FEEDBACK

You can give us feedback about the show, on social to @theskipodcast or by email to theskipodcast@gmail.com

Rachel Frisby: "Loved episode about La Plagne (99). Love the resort so much.”

Joe McHugh: “Great podcast again, as always! Regarding the Vanoise Express link to Les Arcs, if you stay in Montchavin, you can ski a full day in either La Plagne or Les Arcs. The village is one lift away in the morning and there are no extra lifts to be taken in the evening: you just ski back to the village. It’s a traditional village, quiet with limited night-life, but location makes it a great base to explore the whole Paradiski area.”

Richard_Sideways: “Great special with Warren Smith”

BobinCH: “Great podcast with Warren! Didn’t know he filmed with Guido Perrini”

Liam Major: “I just wanted to say I've been listening through the podcast series and I'm hooked, you and Iain do a really good job. I've only recently developed an interest in skiing and have started listening through all of your podcasts in anticipation for my first trip away. The magnitude of knowledge I've have learned from these podcasts is exceptional so I can't thank you enough.”
