January 30, 2024 61 - Deb Armstrong - Olympic Gold Medallist and YouTube superstar
Welcome to Episode 61 of The Ski Instructor Podcast.

This week my guest probably needs no introduction as you will have all seen Deb's YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/@DebArmstrongSkiStrong but you probably haven't read her bio on what an extraordinary athlete she was in the 70's and 80's, culminating in her greatest success, the GS women's gold medal in the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo in 1984.

We had a great chat about all aspects of skiing. How the channel came about and her early formative years of skiing that lead up to such amazing success.

This was a great conversation with such good energy. I hope you enjoy it.

happy listening

September 15, 2023 57 - Jon Ahlsén and Tom Waddington - Level Up Ski Coaching

In this episode we chat all things to do with their new venture, ski instructor cars and accommodation, off season training and skiing robots.

I hope that you enjoy the episode as much as I did making it.
