Welcome to episode 69 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this episode featuring Warren Jobbitt. This interview I think is one of my best and I had an engaging and enlightening conversation with Warren across a wide variety of subjects. We started off talking about skiing in Chile and his recent induction (for the second time) into the CSIA Hall of Fame. We moved on to chat about technical skiing and teaching, skating (again) and the direction of the CSIA education committee. We finished off chatting about his Ultimate Ski Congress and what he has coming up this winter.

Welcome to episode 67 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring Jamie Kagan. Jamie was on the pod recently with Derek Tate talking about the Professional Ski Instructors of Europe. This episode we chat about his ski school, training centre and retail shop based in Nendaz. We talked about Jamie's long and winding journey to making a life in Switzerland, building his various businesses, training ski instructors and IASI, PSIE and Interski. I did this interview in person with Jamie in Nendaz and I always think that chemistry shows in these in person interviews. I very much enjoyed the coffee and chat with a like minded soul.

Welcome to episode 66 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring Ali Gibb and Rachel Kerr of the Women's Mountain Club. The Women's Mountain Club is a year round club for women doing all sorts of mountain activities. It originally started with skiing but has expanded in recent years to include hiking, biking, climbing and a bunch of other stuff too. I talk to Ali and Rach about their journey towards becoming fully certified instructors in France, how the WMC came about, cuckoo clocks, periods, gender differences in learning, why female only groups work and a whole bunch of other stuff. It's a great interview if I do say so myself and I think you'll really enjoy it.
