alps season passes?
We discussed both Snow Pass and the Magic Pass in Episode 35
You can find out more about 'Ski A La Carte' here: www.skialacarte.fr
Other big area passes include the Ikon Pass and the Epic Pass

Coming up

We're going to have a short break through August, with Episode 58 going live on or around 08 September.

Have a great summer and you can hear from us again then!
