In Episode 95 of The Ski Podcast we discuss La Tania, Chamonix in summer, and the challenges facing the UK ski industry. Plus we talk to Arnie Wilson - the man who skied every single day for a year – and reveal our pick of the best new skis for next winter.
Iain was joined live by Diane Palumbo (
Skiworld), Toffa (
LaTania.co.uk) and Al Morgan (
SkiKitInfo), as well as down the line by Claire Burnet from Chamonix.
