Skier or snowboarder:
Most definitely a skier...
Favourite resort:
All and any on a powder day!!!!!
Best mountain moment:
Heli-skiing Whistler 2006 - 3 of the best runs of my life!!!!
Ski/ boarding history:
I lived the dream and spent years doing ski seasons - 11 in total - if you can't ski after that then there is something wrong - over 1500 ski days total so far!!!! Still get over 30 days a season on snow…
Resorts visited in 09/10:
Jasper, Whistler, Lake Louise, Kicking Horse, Revelstoke, Sunshine, Fernie, Panorama, Villars.
Next trip:
Watch this space!
Interesting fact:
This summer I will be taking part in South Downs Way in a Day - 100 miles of offroad cycling from Winchester to Eastbourne. Keep you posted..
Top ski trip recommendation:
Whistler still has the top spot and overall comes out as my top all round resort (accommodation, bars/restaurants, village and skiing) - you just cannot beat it.
The Rockies Loop is one of my top Ski Safari trips - choose from 10 resorts (there is even one in the States that can be added in the mix - Whitefish, Montana). The more time you have the more resorts you can ski.
We are introducing a new Safari into the mix - The Ultimate Canadian Powder Hunt - it will take in Kicking Horse - Revelstoke - Red - Fernie. You will cover a fair few miles but get to ski a minimum four of the most renowned powder spots in Canada. The more time you have the more resorts we can add in - but you will need a minimum of 14 nights to do the trip justice......
