The Ski Podcast is a UK-based podcast that looks at at all aspects of the world of skiing and snowboarding, from resorts to racing, Ski Sunday to slush.

It is hosted by Iain Martin, who is joined by guests from the world of snow to chat about wintery stuff and probe around in the avalanche of ski news.

SkiKitInfo delivers expert ski kit advice on the podcast, discussing all things ski-kit related. We cover topics such as which type of skis to choose, how to select the right length, challenges of selecting kit based on gender, right through to tests and reviews of the latest gear.

Iain is part of the ski and snowboard industry furniture. He spent many winters in the mountains and went on to found Natives.co.uk – the season workers’ website. He now works runs Skipedia – a digital marketing consultancy specialising in snowsports – and is founder of Ski Flight Free – a campaign to encourage skiers to take the train or drive rather than flying to their ski holiday.
