Is Skiing The New Golf With Snow Camps Europe and SIA Austria In this podcast, we ask. Is Skiing The New Golf With Snow Camps Europe and SIA Austria? There are many similarities between skiing and golf we talk over our thoughts on whether skiing is the new golf. In golf, we see equipment that claims to make you a better player by enabling you to drive the ball further in skiing we have skis that mean you're able to make the perfect turn. One thing for sure that is different is golfers will train on the driving range but and take lessons from a golf pro even though they have been playing for many years the same is not typical in skiing as once people can make a basic turn they give up on lessons and never get to progress. So is skiing the new golf?

In this first podcast, we talk about the effects on ski schools and course providers due to the impact of COVID and address the outbreak of COVID that hit the news from Jochberg back in Janury 2021.
