This bonus episode is the epitome of what sitting on a chairlift with your friends is all about... Vicky and Nige are Mia's parents, and its always fun to catch up with them in Laax and go for a shred. I think sometimes they get caught up in the contest environment and forget to enjoy themselves. Well, thats where I step in! We went for a proper shred around Laax, joined as well by The Reason's filmer Duncan Wright, and had a proper tear up.
I recorded a few chats with these guys, because there was some questions we didn't get to when I interviewed them for the main pod last year, none of which come up on this one, but will before the main podcast starts again.
I also talk about the Thank U Snowboarding Community Building Camp 26, if that sounds like something you want to get involved in, then head over to https://thankusnowboarding.wixsite.com/spring2026 for more details and how to reserve a space. Its going to be RAD!
See you again soon for more chairlift chats in the run up to full episodes this autumn... x
