Welcome to episode 85 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring Charlie Brooksbank of Pure Powder. Pure Powder is a tour operator and they organise heli and cat skiing tours and holidays. This interview is a slight departure from our usual interviews of ski instructors and ski school directors and gives a different perspective on life in the ski industry and how ski instrcutors and guides fit into that. We chat about how the business has evolved over the years and the challenges of running a business like this.

Welcome to episode 84 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this month featuring part 2 of my interview with Mark Shaxted who has been ski teaching for over 25 years and is an IASI Educator and CSIA Course Conductor. Our conversation continues and touches on how to get better at skiing and teaching whilst you're working on a daily basis, how to make a year round living from skiing, knee injury recovery, skiing and teaching in China and much more.

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
