The Whiteout Skiing Podcast
The Whiteout Skiing Podcast – Ski · Travel · Adventure
The Whiteout Skiing Podcast is the UK's No.1 ski podcast, covering ski holidays, ski resorts, snow conditions, ski gear and the biggest stories from the mountains.
Presented by Dom Killinger from InTheSnow and ski journalist Rob Stewart, two mad passionate skiers who've somehow managed to scrape a living by skiing, The Whiteout Skiing Podcast combines expert ski knowledge with the conversations skiers actually have.
Where's the snow? Which ski resorts are worth visiting? What ski gear is worth buying? Where should you ski next? And what are the big stories everyone's talking about?
Expect regular snow reports from the Alps, North America and beyond, destination advice, resort reviews, ski travel, new gear and technology, ski racing, mountain news and plenty of opinion.
We also tackle the questions that get skiers talking: Has skiing become too expensive? Can you still ski for £1,000? Are huge ski areas actually worth it? Is a £700 ski jacket really worth £700? And where is the best ski resort in the world?
Guests have included Lindsey Vonn, Bode Miller and Eddie the Eagle, alongside ski racers, athletes, adventurers, resort insiders, equipment experts and some of the most interesting personalities in the mountains.
Behind The Whiteout is InTheSnow, the UK's largest ski and mountain travel media platform, with 20 years of experience covering skiing and an audience of more than one million skiers each week across print, digital, social, email, YouTube and podcast.

In this episode, Dom and Rob dive into the legendary Arlberg region in Austria, famous for its world-class skiing and rich history. The Arlberg is home to iconic resorts like St. Anton, Lech, Zürs, St. Christoph, and Stuben, offering something for every skier.
Location & Access:
- Situated in Western Austria, where Tyrol and Vorarlberg meet, the Arlberg is easily accessible from airports in Innsbruck, Zurich, and Munich. The Arlberg Express shuttle connects directly to the region.
Snow & Skiing History:
- The Arlberg gets an impressive 9 meters of snow annually, thanks to its high altitude and northern-facing slopes.
- The region is legendary for ski history, with Hannes Schneider founding Austria’s first ski school in St. Anton in 1921 and introducing the first ski lift in Zürs in 1937.
Ski Area & Terrain:
- Ski Arlberg is Austria’s largest ski area, with over 300 km of groomed slopes and 200 km of freeride terrain across all five resorts. Whether you're a beginner or advanced skier, there's terrain for all levels.
Resort Highlights:
- St. Anton: Known for its après-ski, lively nightlife, and extreme terrain. Must-visit après spots include MooserWirt. The resort is a freeride mecca, with challenging runs and deep powder.
- St. Christoph: A quieter, more exclusive option, ideal for those seeking a luxurious, private experience. The Hospiz hotel is a historic gem in the area.
- Lech & Zürs: Lech is renowned for its high-end, refined atmosphere, offering wide, sunny slopes, gourmet dining, and top-tier shopping. Zürs is quieter and more upscale, with luxury chalets and fine dining. Both are perfect for those looking for a more laid-back and luxurious experience.
Dining & Après-Ski:
- The Arlberg is famous for its dining, with Michelin-starred restaurants like Restaurant Schwärzler and Rote Wand. For a rustic mountain experience, try Trittalm or Zürserhof. Après-ski varies, with St. Anton being the wildest, while Lech and Zürs offer more relaxed, sophisticated après spots like Schneggarei and Hotel Arlberg’s Lounge.
Best Time to Visit:
- Prime season is from January to March, but early December and April offer quieter options. The region’s snow retention ensures good conditions late into the season.
Other Activities:
- The Arlberg is also great for non-skiing activities like snowshoeing, winter hiking, cross-country skiing, and ice skating.
Whether you're hitting the famous slopes of St. Anton, enjoying the refined charm of Lech, or exploring the freeride paradise of Zürs, the Arlberg offers an unforgettable ski holiday experience.
