Ep13 Travels with Skis, Jannik Sinner, Lindsey Vonn, Ros Canter, Speeding, Thieves, VIP competition, Doodling

In this episode, Laura reminds us of the trials of travelling with skis.

She also talks about Jannik Sinner – his early life as a ski racer and why he changed to tennis. His friend Lindsey Vonn was there to watch him win $5 million dollars at the US Open, but Lindsey and Laura both question why some sports are paid so much better than others. The 3-day eventer Ros Canter was included in this discussion.

Returning to Mont Blanc, theft !

Travel tips include new unmarked cars that can capture your speed, and the suggestion to arrive instead by train.

There is a request – VIP Ski are running a competition.

Please consider voting for Clare Edwards, who came with her husband Tony, to Val d’Isère to work for VIP Ski in 2012.

 A few years later Tony sadly died, 3 weeks after their son was born. 

If Clare wins, she can bring 5-year-old Theo on a holiday to La Plagne.
