The Whiteout Podcast – Season 5, Episode 89 (March 27)

This week on The Whiteout Podcast, Dom and Rob return with a late season special as the European ski season heads into its final stretch.

Brought to you in partnership with our headline sponsor Crystal Ski Holidays
https://www.crystalski.co.uk/

We look at what’s happening across the Alps, from excellent spring skiing conditions in places like Kitzbühel and Lech, to why late March and April can be one of the best times to ski. Think quieter slopes, longer days, more sun and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Rob is heading to the Jungfrau region to explore Wengen and Grindelwald and attend the opening of the new Schilthorn cable car, while Dom shares updates from recent and upcoming North America trips.

We also break down current snow conditions across Europe, with a strong base still holding at altitude heading into Easter.
