    85 - Charlie Brooksbank - Pure Powder

    Welcome to episode 85 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring Charlie Brooksbank of Pure Powder. Pure Powder is a tour operator and they organise heli and cat skiing tours and holidays.  This interview is a slight departure from our usual interviews of ski instructors and ski school directors and gives a different perspective on life in the ski industry and how ski instrcutors and guides fit into that. We chat about how the business has evolved over the years and the challenges of running a business like this.

    83 - Mark Shaxted, part 1 - IASI Educator and CSIA Course Conductor

    Welcome to episode 83 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this month featuring Mark Shaxted who has been ski teaching for over 25 years and is an IASI Educator and CSIA Course Conductor. I had a great chat with Mark, taking about his back story in skiing and we soon went off on a tangent into topics such as how not to become a cynical ski instructor, how a ski turn actually works and snowplough deniers. This is part 1 of the conversation and part 2 will follow next month.  I had a great time recording this and I think that comes through in the edit. Happy listening Dave music by www.bensound.com

    82 - Billy Clark part 2 - Billski

    Welcome to episode 82 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring part 2 of the interview with Billy Clark from Billski. Billski is a ski school that works on the French side of the Portes du Soleil in Morzine, Avoriaz and Les Gets.  I see Bill often on the mountain during the winter but this podcast was recorded in his house in Morzine in the summer. Bill was one of the youngest BASI qualified full cert instructors at the age of 22 and we know a lot of mutual people in and around the area.  This connection really comes through in the interview and it's a friendly and laid back one. In part 2 of the interview, we chat about Billski, how it got started and has evolved and his approach to marketing.  We also chat about the evolution of the French side of the Portes du Soleil over the years. You can find Billski here - https://billski.co.uk/about-billski/ https://www.instagram.com/billski85/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/www.billski.co.uk Happy listening Dave www.snow-pros.ski music by www.bensound.com

    78 - Jason Hendy - Impulse Racing and Gloucester Ski Club

    Welcome to episode 78 of the podcast, this week featuring Jason Hendy. I worked with Jason this winter at a race we were running in Les Crosets and we started a really interesting chat about ski boots but we didn't get a chance to finish it and that is what this podcast is. It's very much a follow up to episode 77 with Tom Gellie and we touch on a lot of the same topics about boots and this episode deliberately follows that one as a continuation of that topic. Jason has thought deeply about this topic of boots and getting the right set up for you, then the conversation moves on to coaching on the dry slope in the UK, working with kids on a week to week basis and how to go fast on a dry slope. I loved chatting with Jason and it really comes across in this podcast.  You can find Jason here:   https://www.instagram.com/alpin_ish/ https://www.facebook.com/jason.hendy.7 Happy listening Dave dave@snow-pros.ski www.snow-pros.ski/lessons music by www.bensound.com
