11 - Jonathan Ballou, Aspen Ski School, PSIA

Welcome to episode 11 from the very snowy Swiss Alps.

It's snowy here also in the Western end of the alps and the temperatures are cold. Hopefully this means a good and early start to the season.

This week I have a short interview with Jon Ballou, the Boss of The Aspen Ski School. That's the title I hear in my head anyway but actually, his full title is Managing Director, Ski and Snowboard Schools, Aspen Skiing Company. You can find out more about what that all means when you listen to the episode.

We talk about managing such a large operation, teaching trends and a bit of tech. No podcast with Jon would be complete without a bit of chat about the movie Aspen Extreme too.

You can find Jon on facebook as Jonathan Ballou or on his youtube channel of the same name.
