Drop us a message with any questions you may have :)INTROEarly-season legs are back. Gym-fit doesn’t mean ski-fit, and Dom and Rob kick things off with a familiar first-week-on-snow reality check. Take it easy, warm up properly, stretch after skiing, and accept that skiing fitness only really comes from skiing. Expect useful advice, unnecessary movie references and the usual White Out chaos.NEWSIn the news, there’s good news for anyone driving to the Alps this winter. The EU Entry/Exit System has been delayed again, easing fears of Channel crossing delays at peak times. The Post Office Travel Money Ski Resort Report also lands, with Italy once again dominating the value charts, while Nordic resorts continue to rise as strong, family-friendly alternatives. We also look at a new report revealing where celebrities ski — Aspen, Courchevel, Verbier, St Moritz, Zermatt and Whistler Blackcomb — and why these resorts continue to attract the A-list.WHERE IS BEST TO SKI NOWSnow-wise, the Alps are delivering solid piste skiing despite recent warmth, while attention shifts west. Conditions in British Columbia are shaping up well, reinforcing its reputation as one of the world’s great ski regions.GEAR BUYERS GUIDE WITH ELLIS BRIGHAM MOUNTAIN SPORTSGear time, in association with Ellis Brigham, covers standout kit for the season including the Rossignol Arcade W 84, Nordica Unlimited 94, Dalbello Veloce Space boots, Scott’s Women’s Ultimate GTX jacket and Dolomite’s 54 High FG Evo GTX. Dual BOA boots, ZipFit liners, Thermic insoles and slope comms all get a mention as winter shopping ramps up.DESTINATION BCThe Destination Guide is all about British Columbia this week. We’re joined by Jamie from Panorama Mountain Resort, who describes the resort in three words: destination, friendly and adventure. Panorama offers big vertical, wide-open terrain and uncrowded skiing high above the Columbia Valley — a proper Powder Highway classic.We then head further along the Powder Highway to Fernie Alpine Resort, joined by Powder Matt. Fernie is renowned for its five alpine bowls, legendary tree skiing and consistent snowfall, paired with one of Canada’s best-loved ski towns.If the Powder Highway isn’t already on your list, it probably should be.Ski Independence: https://www.ski-i.com Post Office Ski Resort Report: https://www.postoffice.co.uk/skireport2026 Ellis Brigham: https://www.ellis-brigham.com Panorama Mountain Resort: https://www.panoramaresort.com Fernie Alpine Resort: https://www.skifernie.comSupport the showIn the meantime Enjoy the mountains :) And Please do leave a review as it's the only way other like minded travellers get to find us!
