119. Up-lift-ing Conversations

This week, Rob takes to the mountains - not just for the skiing, but for something far less expected… the conversations.Broadcasting from Val Thorens, the highest ski resort in Europe, this episode explores the strange, fleeting intimacy of the ski lift - those suspended moments where you’re placed beside someone with nowhere to go and nothing to do but talk.From chance encounters to surprisingly honest exchanges, Rob captures a series of conversations high above the snow - moments of humour, reflection, connection and the occasional curveball - all shaped by the unique rhythm of the lift. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful parts of sport don’t happen in the action, but in the pauses in between.As winter begins to give way to spring, Rob also looks ahead to a new sporting season back home - from marathon runners taking to the streets to the first sounds of cricket on village greens - and reflects on how sport, like the seasons, is always in motion.A love letter to altitude, stillness, and the unexpected conversations that happen when you’re hanging in the air… waiting to come back down.Like, follow and subscribe! @StageDoorAthletic#RobShawCameron #JackLoxton #StageDoorAthletic #SportsPodcast #SportAndCulture #HumanConnection #TravelPodcast #OutdoorLife #StorytellingPodcast#SpringSport #FromTheMountains #SkiLiftStories #SkiLiftConversations #MountainMoments #SkiLife #AprèsSki #ValThorens #AlpsLife #ChairliftChats #LiftTalk Hosts: Jack Loxton & Rob Shaw CameronEdited by: Rob Shaw Cameron@jackloxton1 @robshawcameronStage Door Athletic is a [NON]FICTION PEOPLE Podcast © [NON]FICTION PEOPLE LtdPRS Licence: LC-002182Visit our website for more information on this and other great podcasts.Published by RiversideFMSki Lift (feat.
