Emily skied on Stöckli at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics Reviews UnboundedContext: "Definitely the best ski & snowboard podcast i've come across" The Snowboard Instructor Podcast: "Such a great podcast to listen to" Ben Davies: “I just found your podcast. I was a part of the UK ski and snowboard industry back in the late 1990's early 2000's (iglu.com, St Anton, Mottaret, never summer snowboards) & your chat with Tony McWilliam reminded me of those times. Thanks for the memories and your hard work, it's great to listen to the UK perspective from here in BC. Still in the ski industry, now ski patrolling (12 years!) and managing a small hotel in the middle of some of the best skiing in the world.”
