Welcome to part 1 of episode 79 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring Joe Dunn, a ski instructor at Deer Valley but you might know him better from his amazing YouTube channel, Ski Dad TV. We jump immediately into an in-depth chat about technical skiing, how to introduce people to carving and an in-depth discussion on width of ski. It's a great interview full of good energy.

Welcome to episode 78 of the podcast, this week featuring Jason Hendy. I worked with Jason this winter at a race we were running in Les Crosets and we started a really interesting chat about ski boots but we didn't get a chance to finish it and that is what this podcast is. It's very much a follow up to episode 77 with Tom Gellie and we touch on a lot of the same topics about boots and this episode deliberately follows that one as a continuation of that topic. Jason has thought deeply about this topic of boots and getting the right set up for you, then the conversation moves on to coaching on the dry slope in the UK, working with kids on a week to week basis and how to go fast on a dry slope. I loved chatting with Jason and it really comes across in this podcast.

Welcome to episode 77 of The Ski Instructor Podcast this week featuring Tom Gellie of Big Picture Skiing. This podcast was prompted by a recent viral Facebook post that Tom put together based on his recent experience of skiing in rental boots at Ski Dubai. We talk extensively about the reasons why rental boots are like they are, what the purpose of them are and how quickly you need to get out of them in order to progress. As usual with Tom and I, we ended up on a bunch of tangents about different stuff to do with boots and customising them to suit your own body. To find out more about Tom, you can go back and listen to my previous episode where I interviewed Tom extensively, the link to that is here. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0CaBF1sZ3IG1xkC5PpLqqk?si=IWMpLd0JTLa7D-US3MAHFA I hope you are enjoying skiing wherever you are and I'll catch you on the next episode.
