41: Hakuba in Japan, Women-only in Méribel & Single Skier Advice

In Episode 41 Iain finds out a women-only snowboard camp in Méribel, Jim talks to Mike about his adventures in Hakuba, Japan and we discuss why you should never ring a specialist travel agency if you're travelling on your own.

Show Notes

Iain was at the winter edition of LISTEX
We’ve chatted about Brexit in detail previously in Episode 8 and Episode 20
James Gambrill presented his research about UK consumers. You can view his slideshow with all the stats here
The ‘Zuke’ was one of the products pitched in the LISTEX Dragon's Den
Iain interviewed Corinne Matthews (‘Cozza’) about Ticket To Ride’s Womens’ Only Snowboarding Camp in Méribel
This week’s ‘Ask Jim and Iain’ feature is a question about single travellers
Neither of us recommend you ring a specialist ski travel agency
Try Skiworld or Solos Holidays, or maybe join one of the Snowheads trips
Hannah James enjoyed our feature in Episode 40 about motorhomes in ski resorts, especially as she’s done a lot of it herself. You can check out her blog at www.winterised.com and we’ll be interviewing her in a later episode.
Jim interviewed Pod regular Mike Richards about Hakuba in Japan, which is now an Inghams destination
Mike has previously been on the pod discussing skiing in Montenegro and Georgia
Frank Saffery asked on Facebook 'if you had some Japan features' – we did also cover Niseko in Episode 32
Danny Mayes asked if he could hear something about Andorra or the Pyrénées – we have featured the French Pyrénées in Episode 9 and Episode 33 and Iain is travelling to Cauterets in February
Thanks to Zeid for his kind comments: "Thank you so much for creating this podcast"
The London Ski Festival runs from 24-27 October
Jim and Iain would love to read ‘My Story’ by Eddie the Eagle, but only if it’s less expensive than £100
