Skier... and beginner snowboarder!

Ski/ boarding history

After doing annual one-week ski trips in Europe as a teenager, I discovered Canada in my early 20s. Since then I've skied all over Canada the US and Japan and I'm now enjoying exploring other ski destinations around the world.

Favourite Ski Safari

The Rockies Loop Ski Safari will always be special for me as it was the first one I did and the inspiration for starting Ski Safari.

Best mountain moment

Getting the whole Ski Safari team into helicopters in Zermatt in March 2016 and doing the season's first descent of the Monte Rosa - just magical.

Next trip

I’m looking forward to exploring more of Norway… and I've always got my eye out for something adventurous, perhaps in British Columbia or Hokkaido.

Interesting fact

I got much needed, new ski boots in April - my last pair lasted 15 years!

Top ski trip recommendation

There are so many interesting ways to do a ski holiday - I'd recommend any trip that allows you to get out and ski and see somewhere new.

It had been a while since my friend Steve and I had skied in Utah (10 years for me, more like 20 for him) so back we went… and boy were we pleased we did!

Richard has been skiing a long time, but his technique is far from perfect. So he still tries to have a lesson, or do a ski clinic, whenever he can.
