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…

Watch this space!
Interesting fact:
Skied over a hundred resorts world wide - Europe, North America and Japan - and the list keeps getting longer…
Top ski trip recommendation:
Whistler comes out as my top resort all round (accommodation, bars/restaurants, village and skiing) but there are others out there that need to be skied. 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.

Revelstoke is the new kid on the block - this coming season it will have the largest vertical descent in North America and a 1000 acres of new intermediate terrain - it is new and has big plans for the future - go there soon and see and ski the newest ski resort in North America.
