Episode 17: Buy a Ski Resort, Instructor Training & Meals on Wheels

Iain and Jim aren’t getting much skiing in at the moment which is probably why they are discussing skiing in fancy dress, what they would do if they bought a ski resort and their best ski related car boot sale find.

We have big news as The Ski Podcast wins its first award!

There is also a report from Meribel on what it is like to train as a ski instructor and they talk to Paddy the founder of Huski – a ready meals delivery company that could be set to shake up the traditional catered ski holiday.
