56: Australia, NZ & Skiing in the 'New Normal' in Les 2 Alpes

In Episode 56 Iain interviews Rachael Oakes-Ash, founder of the Australian website, Snowsbest.com.

Jim reports on skiing in the 'new normal' from Les 2 Alpes and we wonder if bears do that thing in the Arosa woods.

There’s news on a new virtual Ski Show and Iain looks forward to a visit to Saas Fee.
