My time spent in Austria as a child on family ski holidays ignited my passion for the mountains. When I said to my brother early on that I wanted to be a ski instructor, he scoffed at this and said that I couldn't make a living from it. Since leaving uni I slipped back into where my heart lay and have been working on and off in the Snowsport's industry ever since. I started working as a ‘Pisteur Secouriste’ in France in 2007, later aided by my beautiful furry pal, Fjord the flat coated retriever, trained and qualified in Avalanche SAR. No longer with us he remains in the hearts of many having been such an incredible soul, and now lives on in my children's book 'Fjord's Mountain Mission'.

I'm a powder hound, 'scuse the pun, but equally I love sliding off into the backcountry to ski tour in the folds of nature's arms. I really enjoy being with others who are keen to share the mountain experience and at the same time respect this unique environment. Maybe see you one day à bientôt!
