Mayrhofen

Having been lucky enough to ski from childhood, I’ve always loved spending time in the mountains, on and off the slopes. If you board, I can happily join you, although they say I’m not quite as bad on skis. I recently got into touring which has been a revelation.

I’m eternally grateful for being able to experience the mountains in the way that we do, and look forward to meeting like minded people every season for fun and snowy adventures.

As a lad, I was fortunate to participate in school ski trips to Pertisau and Gotzens in Austria - and thought it was the best thing ever. However, career and mortgage took over and it was some considerable time before I managed to find the opportunity to have another go. Following rediscovery, I have been striving to make up for the 'wilderness' years ever since. I particularly enjoy piste performance skiing and have a soft spot for Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

I started skiing in my mid 20's (some time ago) and was immediately bitten by the ski bug! Since then I have skied many resorts in various countries including Austria, France, Italy, Canada and Argentina. I see skiing as a social activity and love the element of skiing with people of all ages and abilities. I have managed over the years to evolve my career (TV/AV production and postproduction) to be able to fit around my time on the ski slopes! I have greatly benefited from skiing with the Ski Club in the past and so now feel privileged to be able to contribute as a Ski Club Rep this year.

Fortunate enough to live and work on the edge of the Lake District I’m never far away from a mountain! Although beautiful, Cumbria’s are usually lacking on the snow front! I spend my summers running an event hire company which is pretty much 24/7, but that means I can spend most of the winter skiing so it’s not all bad, I love meeting like minded people, fresh powder, blue skies & hunting out that best run of the day.

I love being in the mountains and countryside walking/cycling in the summer and skiing in the winter. Skiing is definitely my passion, especially the thrill of deep powder. I discovered the ski club around 15 years ago and have enjoyed meeting and skiing with SCGB members and reps on many Freshtracks weekends and weeks. I completed the Reps course in Dec 22 and met a wonderful group of guests on my first week of repping in Cortina.

Married with two grown up daughters. I have been skiing for over 30 years and love to travel miles on skis preferably to a great lunch venue. I will tackle any piste and reasonable off piste always taking into consideration those I am skiing with and everyone's safety. I particularly like skiing in the soft snow just off the piste where conditions are often best. I successfully completed the Ski Leader Programme in December 2016.
