LianaF1234: "Always look forward to the newest episode. It's a fantastic listen with invaluable insight into resorts, the latest kit, and guest speakers. Really valued the Ski Train episode and your feature at this year's Birmingham Snow Show. It’s helped to debunk the unknowns around taking the train to the Alps and we’re excited to have booked the train to Tignes in January!”
