66: Mega snow in St Anton, Verbier Truth, Jasmin Taylor & Graham Bell

In Episode 66, Andy joins us direct from St Anton with all the latest news from a very snowy Austria.

We’re also joined by journalist Abi Butcher who reveals the truth behind the alleged ‘Escape from Verbier’.

There’s an update from Graham Bell on his final preparations for ‘Dancing on Ice’, during which he reveals what music he’ll be dancing to, plus GB Telemarker Jasmin Taylor lets us know how her season preparations are going.
