This is episode 12 of the Knowledge is Powder Podcast - And we are getting serious. Iain takes an indepth look at how the British Olympic Association are sending misleading messages about Team GB’s performance at the winter games. We talk to Dave Burrows a ski instructor based in Switzerland. Dave helps us to understand what different levels of skier are potentially doing wrong and how we can make sure we are skiing to the best of our ability. Jim reports from the 3 Valleys where he has been skiing alot and has been using social media and other peoples local knowledge to hunt out the best runs the area has to offer.
