Episode 18: La Rosiere’s New Ski Area, Book Reviews & Ski Property

Even though there is a heatwave going on in the UK, Iain and Jim are still talking about skiing and snowboarding.

In this 18th episode of The Ski Podcast Iain tells Jim off for misspelling Val d’Isère and reveals the most misspelt ski resort (3:30). Iain reports on the new ski area in La Rosiere that will see two new lifts installed, five new red runs and access to a new freeride area (10:00).

Jim chats to Mark from Snowonly a worldwide property selling website that specialises in ski homes (20:00), plus we have our inaugural book club where Jim and Iain review winter-related literature (34:00).
