Dom Winter (POW): “Thanks for making this great episode [about sustainability]“
Miranda Walsh (YT): “Thanks for posting this interview [with Alexis Pinterault]. It's a great listen”
Paul Bond (YT): “Great chat”
Christian (email): “Thanks for being such a great source of ski info!”
Rob (email): “I’m enjoying all your new podcasts”

If you enjoy the show, there's two things you can do to help:

1) Give us a review. You might hear this on other podcasts, but it genuinely does helps others find us

2) you're always welcome to BMAC at buymeacoffee.com/theskipodcast. The podcast is a passion project for me, every episode
takes 5-6 hours of my time, but I love it, so if you fancy buying me a coffee
that would be lovely.

You can follow me @skipedia and the podcast @theskipodcast
