My life has been pretty chaotic but skiing has been the one consistent thing. My mother took us to Alpbach in The Tyrol to learn to ski. Since then I have skied all over Europe, North America and Australia. The winter is pretty much back to back skiing as a Leader for Ski Club (since 2008), with The Army protocol team, and family and friends. In the other months I reluctantly garden and train the dogs and head for the hills or French sunshine. My grown up children now ski faster and better than me but I still have more stamina than them. I took up touring in 2014, and love the peace and challenge. Snow and fitness allowing I hope to do more.
