Welcome to episode 74 of the Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring Donna Clarke who is the President of the Regional Performance Centre for the Ski Team Dents du Midi here in Calais, Switzerland.

The Dents du Midi is the local region around where I live and Donna is responsible for the structure bringing young skiers through and then onto Ski Valais and then the regional Swiss age group teams.
