“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Earlier this month I got back from a two-month spell in Chamonix. What a privilege to spend so much time in this beautiful place.
I managed my highest number of ski days - across 14 different areas - for thirty years.
I gazed at an incomparable Mont Blanc view each morning; and had the opportunity to explore the high mountains myself, guided by the excellent Brad Carlson.
And I had the chance to spend time with so many friends, including, but not limited to Duncan H Martin, Steph Lightfoot, Jonathan Trigell, Betony Garner, Sam Morton, Dave Burrows, Chris Moran, Jim Duncombe, Sasha Ryazantsev and Adam Johnston.
I've just published Episode 313 of The Ski Podcast, which is a Chamonix Special. It's my attempt to explain why Chamonix is 'more than just a resort'.
If you're looking for somewhere to 'stop and look around', then you couldn't find a better place.
You can listen to that now on Spotify, at theskipodcast.com or wherever you download podcasts.
