I had three different Instructors come up to me saying I’m skiing totally different or better. I feel totally different and I’m not done yet!”

Global Skiing

I’m a ski instructor in Colorado always interested in personal ski improvement as well as improving as a teacher. I’ve had the privilege of skiing with Tom at the Rookie Academy in New Zealand and can vouch for his skill as a coach. The Global Skiing podcast proves he is a terrific interviewer as well! Tom has assembled an all-star group of interviewees from around the world and gets them to share their personal stories as well as delving into keys to what helps create truly expert skiing. His guests touch on everything from equipment to current technique to mental focuses. Every episode is both illuminating and entertaining. Global Skiing is a wonderful resource for anyone keen on the sport. (And yes, he interviews women, despite mistaken reviews from other folks.) Thanks, Tom!

Great info…

But the production value is terrible. Volume spikes make it borderline unlistenable, which is a shame. Tom and his guests have good conversations about all things skiing; clean up the audio and this becomes a five star podcast.
