Episode 19: New Lifts in Val d’Isère, London Ski Show & Hiring Ski Clothing
Jim and Iain report in for their final pod of the summer – yes, believe it or not, winter is only round the corner!
In Episode 19, Iain talks to the team from Val d’Isère Telepheriques (9:00) about the new gondola in La Daille and to the Telegraph about the London Ski Festival (14:30) in October.
Ed Mannix from Matterhorn Chalets gives us an update (3:00) on the summer snow conditions on the Zermatt glacier (hint: get up early!).
Jim chats to Oxygene, the Tarentaise ski school (29:00) who are adding in clothing hire as a new service for skiers this winter. Would you rent ski clothing, either from the UK or in the Alps? Let us know via email or on Twitter.
And we trail our next ski book group book: ‘Ski The World’ by Arnie Wilson, which we’ll discuss in our next pod in September.
