Derek Lightfoot

As a semi-retired IT professional I now have plenty of time for skiing in my favourite areas close to my home in Verona Italy. The magical Dolomiti region is within 2.5 hours drive, and other world-class skiing areas such as the 3 valleys, Espace Killy and Ski Amadè are all reachable within an easy drive. Having experienced the addictive adrenalin buzz of competitive motor racing, my love for speed and exhilaration is kept alive by the thrill of skiing, both on and off-piste.

When not on the ski slopes, I keep fit with daily 10,000 steps+ mountain walks with my best friend Bruno the Briard (a shaggy French herding breed) plus regular swimming and gym sessions. I'm an avid reader and music fan and also produce my own music and EDM mixes in my computer-equipped studio. Basically, 24 hours per day is nowhere near enough to fulfil my various passions and love of life's opportunities!
