Ski history
I first skied when I was 11 and went on a few holidays with my family after that. My love for skiing was really born when I was 18 and decided not to go to uni and got my ski instructor and ski patrol qualifications instead, from then on I was hooked! I worked for 2 winters at Panorama as a ski instructor. I also moved to New Zealand and did a winter season in Queenstown.
Favourite Ski Safari
Whistler's somewhere I'd love to visit, so combining that with a trip to Canada's capital on the Vancouver Island Ski Safari would be amazing.
Best Mountain Moment
Heli skiing in Panorama was definitely a day to remember. The backcountry options are phenomenal and the vertical drops are incredible.
Last resort visited
I last skied in New Zealand. I can confirm the snow is not great.
Next trip
Nothing set in stone yet, but would love to ski Whistler
Interesting fact
One of my first ever lessons my student cried on the magic carpet and I had to carry her skis down whilst she walked…she was 32.
Top ski tip recommendation
Don’t tuck your thermals into your ski boots, you can get really bad bruising! (I learned the hard way)
