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.
The Whiteout was a finalist for Best Broadcast Audio Programme at the 2025 Travel Media Awards.
Skiing will always be at the heart of The Whiteout, but the conversation increasingly goes further.
