S2. E12 The Best of Skiing 2023, Ski Gear, Après Ski, Snow Reports and What's coming for 2024

The White Out - Ski Podcast

Time to mention today’s sponsors, Ski Independence & Canada’s Alberta.

The team at Ski Independence have been sending customers to Alberta’s ski resorts for almost 30 years. With oodles of personal experience, they know all about the best places to stay, the best travel options… and everything in between: from Banff’s best après-ski locations, to breathtaking scenery at Lake Louise, or how to get the best out of a multi-centre itinerary – they highly recommended road-tripping up the spectacular Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper for an experience like no other.

Visit ski-i.com/alberta to find out more about booking Canada’s Alberta with tailor-made specialists Ski Independence.
