First went sking with the Rossendale Ski Club to Sansicario after I finished university and have been skiing ever since.... Going round left hand corners nvolved sitting down and turing round the skis. I enjoy offpiste sking, ski safari and ski touring when I get the opportunity and the time... I spend my summers sailing so end up with some serious scheduling conflicts around april ... when both sports are available. I love the mountains and enjoy the thrill of an open slope, fresh powder and a crystal blue sky! I have skied mainly in Europe and occasionally Canada and Chile/ Argentina with ambitions on the USA. I enjoy ski touring and exploring the backwoods either in search of a good slope or a good lunch! In the summer I cruise and race yachts looking for adventure. With all leisure involving combinations of wind, sunshine and water... in varying amounts. Now retired although officially qualified in chemical engineering and HR!
