Part 2 is here! with Jim Hemmingway, Head of Rentals at NZG Ski — and if you caught Part 1, you’ll know Jim brings a huge amount of knowledge and experience from the snow sports industry. ❄️

In this episode, we dive straight into why understanding equipment is so important. The right gear plays a massive role in how people learn, progress, and ultimately enjoy their time on the mountain. Jim breaks down what equipment works best for beginners, how ski systems have evolved over the years, and what really makes a difference when fitting out guests for success.

We also go behind the scenes of rental operations, what it actually takes to service thousands of skis and snowboards in a short window of time, and how that impacts the overall guest experience.

Thanks for your patience while we’ve been busy. We’re excited to be back recording and bringing you more episodes like this. Enjoy!

In this episode, Alec sits down with long-time mate Jim Hemmingway, Head of Rentals at NZSki, for a deep dive into the often-overlooked world of rental gear and why it's absolutely essential for snowsports instructors to understand what their students are riding.

Recorded at the start of the 2025 winter season in Queenstown, New Zealand, the episode kicks off with a warm catch-up before exploring Jim’s journey from his early days snowboarding in the UK and working at Snow and Rock back in 2002, to moving to NZ and carving his path through the industry.

Jim shares the challenges, triumphs, and behind-the-scenes realities of running one of the busiest rental operations in the Southern Hemisphere, and how his role has evolved into Inventory Manager at NZSki. We also start to unpack the impact of the COVID season and how the gear game has changed.

Whether you're a seasoned instructor or just passionate about the snow industry, this episode is full of insight, experience, and stoke for the mountains.
