As the snow turns to slush and the mountain bikers start reclaiming the trails from the skiers, the crew retreats to the log cabin for one last winter debrief. This episode is a wild ride from the high seas to the factory floor. We dive into a legendary "mega-yacht" story involving Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston, and some extremely expensive wine, before descending into the dark pits of our collective employment history. From checking "slits" in a cardboard factory to turning a lid-cutting warehouse into a ninja star arena, we’re celebrating the end of the season by remembering the jobs that made us who we are (and made us never want to go back). Plus, we look ahead to our massive live event at the Tamworth Snowdome with guests Jonno Verity and DJ BBQ.

Grab a cold one and kick off your boots! In this high-altitude episode of The Apres, we’re coming to you live-ish from the sun deck in Val Thorens. Tim and Jenny have been getting stuck into the festivities at the AJ Bell Three Valley Rally, all in the name of the incredible charity, Snow-Camp. Between Tim getting caught snoozing on a balcony and Jenny demonstrating some "flexible" drinking techniques with a bottle of Jägermeister, the team dives into the gritty reality of spring riding. We’re talking "porridge" snow, navigating whiteouts using secret pole codes, and the absolute chaos of renting a car on the "wrong side" of the French-Swiss border. Plus, Tim finally fixes a binding issue he’s had for six months, and Ollie calls out the world's most questionable height claim. It’s fast, it’s slushy, and it’s full of "Liquid Sunshine." Let’s get stuck in! ⛷️🔥 00:00 - Introduction & Jägermeister Shenanigans 🥃 Jenny explains the "bottle on the floor" game involving splits and zero hands. 02:12 - Balcony Naps & Liquid Sunshine ☀️ Tim gets caught doing "business calls" (sleeping) while the party rages below in Val Thorens. 03:15 - Riding in "Porridge" & Whiteouts 🥣 The team discusses the brutal spring conditions where you can't turn—you just point and pray. 04:52 - Pro Tip: Color-Coded Piste Poles 🚩 A life-saving revelation on how to use yellow pole caps to stay on the piste during a whiteout. 06:58 - Snow-Camp: Changing Lives 💙 An inside look at how Snow-Camp helps inner-city young people find careers in the snow sports industry. 10:10 - Tim’s Midlife Crisis Haircut 💇‍♂️ Tim debuts his new crew cut and discusses the "midlife crisis" vibes of the rally. 11:58 - The Geneva Airport Nightmare ✈️ Passport control chaos and the ultimate fail of renting a "French car" in a Swiss airport. 15:06 - Bindings & The "9-Year-Old" Stance 🏂 Tim admits to riding with loose bindings for months and setting his stance up like a child. 18:25 - The Great 6’2” Height Debate 📏 Tim claims he’s over 6 feet tall; Ollie and the rest of the world strongly disagree. 21:10 - Tamlands Live & Easter Eggs 🐣 A look ahead to the live podcast at Snowdome Tamworth on the 28th.

Welcome back to the chalet! In this week's episode of The Apres, the gang is split between the UK and the Austrian Alps, and things get weird almost immediately. From accidental cosmetic "enhancements" to the dark side of plastic surgery, we’re covering it all before hitting the slopes. In This Episode: The "Botox" Incident: Jenny arrives with a suspiciously plump pout, but it’s not a procedure—it’s a high-stakes encounter with a stepdaughter’s "tingling" red lip oil. Tim’s Austrian Odyssey: Tim checks in from Obertauern, reporting live on the return of winter. He’s been carving through the powder in Obergurgl and Hochgurgl, taking in the 3,000m views of Italy and living his best "business class" ski life. The Commentator’s Curse: We revisit the viral clip of Tim’s daughter, Wren, taking a spectacular tumble in the snowpark while Tim—ever the professional—continues to commentate the "crash" instead of rushing to the rescue. Cadaver... What?: Ollie drops some truly horrifying knowledge about the latest trends in cosmetic surgery involving "donated" tissue. Let’s just say Jenny is sticking to her lip oil. Listener Mailbag: * We settle a score on name pronunciations (sorry, Kim!). We meet Penny Bennett, the 39-year-old beginner who proves you’re never too old to get obsessed with snowboarding and Scotty James. Adam from Winchester steps up with a legendary offer: a Burton Custom X for Tim, provided he can actually ride a board that stiff. 🚨 THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 Join us for the World’s First Official Apres In-Person Record-Along and Ride-Along! Where: Tamworth Snowdome When: Tuesday, April 28th The Deal: Come shred with Tim, Jenny, and Ollie followed by a live podcast recording.

We’re back, and the energy is as high as the price of mountain chips. This week, we kick things off with Ollie’s mid-life-crisis-in-reverse: a 2016 Citroën C4 Picasso. It has multiple cup holders, flat-folding seats for B&Q runs, and apparently, the "sound of dreams." We also settle (or fail to settle) the age-old debate: Is AdBlue actually pig urine? Beyond the garage talk, we have the biggest announcement in the show’s history and a deep dive into the recent madness in Flachau. In this episode: Ollie’s New Whip: 1.6L of raw BlueHDi power. Ollie defends his new Picasso, while Jenny and Tim try to figure out if it's a car or a very small bus. The AdBlue Truth: We go deep on diesel additives. Is it a conspiracy? Is it livestock waste? Does Jenny’s Transporter even care? TAMWORTH LIVE! The big reveal. We’re taking the show to the Tamworth Snowdome on Tuesday, April 28th. We’re recording live from 6-7 PM, then hitting the slope for a massive ride-along from 7-10 PM. The Code: Use THEAPRES (all caps) for 15% off your slope tickets for the night. Spring Battle & Mia Brookes: Ollie recaps the absolute scenes at Absolute Park. We talk FPV drones, "claiming a run," and why Ollie is personally offended by the BBC’s choice of photography for Mia’s World Cup win. Apres Nostalgia: Jenny returns from a star-studded (and fur-lined) week in Courchevel. We talk St. Paddy’s Day, the legendary band Bring Your Sisters, and Ollie’s 2008 first-kiss revelation. The Fish Vest: Tim explains how to survive the resort food prices by looking like a local angler.

What a week! The chalet is officially crowded as we finally welcome a proper guest into the mix. And not just any guest—we’ve got actual Olympic royalty in the building. Fresh from her historic gold in Milano-Cortina 2026, Charlotte Bankes joins Tim, Jenny, and Ollie to talk wax, wins, and why the British team might just have the edge over the French when it comes to athlete support. Paralympic Heroes: We recap an emotional week on the boardercross course. We talk about the legend that is Davie Gieve, who defied a motor neurone disease diagnosis to compete seven years later, and Ollie Hill, who unfortunately sat out after a brutal crash during course testing. Natural Selection Tour: As the tour goes live, we break down the "Sessions" format across Japan, Utah, and Revelstoke. Plus, a massive shout-out to Yuka Fujimori for taking the win in the all-women’s R&D back-country contest. The Science of Speed: Charlotte lets us in on the world of high-stakes waxing. What exactly is "storage wax"? Does "travel wax" actually exist? And how much does a wizard like JP (her wax tech) really help when you're hunting for those fractions of a second? Beyond the Snow: It turns out Charlotte isn't just fast on a board; she’s a demon on the water too. We dive into her love for sailing Musto Skiffs and single-handed 29ers. Tim’s "Snip" Story: We wrap things up with a classic Tim Warwood tale involving a vasectomy, the Commonwealth Games, and a nurse who definitely recognized him from the telly. Links and other bits Natural Selection Tour: Catch the live action and replays on their YouTube Channel or official website. Spring Battle Flachau: Tim is heading out to Flachau next week for Spring Battle. Check out the event details at absolute-park.com.

It’s just Tim and Ollie in the hot seat this week as Jenny takes a well-earned break from the BBC. Things get a bit "lads-lads-lads" as the boys dive into Paralympic prep, billionaire-slapping fantasies, and the eye-watering cost of airplane "duct tape". From Kaishu Hirano’s gravity-defying 25ft half-pipe air to the mystery of why Tui makes it so hard to book a board bag, this episode is packed tighter than a suitcase on a budget airline. The Paralympic Deep Dive: Tim is heading to Cardiff to commentate on the Paralympic Snowboard Men’s Upper Limb category. He’s currently drowning in spreadsheets trying to tell his Lower Limb 1s from his Lower Limb 2s. The Billionaire Slap-Off: If you could open-hand slap one billionaire, who would it be? The boys weigh up Elon Musk vs. Jeff Bezos, but James Dyson takes the heat for those ear-splitting hand dryers that spray your trousers. The 25ft Club: Discussing Kaishu Hirano’s legendary jump at the LAAX Open—25 feet above the lip!. That’s literally the height of the eaves on your house. The £6k Roll of Tape: Ever see tape on an airplane wing and panic? It’s actually "Speed Tape," and it costs a staggering £6,805 per roll. Tui Troubles & Listener Tips: Ollie is off to Austria for Spring Battle, but booking his board bag on a Tui flight has been a nightmare. The consensus from the listeners? "Just ring them up". Scotland’s Shifting Snow: Shout out to the scene in the Cairngorms and the upcoming sessions with Jamie Nicholls and Ben Kilner. Email the Show: [email protected] The Après Instagram: Follow for the "viral" Tui rants and more. Swiss Air: Mentioned for their free board bag policy—and no, the "APRE" promo code for free champagne probably won't work, but it’s worth a shot. Tui: For those brave enough to try and book sports equipment online. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode, the gang (mostly) gets back together—if we can keep Jenny's laptop from dying! We dive deep into the high-stakes world of childhood hoarding, celebrity Instagram follows, and what it’s like to look at Earth from the dark side of the moon. Highlights include: The Sticker Heist: Tim shares his "banging" snowboard sticker collection and the tragic moment his partner, Lucy, replaced his stickers with pastry supplies. Nostalgia Trip: Remembering the glory days of sending stamped addressed envelopes to skate shops just to get a few fresh decals. The Big Reveal: Tim has officially completed life. Find out which legendary British astronaut just gave him a follow on the 'gram (Hint: It’s Tim Peake). Paralympic Preview: We shout out the incredible athletes heading to the Paralympics next weekend, including Nina Sparks, Matt Hamilton, and Davey—the first person with MND to compete in the games. The Ultimate Space Playlist: If you were drifting behind the moon with no contact with Earth, would you listen to Tool, Hans Zimmer, or David Bowie?. The Bombardino: A listener question takes us to the slopes of Italy to discuss this legendary egg-custard-and-brandy concoction.

Tim and Jenny are live (and surprisingly still alive) from the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy! While Ollie is back home navigating the treacherous waters of "nursery dad nights" and Cornish rain, the duo in the Alps are dodging avalanches and accidental fame. This episode is a deep dive into the high-octane world of Olympic snowboarding and skiing, featuring everything from heartbreaking near-misses to historic British gold. PSA: Stay Safe! 🏔️ A serious note on the gnarly Alpine conditions—90 avalanche deaths this season is no joke. Tim and Jenny give the "stay alive" talk before the fun starts. The BBC "Blackout" explained: Ever wonder why you missed Mia Brooks' qualifying run? Tim breaks down the BBC’s "two-stream" dilemma and the agony of watching Mia’s fall live while pretending to be professional on camera. Kirsty Muir is a Boss: Two 4th place finishes might be the "worst" result, but Kirsty skied her socks off. We talk about her incredible comeback from surgery and why she’s the "skier's skier". GOLD FOR TEAM GB! 🥇 The absolute highlight: Hugh Nightingale and Charlotte Banks crushing the Mixed Team Boarder Cross. Jenny shares the behind-the-scenes "well of doom" interview and the epic redemption arc after their singles disappointment. Hair Braiding & "Commentary Juice": Tim reveals his secret talent for blow-drying hair that’s destroying his wife’s confidence, and the team introduces their post-work beverage of choice (Don't tell the bosses!). Tim’s New Followers: 15,000+ and counting. Is he the new Ben Shepherd? Probably. Bum Bruises: 1 (Poor Timmy’s tailbone vs. a poma lift). Commentary Juice: Strictly consumed after the P45-risk hours. Coming Up Next: The Halfpipe finals are under the lights on Saturday! Get your "telly boxes" ready for Zoe Atkin. We’ll be back once the team crawls home on their hands and knees from the closing celebrations. What’s In The Mix?The "Broccoli" Count Note: Our show notes are written by Ai.

Mia and Kirsty Muir may have missed out on medals with their fourth-place finishes on "Mental Medal Monday," but the level of riding was nothing short of legendary. This episode of The Apres dives into the high-stakes pressure of the Olympic finals, from the "broken flow" of a course plagued by poorly placed tunnels to Mia Brookes’ death-defying decision to huck a 1620 when she was "bricking it" at the top of the run. We break down the technicality of the Big Air finals, the historic rise of Japanese snowboarding, and why even the world's best qualifiers sometimes struggle to convert that top spot into gold. Beyond the slopes, we’re catching up on the "rowdy" atmosphere in Livigno as the British fans take over the high street. Jenny shares her awkward run-in with snowboard cross royalty, and we answer your burning questions—including the truth about Olympic twins and whether those annoying camera drones are actually flown by robots. Whether you're here for the "steeze," the stats, or just to hear about Scotty James’ love for Love Actually, grab a drink and join the conversation. We love hearing from you!
