Thank U Snowboarding Podcast - S1 EP9 - Coolbus Rob

If you’re reading this, there’s a pretty good chance you love snowboarding. We do too, so much so that we decided to make a podcast waxing poetic about it. Thank U Snowboarding is a celebration of the UK snowboard scene, a deep dive into its journey from ‘Ban This Killer Craze’ to the mainstream and a nostalgia-fuelled look back at the glory years. Each week we’ll sit down with an influential figure, exploring the past, present and future of the sport and remind ourselves why we leapt headfirst down the snowboarding rabbit hole in the first place.

For Episode 9, host Chris Cracknell gets into it with Coolbus Rob. Chatting about the early beginnings, learning to snowboard up in the rugged Scottish Highlands, to seasonaire-ing in the French Alps on £700 and living out the back of a Transit. Then starting his own successful transfer business Coolbus, delivering the punters to the snow in style, whilst giving many a seasonaire a great opportunity to earn some beer money.
