I was lucky to have parents who were both keen skiers so I caught the skiing bug early and have never recovered! I love skiing both off-piste and on, whether it’s ski-touring, slalom racing, bumps or simply cruising a ‘motorway’ piste. Mountains and snow give me a special buzz, especially when combined with like-minded company and a charming Alpine village. Too bad I live in the flattest part of rural Oxfordshire! When not dreaming of skiing I’m a business writer for hire and enjoy playing tennis, backgammon, bridge, and a more recent addition - padel tennis.
