58: Norway, Swiss memories & the end of Après Ski?

In Episode 58, Iain is joined by the super-experienced Mike Richards.

We discuss skiing in Scotland and Norway, plus the latest news on how apres ski might look this winter in the Alps after both Ischgl and Mayrhofen announce plans to scale back partying.

There’s ski show chat, both virtual and physical, and an interview about LISTEX 2020 and we wonder if a drone could ever tow a skier?
