Ash BhardwajGUEST
That was also a place where I was doing quite a bit of social leadership.
Ash BhardwajGUEST
One of the things I was doing was helping the students who were doing their gap course, so doing their year, getting their basic instructional levels, becoming part of the community of Verbier, which is largely running social events.
Ash BhardwajGUEST
But absolutely, when it comes to instructing, I really enjoyed working with kids.
Ash BhardwajGUEST
Partly because they have less anxiety.
Ken RideoutHOST
Which one?
Marc HodulichGUEST
We're going to Verbier, Switzerland.
Ken RideoutHOST
All right.
Ken RideoutHOST
I used to ski-
Marc HodulichGUEST
And, uh-
Ken RideoutHOST
When I lived in London, I had a ski house in Verbier for one season.
Marc HodulichGUEST
Oh, you're living right.
Ken RideoutHOST
Yeah.
Iain MartinGUEST
go.
Iain MartinGUEST
The other very obvious, I would say, big destination is Verbier, which I believe is also on the Epic Pass.
Stuart WinchesterHOST
Mm-hmm.
Stuart WinchesterHOST
So
Iain MartinGUEST
Verbier is in Switzerland, quite close to Chamonix.
Iain MartinGUEST
You can drive between Chamonix and Verbier in an hour and a quarter.
Iain MartinGUEST
Again, you'd fly into Geneva, really easy to get to from Geneva.
Iain MartinGUEST
You can actually get the train all the way from Geneva airport direct.
Andrew LownieGUEST
They both kind of got used to the high life.
Andrew LownieGUEST
Sarah MacNally, sorry, Sarah Ferguson through Paddy MacNally, who was a multimillionaire, had houses all over the world, a huge mansion, a wheelchair to be known by, Ian Fleming, a house in south of France, various chalets in Verbier.
Andrew LownieGUEST
And so she never really turned right after she met on a plane, after she met Paddy MacNally.
Andrew LownieGUEST
And she got used to that lifestyle and she always wanted more.
Tom BieGUEST
I'm not buying those trips, right? If I didn't have, like, if it wasn't the connection.
Tom BieGUEST
I even went over with Jack Shaw, who was, you know, he was skiing in Verbier.
Tom BieGUEST
It was a little different situation.
Tom BieGUEST
But he had guided and then left from there.
Ryan MaxwellGUEST
Yeah, I mean, it's just, first of all, it's just considerate in the sense that many people come to Switzerland and they always go to the same hotspots that you've always heard of.
Ryan MaxwellGUEST
It's whether it's the Zermatt's, the Verbier's or the places that are just Yeah, people know and have heard of.
Ryan MaxwellGUEST
I'd say first key point is just actually look outside of that because there's so many beautiful places out here that not many people know about that will give you an equal experience, if not better, without the over-tourism and without too many people or queues or waiting lists.
Ryan MaxwellGUEST
And then the other bit I would say is just explore those things that are kind of, again, somewhat outside of the ordinary.
Ken MacdonaldHOST
His father was a senior partner at Freshfields, the Magic Circle city firm, and he, slightly oddly, followed his father into that firm.
Ken MacdonaldHOST
I'm not suggesting he had got any sort of preferential treatment, but he was an associate... solicitor there and leading a normal sort of life until and this is I'm taking from the Financial Times because they did a long read on him coincidentally just before the Channel 4 story broke and it says this it's quite dramatic actually it was New Year's Day 2003 on a black run in the mountains above Verbier that James Orr had his religious awakening.
Ken MacdonaldHOST
He was 25 years old, a tall flaxen-haired and hungover from a raucous New Year's Eve party the night before.
Ken MacdonaldHOST
He and his sister were hurtling down a storm-ravaged gully in heavy cloud when he shouted at her to stop.
Ville Yli-LuomaGUEST
I'd like him to go on one of the trips.
Ville Yli-LuomaGUEST
We should sponsor him." And then I went to Verbier.
Ville Yli-LuomaGUEST
I can't remember what year it was.
Ville Yli-LuomaGUEST
I think I was 16.
Hillary AllenHOST
Mm-hmm.
Corinne MalcolmHOST
And there's, like, a random, like, Spartan race at Verbier this weekend.
Corinne MalcolmHOST
Like, there is so much going on in this, like, tiny window, post-UTMB, completely separately.
Hillary AllenHOST
Very cool.
Kev StockbridgeHOST
Okay, that's quite an exotic, you know, once in a lifetime thing.
Kev StockbridgeHOST
I've made the decision, it would appear, to go to Verbier for three months, to live there this winter and qualify as a snowboard instructor.
Kev StockbridgeHOST
That's a bit random.
Kev StockbridgeHOST
I've got some people approaching me to talk about the possibility of consulting work, which wasn't really in my game plan and wasn't looking to do that.
18 MINS LATER
Jo ParkerHOST
You actually start to hear what it sounds like.
Jo ParkerHOST
it stops being just noise in your head and becomes something you actually look at, which I suppose is what we're doing here, isn't it? Sorting it out.
Kev StockbridgeHOST
So I've done that, particularly for Verbier.
Kev StockbridgeHOST
And the more I tell people about that, the more connections that is building in the real world where people go, oh, yeah, no, I know so-and-so out there.
