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.

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
