A Ski Safari Relic

This year I'm celebrating my 20 year anniversary at Ski Safari.

Skier or snowboarder

Skier.

Ski/ boarding history

I've been in the ski industry since 1990, worked seven seasons in Italy, and joined Ski Safari in 2003.

Favourite Ski Safari

Vancouver Island Ski Safari for the contrast between mountain resort, vibrant city and wild coastline.

Best mountain moment

Skiing with my kids in Whistler April 2010, which was their first trip.

Last resorts visited

Panorama, Banff and Whistler at Easter 2023. Canada is a fantastic country to ski in and I always go back for more whenever I get the opportunity.

Next trip

Somewhere with the kids at Christmas, but yet to be decided. I'm leaning towards Trysil, Norway as it's a top destination for families and very convenient.

Interesting fact

I qualified as a biochemist before getting into the ski industry.  Never touched a test-tube again! 

Top ski trip recommendation

Anywhere late season - no queues, good snow and plenty of sunshine!
