57: Summer Skiing in Switzerland, Eco Ski Clothing & Dave Ryding

In Episode 57, Iain reports on skiing in the ‘new normal’ on his trip to Saas Fee and Zermatt in Switzerland - including an exclusive interview with Dave Ryding.

Jim and Iain interview Rachael Westbrook from new sustainable ski clothing retailer EcoSki

Jim reveals the challenges set for him by Dave Burrows and we wonder if anything has changed in the world of ski since 1988.
