Welcome to episode 83 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this month featuring Mark Shaxted who has been ski teaching for over 25 years and is an IASI Educator and CSIA Course Conductor. I had a great chat with Mark, taking about his back story in skiing and we soon went off on a tangent into topics such as how not to become a cynical ski instructor, how a ski turn actually works and snowplough deniers. This is part 1 of the conversation and part 2 will follow next month. I had a great time recording this and I think that comes through in the edit. Happy listening Dave music by www.bensound.com

Welcome to episode 82 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring part 2 of the interview with Billy Clark from Billski. Billski is a ski school that works on the French side of the Portes du Soleil in Morzine, Avoriaz and Les Gets. I see Bill often on the mountain during the winter but this podcast was recorded in his house in Morzine in the summer. Bill was one of the youngest BASI qualified full cert instructors at the age of 22 and we know a lot of mutual people in and around the area. This connection really comes through in the interview and it's a friendly and laid back one.

In part 2 of the interview, we chat about Billski, how it got started and has evolved and his approach to marketing. We also chat about the evolution of the French side of the Portes du Soleil over the years. You can find Billski here - https://billski.co.uk/about-billski/
