    27.02.2026 | 30 Min.
    Drop us a message with any questions you may have :)
    The human side of Crystal — insight, passion, expertise and the decisions customers don’t usually see.
    This Episode was recorded around four core questions:
    What are your hidden gems?
    What do you wish more customers knew?
    Where’s the best value without compromise?
    What shouldn’t customers miss this winter?
    2. Hidden gems – Crystal team favourites
    Crystal colleagues share the resorts they genuinely love and return to.  Resorts offering: Better value, Fewer crowds, Access to big ski areas, More character and authenticity
    Brides-les-Bains – Three Valleys access with spa-town value and calm evenings
    Châtel – Authentic Savoyard village with tree-lined skiing and family appeal
    Montalbert – Quiet, charming base with easy access to La Plagne
    Vaujany – Peaceful village with fast links into Alpe d’Huez terrain
    Leogang – Small, quiet base plugged into a huge Austrian ski area
    Galtür – Traditional Tyrolean charm with access to the wider Silvretta area
    Serfaus–Fiss–Ladis – One of Austria’s strongest family ski regions
    Folgarida – Relaxed base with access to the Campiglio ski area
    Santa Cristina (Val Gardena) – Authentic village in the heart of Dolomiti Superski
    Pila – Quiet, family-friendly skiing with easy access and good snow reliability
    Key message:
    These resorts often deliver big-area skiing without the big-area stress
    3. Satellite resorts – the smart choices Crystal loves
    What a satellite resort is: Just outside headline resorts, Same lift system, same terrain.
    Why Crystal advisers recommend them:
    Better prices
    Shorter queues
    Easier availability
    More relaxed atmosphere
    Crystal insight:“People book the name, but miss the value next door”

    4. Best value without compromise
    Andorra consistently rated highly by Crystal staff
    Why: Extensive terrain, Modern lift systems, Excellent ski schools, Good food and après, Straightforward logistics - It’s smart, smooth, high-quality skiing
    5. What Crystal wishes more customers knew
    Don’t dismiss lower-altitude resorts:
    Often closer to airports
    Better value
    Great for families
    Well-linked to major ski domains
    Example:Morzine base → Avoriaz → Portes du Soleil access

    Reassurance:Crystal’s Snow Promise
    Customer-first approach if conditions aren’t right

    6. Expert knowledge – rapid-fire insights
    Things Crystal advisers want skiers to hear more often:
    “Book earlier than you think.”
    “Satellite resorts are game-changing.”
    “Transfers matter more than people realise.”
    “Don’t rule out lesser-known resorts.”
    “Ask us questions — that’s what we’re here for.”

    E86 Olympics Special with TNT Commentator Charlie Guest and Eddie The Eagle Edwards

    25.02.2026 | 1 Std. 2 Min.
    Drop us a message with any questions you may have :)
    Winter Olympics Special - sponsored by Crystal Ski Holidays
    In this week’s special Winter Olympics episode, we’ve got an absolute cracker.
    We’re joined by TNT Sports presenter and former Olympian Charlie Guest, who shares what she loved most about the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, what it was really like being there on the ground, and which British athletes we should be watching as the next generation builds momentum. From historic breakthroughs to near misses, she gives us her expert take on the future of Team GB on snow and ice.
    We also sit down with the one and only Eddie the Eagle Edwards. Eddie talks candidly about what it really takes to become an Olympic ski jumper, how different the pathway looks today compared to his era, and why he doesn’t actually follow the sport as closely anymore. As always, he brings honesty, perspective and a few laughs along the way.
    And of course, we dive into the stories that made these Games unforgettable. From 52 year old Austrian snowboarders defying age, to political controversy on the slopes, broken Olympic medals, funky skeleton helmets being banned, weather chaos, viral suit reveals, backflips in figure skating, and even a rogue wolfdog called Nazgul interrupting cross country racing. Yes, really.
    We touch on Team GB’s historic snowboard cross gold, the big winners and heartbreak stories, and the bizarre off piste drama that included public confessions and that ski jumping controversy everyone was talking about.
    It’s insight, opinion, drama and plenty of weird and wonderful Olympic moments — so let’s get stuck in.

    Olympics 2026: GB Reality Check
    Key theme: not a medal-table pod, but what counts as a good GB result. Milano-Cortina runs 6–22 Feb 2026.
    GB’s strongest medal potential is in snowboard slopestyle/big air, snowboard cross, and freeski halfpipe/park. Highlight the main names: Mia Brookes (real podium/medal chance), Charlotte Bankes (top medal route), Zoe Atkin (podium possible), plus Txema Mazet-Brown, Kirsty Muir, and Gus Kenworthy as strong finals/top-10 prospects.
    In alpine, success is measured differently: clean runs, second runs, top-20/top-15 results. Mention Dave Ryding, Laurie Taylor, and Billy Major.
    Cross-Country + Biathlon
    Cross-country in Tesero: Andrew Musgrave, James Clugnet, Joe Davies, Anna Pryce. Targets are PBs and strong finishes.
    Biathlon in Antholz: Jacques Jefferies and Shawna Pendry, focus on clean shooting and experience.
    Crystal Feature: Ski Train Holidays
    Crystal’s ski train option is a fun alternative to flying: relaxed travel, café onboard, generous luggage and ski carriage. Routes from London via Paris or Lille to Tarentaise resorts. Mention booking from July and flag a deal example.
