Reviews

Leon Butler: “It was cool to watch 'The Ski Podcast Live'
Al Morgan (LinkedIn): "Superb episode of The Ski Podcast"

Don't forget you can always buy me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/theskipodcast and all cuppas are much appreciated. This episode I'd like to thank Kimberley Kay and Mike Greenland, who also said:

"Love the podcast. I have skied at least twice a year ever since 1970. Started on wooden skis and lace up leather boots. Things have changed...missed my first season this year due to covid but hope to keep the calendar annual record going as I am off in Dec”

I really do appreciate reading all feedback about the show, so please do email me theskipodcast@gmail.com & if you can give us a review on Apple Podcasts

We also have a few stickers left, so if you'd like some for your skis, board, helmet or phone, pls drop us an email or contact us via social with your address.
