Your Mum said...

Alright shredders, grab a drink and settle in! Ollie and Tim are back (minus Jenny, who is definitely not dead this time, just famous and busy... probably). This week, the lads tackle: * The Universal Truth: Why does your mum always tell you that you look tired? Is there a more derailing comment known to humankind? * Influencers on Mud: Ollie kicks things off with a rant about ski influencers grinding down rocky, snowless slopes. Tim gets genuinely angry. Are they cool? (Spoiler: No). Is it like fingernails on a blackboard? (Spoiler: Yes). * Mayrhofen Musings: Tim's been hitting the surprisingly good snow in Mayrhofen and shares tales of: * The daredevil Penkenbahn lift – and the legendary (maybe?) story of why it has a bend in it (hint: it involves a bar). * Developing a sudden fear of chairlifts – sweaty palms included! * The slightly terrifying "call of the void" high above the ground. * Need for (Sideways) Speed: Tim straps on his board, points it downhill sideways, and clocks a frankly ludicrous 40.2 mph on his heel edge. Were his legs okay? Did anyone else witness this madness? * The Mayrhofen Birthday Curse: Is April 8th in Mayrhofen cursed for Tim's mate Gendle? Hear the tale of three birthdays, three injuries. Ouch. * NEWS TIME! * The Brits are BACK! A recap of the British Ski & Snowboard Champs returning to Mayrhofen after 6 years. Big up the organisers! * Meet Riley Sharp: The 10-YEAR-OLD prodigy who swept the slope style, big air, and rail jam titles. What's his coach's secret? (Maybe lawnmowers?). * Gutting News: Charlotte Banks' season ends early with a broken collarbone. Heal up fast, Charlotte! * World Champs Wrap: Quick thoughts on the World Champs, Jenny's apparently quite good commentary (don't tell her we said that), and Mia Brookes' awesome season. * MUST WATCH: Cody Bramble absolutely sent it at the Freeride World Tour final on the Bec des Rosses. Backflips in no-fall zones? Yes please. Link to watch Cody's insane run: CODY: https://www.freerideworldtour.com/news-videos/cody-bramwell-snowboard-men-winning-run-2025-yeti-xtreme-verbier-by-honda/ * Late Season Shredding: Thinking of squeezing in one last trip? The glaciers are calling, and Tim reckons the snow could be good well into May. Stay tuned for tips next week! * URGENT PSA - APPLE PODCASTS: If you listen on Apple, PLEASE RESUBSCRIBE! Ollie did something clever (or possibly disastrous) and all our lovely reviews got deleted. Leave us a new one! Pretty please? Get In Touch! We want your mountain stories, especially the ones mocking Ollie. * Email: [email protected] * Insta: @theaprespod Subscribe, leave that (new) review, and tell your mates!
