<div>Today we find out about ‘Going East’ – a new ski film from Arc'teryx – which sees a team of four skiers make their way to ski in Italy, Austria, then Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey<strong> </strong>– all by public transport with not a single flight!<strong> <br> </strong><br> In total they took 35 trains, 24 buses, 7 metro, 2 trams and spend over 140 hours travelling. They had to deal with language differences, connections and passport checks in the middle of the night. At one point they lost one member of their team completely!<br> <br> Yet, when you listen to our conversation, you’ll find out why they think "the journey was as important as the skiing itself" and why they’d do it again. <br> <br> Host Iain Martin was joined by Silvia Moser and Joi Hoffman, two of the athletes who made the film. <br> <br> <strong>Intersport Ski Hire Discount Code</strong><br> Use the code ‘SKIPODCAST’ at <a href="http://intersportrent.com">intersportrent.com</a> or simply <a href="https://www.intersportrent.com/skirent?partid=f47aea1aa40943b6b52efcf58f0be09e">take this link</a> for your discount to be automatically applied. <br> <br> <strong>SHOW NOTES<br> </strong><br> Win a pair of <a href="https://www.vallon.com/en-gb/products/watchtowers">Watchtower sunnies</a> from Vallon – simply leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or write a comment on Spotify or Instagram (1:15)<br> Vallon’s <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.vallon.com/&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw3xTBuULPeF3BZuSvMZUY2c">End of Season Ski Sale</a> is on now with 25-35% off (1:30)<br> Silvia is based in Cortina, Italy (2:30)<br> Iain travelled by <a href="https://skiflightfree.org/case-study-uk-to-selva-val-gardena-by-train/">train back from Selva Val Gardena</a> (3:15)<br> Joi is based in Innsbruck, Austria (4:30)<br> Watch <a href="https://blog.arcteryx.com/film-archive/going-east/">'Going East'</a> – the new film from Arc'teryx (5:00)<br> The journey involved taking 35 trains, 24 buses, 7 metro, 2 trams and 140 hours of travelling (8:30)<br> The team used <a href="https://www.raileurope.com/en/destinations/passes/european-rail-passes">Interrail tickets</a> for their train travel (9:15)<br> How did you carry so much camera kit?
