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

Ian: “Just catching up on a few eps of the podcast. That 3 Valleys hike in Episode 184 sounds awesome!”

David: “Thanks so much for the podcast: my wife and I are keen listeners”

James Hawkins: “I love listening to every episode so keep up the good work. I enjoyed the conversation about golf in Episode 186 and wanted to mention the Kitzbuhel Golf Festival…they transform “The Streif” into a golf course for the day. The first tee shot is taken from the actual Hahnenkamm starting gate and you play the exact race track.”

Tom Kelly: “I've enjoyed listening to your podcasts. I also do a skiing pod, the Last Chair, for Ski Utah. The episode on rail travel to the Alps made me jealous that we really don't have that here in the USA.”

If you like the podcast, there are three things you can do to help:

1) Review us on Apple Podcasts (104 ratings) or Spotify (31 ratings)
2) Buy me a coffee at BMAC/theskipodcast (thanks David)
3) Book your ski hire with Intersport Rent using the code ‘SKIPODCAST’
