Joanna Yellowlees-Bound joins Iain for this special episode as we cover her year career in the ski industry, graduating from resort rep to managing director of Erna Low - one of the oldest ski companies in the UK. Joanna is one of the most experienced professionals in the UK ski industry, with a career that spans the first halcyon days of the ski business in the 80s to our post-Brexit world today, including a key role in the development of Arc I mix current episodes with those from your back catalogue. As someone who found skiing in middle age I am completely hooked. Keep up the brilliant work and here's to winter. There is so much to listen to in our back catalog: just go to theskipodcast. Our equipment specials are being published on the Skipedia YouTube channel. You can follow me skipedia and the podcast theskipodcast. Ellis Brigham are the winter sports specialists, with 16 shops around the UK where you can find all the kit you need for this winter. Alternatively, simply go to their website at ellis-brigham. Like all your episodes, this one was outstanding. Al has an excellent command of the subject, and he explains the basic foundational factors that go in to ski selection in an enjoyable and understandable way.

We go behind the scenes of British skiing and snowboarding to find out what goes into running an organisation like GB Snowsport and how a country with no mountains outperforms countries from across the world. This episode is part of a series of podcasts we're publishing this winter focusing on women in the snowsports industry. I thought I was brave at 10 years old setting off into the hills on my own on a mountain bike After holidays in Tignes the last two winters my 6-year-old is hooked too.

Today we look at skiing in Sweden and Hemsedal in Norway and we find out what it's like coaching your kids to be pro skiers. Plus we find out more about the European Sleeper service to Innsbruck and the Dolomites, as well as discovering what Crans Montana is like in September. Thanks for keeping this going over the summer, when most other ski related podcasts stop…roll on the autumn! You were talking about where to get second-hand skis. At the beginning of the season, a lot of resorts organise Braderies where the local shops pool ex-hire or last season kit to sell in one convenient place. Another great option is shops like Trocsport which sell secondhand skis on behalf of individuals. There are loads of small shops like this. You can do that too, there is so much to listen to in our previous episode, just go to theskipodcast. If you like the podcast, there are three things you can do to help: 1 Follow us. Chemmy Alcott is probably the most well-known woman in snowsports in the UK. After a racing career that took her to four Winter Olympics, she now balances presenting Ski Sunday on the BBC, with bringing up her young family and coaching new aspiring racers. Plus, we have the latest gossip on which European destination Vail Resorts are planning to buy next. We went to the Dolomites with Inspired Italy last season. It was an amazing adventure; great terrain, food, and people. Plus we report on Tignes' decision to split with Compagnie des Alpes. By Design. Super interesting. In this episode we focus on Courchevel, including an update on the Saulire cable car and how the resort is surviving without Russians, plus we discuss summer in Les 2 Alpes and find out about the new Northern Snow Show. I always listen to them as they remind me of all the places we've skied and boarded over the years. We also look into how SBIT are lobbying for more trains to the Alps and the possible Youth Mobility Scheme, which would be great news for young people wanting to do a ski season. Iain was joined by Australia specialist and founder of the Snowbest. I remember the old SCUK forum days. There are episodes of The Ski Podcast to catch up with. We find out about the off-piste resort of La Grave and the state of the snowsports market in the USA, including ways to tackle climate change and bring newcomers to the sport. Love the podcast, thanks! There is so much to listen to in our back catalog, just go to www. There is so much to listen to in our back catalog, just go to theskipodcast. I skimmed previous episodes and was surprised to see you've never covered the Brit favourite of Sauze d'Oulx. It suffered an unfair reputation as a Benidorm-on-snow resort in the 90s, particularly after a very sneering Wish You Were Here episode. It's actually a charming old town and has a fabulous ski area linking to the huge Vialattea' Paul Bond: 'Episode was as ever great listening. I've skied all over Europe and finally skied in Baqueira in March. Plenty of challenge with a unique vibe but also easy for a mixed ability family to ski the same mountains and meet up. My top tip: Hire a car from Toulouse and stay in Vielha in valley: a great old town with lots of accommodation and good value eateries. This special episode is an interview with pro-skier and filmmaker Paddy Graham. Paddy was one of the first wave of British freeskiers who burst out of the UK dry slope and indoor scene into the international arena in the earlys. Paddy is an extremely accomplished freeride and freestyle skier, but is best known for the incredibly creative ski films that he's starred in and produced, as co-founder of the legendary production company Legs of Steel. I retired to the Swiss Alps in and have listening since then. I loved the early episodes with Jim, but I have to say the podcast has gone from strength to strength since you took it on alone. We discuss Baqueira Beret in Spain and finding out about skiing in China — the fastest growing ski market in the world. We discuss Les 2 Alpes in France, Trysil in Norway and find out more about a great new way of travelling to the snow on your ski holiday. It helps me out with a bit of research. I have taken the decision to offset my carbon to mitigate air travel, but the lack of economically viable train option from Manchester and similar areas remains a problem. I'm heading to Engelberg in just over a week. I'm currently wrestling over travel - given my concerns around climate change. Currently my calculations are that it will be cheaper to fly. I wondered whether you have any tips for reducing the cost over the Eurostar and SNCF published prices. Keep up the good work with the podcast. This episode is a special interview with professional snowboarder Xavier De La Rue. We speak about his competitive past, the cliff named after him in Verbier, his move into film making and adventures in places such as Alaska, Svalbard and Antarctica. We also discuss his almost fatal avalanche and how it changed his views about risk-taking. Finally, we talk about sustainability and his Audi Experience Camps taking place in Verbier this winter. We find out more about Val Cenis and the Haute Maurienne area of France as well as discoving what the skiing in Slovenia is like. Iain was joined by freelance journalists Katja Gaskell and Rob Rees. I am sure you could get him back on, sounds like he has a hundred more stories in him. I was keenly interested in your interview with Mike Goar from Vail Resorts. I also found the two recent episodes discussing the resorts in Norway fascinating. Keep up the good work. In this episode, we discuss Verbier, Saalbach Hinterglemm and the impact of climate change on ski resorts. Iain was joined by freelance journalist and regular guest Catherine Murphy and David George, founder of the PisteHors. In most of the Vail Resorts-owned resorts prices have gone sky high so only the rich can ski. Ski passes are almost three times the price of a European ski resort. Lift lines are unbelievably long. The local staff are removed to bring in centralised American staff, ripping the heart out of the resort. Latest Earliest Most played Most popular Search.

Buying blow Hemsedal

Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. Was peak week for this resort — Oslo half term. No fuss. No queues. Hire car Rented an estate from Europcar. Used boot liner made from bin bags. Sooo sophisticated, I know. Loved having a car in resort. Doubled up as ski locker during the day and allowed us to drive to a lovely little satellite resort called Solheisen without having to rely on the once-a-day ski bus. Molla Cabins We stayed at one of the Molla Cabins in the Skicentre area, about 10mins walk from the Alpin Lodge and the lifts, and about mins walk from Hemsedal town. Generally great. Kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, coffee maker yadda yadda. Dining area with big table and seating for about 6. Living room area. Bathroom and sauna complete the downstairs rooms. Upstairs bedroom and living room accessible via ridiculously steep stairs. Stupidly, dangerously, unusably steep. The Molla Cabins were almost exclusively inhabited by families. Resort The resort area is centred around the Alpin Lodge restaurant, hotel, apartments, ski shop, supermarket, ski hire, lockers which is at the bottom of all the slopes bar the run back to Hemsedal town. More apartments are located in the Skarsnuten development which is located some 1. Sounds nice, but difficult to get to once the cronky two man chair and ski bus stop running. Ski run down to the Alpin Lodge is OK, but not one for beginners. Hemsedal town centre is about 2 miles from the Alpin Lodge. Boots always dry in the morning. Ski hire and passes Booked through Skistar website. Very quick service with kit because all of our vital statistics weight, height, ability had been provided when booking. Helmets provided free of charge for all. You get 8 days kit and pass for the price of 6 — useful if your travel plans allow you to make use of it! The skiing This is not a resort for those who like things steep or long. Longest run is a 6km green. This is a resort for intermediates, families and those who like their snow parks. There is lots and lots of off-piste, if snow permits, not that we bothered with that. The skiing is located in one area, which means that you always end up back at the same place. Allows people to ski different slopes and meet up at the same place. The skiing is on two 'levels' - skiing from m back to the resort at m is through trees and is relatively well protected from the weather. The skiing above m is essentially blues and reds and is rather exposed. Last week, a lot of the upper runs were denuded of snow and therefore prone to icy patches because of the wind. Runs at Tinden peak are very exposed, windswept and cold. First time I have been shot peened with ice marbles and literally blown down a piste. Rogjin peak runs were probably our favourite because they are less exposed than the Tinden peak runs. A green goes all the way down from the top of the main lift to the bottom. This green run got v busy at times, especially at the weekends in the afternoon, and the snow became very cut up very quickly. Several runs of various colours branch down from the green run. Red 7 is a nice proper ski run with a road section leading to a relatively steep but wide face. Black 8 is as straightforward as a black run can be should probably be a red. Both Red 7 and Black 8 were out of bounds for significant periods because of race training. Also, Solheisen is a lovely little resort worth a half day trip. Very chilled and not v busy. We got there at on Sat morning and we were the second family there. I thought it was going to be busy like Hemsedal. Girls a bit miffed that they were dragged up early doors to make sure we got a parking space. Only two tow lifts and 6 pistes. Lifty slowed down T-bar for younger daughter who has T-baritis. They have changed the night skiing schedule — now ski till 7pm on Tues-Thur on the floodlit pistes, and from on Friday. Early morning skiing on Sat. Kids enjoyed and would want a longer lesson next year because skiing with ma and pa is sooo slow and boring, apparently. Higher slopes lost snow due to wind, leading to an ice fest on many days. On 5 days, it was warm — leading to slush which gave some slush moguls — my first moguls - yay or sugar which was a right PITA to be honest. The home-run green became very slushed or sugary, making for carnage! The piste prep was a little disappointing — icy or at least very hardpack, with lots of death marbles about. The lifts Could do with an upgrade. The main 8-man chair was out of action the first day — which meant big queues elsewhere and meant that lots of pistes were unaccessible. Not v impressive. The Olaheisen lift is also, erm, leisurely. Tindenheisen chair is very cold. Food, drink and apres Generally expensive, but manageable because we self-catered. Buy stuff from duty free on the way out of the UK or into Oslo. Eating out can be expensive, but there are places that are not too pricey. The restaurant at the top of the main lift still does menus which were not too bad e. Good exercise. Silly blinking skis. Hilarious trying to descend on them. Fell over more in a couple hours than I did the rest of the week. Would we DIY again? Too right. Saved money and gave us lots of flexibility. Would we go back? We love Norway, the people and the fun attitude to ski school. But we will probably try a different resort, may be Trysil, and may book accommodation through Ski Norway so that kids can do longer ski school sessions. Piccies now added:. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Good report - sounds like a mixed picture, with some of the very limited skiing being inaccessible at times either because of lift breakdown or race training. And obviously the snow was poor, which was disappointing. You can actually get fun ski schools in the Alps, you know, there are loads of competitors to the ESF, if you don't like them. And in Austria many ski schools are all day, which your girls would like. You could easily self cater in a small French resort four times the size of Trysil, at least for that money. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? We have gone to Norway for the last couple of years because one of us does not get on well with living at altitude one of us gets a benign heart condition when living at altitude - I appreciate that some of the Austrian resorts are not that high and may be an option. The cost did not include food. You need to Login to know who's really who. Another cracking and entertaining report to follow last years. Would like to get to Scandinavia one day so keep them coming. But didnt realise the ski schools there dont do full days as that would be better for one of our park rats. Pity about the snow you had and poor show about the lift being out of order. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. You'll need to Register first of course. Unfortunately the first sentence being 'UK's leading luxury winter sports specialist to Norway. If we did it might prefer to do DIY like you to keep a lid on costs given that it doesn't look too cheap to begin with. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports That's why quite a few people we met do accomm. After all it is free. Good TR; thanks. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Photos now added - it does get sunny in Norway! Ski the Net with snowHeads. Nice report Dobby! We called the croaky two man up to the Skarsnuten the knee chopper. He didn't like us, sped it up and took me out twice. And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. But icy after high winds So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. Fruity , you went the week before half term IIRC. You know it makes sense. Nice report, thanks. I certainly 'feel your pain' about the kids not wanting to ski with a 'slow' parent. Given the number of resorts involved, I don't think this is a coincidence, so maybe ESF aren't too bad. Or maybe we've just been lucky. That said, the kids maintain the most enjoyable lessons they've had were in Saas Fee. The instructor there was English and the enhanced enjoyment came from the instructor being a bit of a comedian in his native language rather than the skiing, though there was a session where he had them jumping off the roof of a snow covered mountain hut Understandably, being able to amuse kids in a second language seems much harder than teaching them to ski in a second language. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. Did you not drop off the back of Rogjin, down through the 'rubber forest' and get a taxi back to the resort The taxis are waiting at the bottom for you! Tinden is very exposed when its cold, and as for Olaheisen - well, you don't use it unless you really, really have to. Bit of a bummer if the 8-pack's not running though - everything depends on it. Olaheisen is nice if you fancy a rest New Topic Post Reply. Snow Snow Snow!
