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.

Skiing Alberta with Ski Independence
In this episode, we’re joined by Karen and Ross, two true experts on skiing in Alberta, from our headline sponsors, Ski Independence. Together, we explore why Alberta is a must-visit destination for ski lovers and families alike.
Key Highlights:
- Getting to Alberta:
Alberta is in Western Canada, near the British Columbia border. Direct flights from Heathrow to Calgary make it easy to access, with under two hours to Banff via car or shuttle. Hiring a car is optional, as shuttles are efficient and convenient. - Top Ski Resorts:
- Banff & Lake Louise: Linked via lift passes, offering expansive terrain and excellent snow conditions, with skiing possible well into May.
- Sunshine Village: Long season, spectacular views, and the chance to ski in optimal powder conditions.
- Jasper: Quieter, peaceful, and perfect for those seeking a more serene mountain experience.
- Travel & Scenery:
Driving along the Icefields Parkway to Jasper is highly recommended, with breathtaking landscapes and wildlife sightings. Alberta combines dramatic scenery with manageable travel distances between resorts. - Weather & Snow:
Alberta has dry cold temperatures, which preserve snow quality. Expect consistent snow conditions throughout the season, similar to the Alps but with fewer crowds. - Luxury & Accommodation:
- Fairmont Lake Louise & Fairmont Banff Springs: Iconic luxury stays with spa experiences and proximity to slopes.
- Jasper Park Lodge: Cabin-style accommodation set in nature for a serene and wildlife-rich stay.
- Banff Town Hotels: A range of 3–5 star options for all budgets, with modern facilities and boutique experiences.
- Family-Friendly Skiing:
Alberta is ideal for families, offering ski schools, flexible lift passes, and plenty of non-ski activities like wildlife tours, sleigh rides, and frozen waterfall walks. Kids can enjoy the mountains without the pressure to ski every day. - Tips & Experiences:
- Consider a triple-center stay: Banff Springs → Lake Louise → Jasper for a full Alberta adventure.
- Take advantage of early booking deals for the best value and availability.
- Local expertise enhances the trip—guides and locals offer insights on hidden gems and activities.
- Bucket List Destination:
Alberta is described as a must-see ski destination, combining luxury, adventure, nature, and wide-open slopes that cater to both families and serious skiers.
