This week I travelled to Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains in the Chamonix Valley to interview Derek Tate, the Chairman of the Irish Association of Snowsports Instructors (IASI) and Director of the British Alpine Ski School (BASS) in the Chamonix Valley. The Irish created quite an impression this year at Interski and this was down to Derek and his team's hard work and innovative ideas. We talk extensively about Interski and what came out of it this time around, teaching in the Chamonix Valley, developing flow, dogs and much more.
