GIRLS ON THE PISTE PODCAST
Welcome to Girls On The Piste, your weekly ski fix with Emma Woodward and Bella Syme. Along with a special guest each week, the girls discuss everything in the ski world - from the latest ski news and rumours, to new hotels or chalets they love, to après-ski, food, fashion and fitness with guests including professional skiers, ski journalists, explorers, partners in the travel industry and more. Bella lived in Verbier for over a decade coaching freeride and is off-piste obsessed. She founded ALS Ski in 2013 - a travel and concierge company organising incredible ski experiences and events. Emma has worked in the travel and mainly ski industry for most of her career, and lived in Val d'Isere and Verbier working in some of the top chalets in the world. They both now look after a number of the wealthiest and most demanding public figures, fulfilling wildly challenging and exciting travel requests throughout the Alps and beyond.
