Feedback

I enjoy all feedback about the show, I like to know what you think, ideas for features so please contact on social @theskipodcast or by email theskipodcast@gmail.com

Doug: "Listened to #182 on a run and loved it."

Simon Burgess: “I really enjoyed the Thredbo/Perisher episode. It brought back some really nice memories.”

Bo Spanding: “Truly enjoying the podcast, but I'm wondering why you're never talking about Scandinavian ski resorts. There are a lot of good areas in those countries (except for Denmark of course).”

We featured Svalbard in Episode 94 and Norway in Episode 58, plus our special interview with cross country skiers Andrew Musgrave and Andrew Young, who are based in Norway (47:00)
