Episode 54: How to build a chairlift in your garden & Dave Ryding interview
Jim and Iain (virtually) meet British slalom skier Dave Ryding in this episode and we find out about his training in lockdown, his new coffee shop and plenty more.
Iain interviews the inventor of the best homemade chairlift you’ll ever see and there’s news of how you can escape from the Valais in Switzerland.
The Ski Podcast would like to thank Switzerland Tourism for their continued support and extending their sponsorship into this summer.
