EP 18: Ski Japan, Canada & Europe this winter, Spookiest haunts & Best travel gadgets
Description
Skiing in Japan in 2023/24 is going gangbusters. Europe is having a sweet spot with prices and new snow experiences. And there’s always Canada – Whistler and the Powder Highway string of resorts. The question is: where should you ski this northern winter?
Powder hound and journalist Flip Byrnes has slid on every continent, and answers all your ski questions as she talks about her new book, Ultimate Skiing and Snowboarding (Hardie Grant). We also cover off heli-ski in Greenland, why Italy is so good this year, cross-country ski and beginner skiing in Aspen Colorado and the delights of apres-ski.
We also get spooky ahead of Halloween, and reveal the most haunted alley in the world (hint: it’s in Scotland, see planetcruise.com). And Alaisdair and Belle share their favourite travel gadgets; we both love Bellroy tech bags – made in Melbourne from recycled materials – Belle’s second pick is the Swiss-made Skross universal travel adapter, and Alaisdair swears by Twelve South travel adaptors. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theworldawaits/message
