    65 - Stefano Carlin, Ski Zenit

    Welcome to episode 65 of the Ski Instructor Podcast from a rainy Val-d'Illiez.This weeks episode features Stefano Carlin from Ski Zenit.  Ski Zenit aren't a traditional ski school in that they do a mix of normal ski school stuff in Saas Fee and Zinal in Valais, Switzerland, but they also do race coaching and camps over the summer in Saas Fee as well as ski coaching in more exotic places like China.We talked about Stefano, his long and roundabout journey to becoming a ski pro, how Ski Zenit came about, summer skiing and the future of glacier skiing, keeping healthy in the season, sparrows, dog chat in spanish and much more.It was a great chat and i loved Stefano's laid back and funny style.  You can find him at:www.skizenit.ch www.skiracingcamps.ch Happy listeningDave dave@snow-pros.ski www.snow-pros.ski/villars music by www.bensound.com

    64 - Tom Gellie revisited part 2, Big Picture Skiing

    Welcome to episode 64 of The Ski Instructor Podcast.One of my big regrets of all of the previous episodes that I have recorded was the poor sound quality on the original Tom Gellie episode.  So I got back in touch with Tom to have another long chat about skiing and the latest development and direction that he has gone with his business, Big Picture Skiing. This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation and we did this in two different seasons, once in June 2023 before the Australian ski season and the second part in November 2023, just before the start of this winter.We had a great conversation (with decent sound!) and talked in this second part about how you know what you know to be true,  why rotational and lateral separation matters, monoboard racing, long skis in the bumps, snow types and the brain as a prediction machine.I love chatting with Tom and I think this really comes through in the podcast.If you want to find Tom, you can go to his website www.bigpictureskiing.com Happy listening Dave dave@snow-pros.skiwww.snow-pros.ski/lessons   music by www.bensound.com
