It's a special episode of the Lift Pass Podcast this week as we are joined by our close friend Oli, TheOrionSound to share stories from his years on the slopes.

We tasked Oli with describing his perfect day of skiing, sharing his favourite ski areas, and describing the moment he saved one of our hosts from a traumatic toboggan incident.

We discuss our upcoming trip to Courchevel and Oli's skiing ambitions.

Sam returns from a week of skiing in Austria in an episode packed with stories from his trip!

We discuss Sam's recent trip to Zell am See in Austria. Sam shares his transition from snowboarding to skiing due to an ankle injury, and the challenges faced while adjusting to skiing after many years.

We explore the differences between skiing and snowboarding, the importance of confidence on the slopes, and the impact of weather conditions on skiing experiences. And, we discuss chalets versus hotels while skiing. Finally, we answer a listener's question about who is trying to decide on owning versus renting skis, weighing the costs and benefits of each option.
