Saalbach Hinterglemm

My first skiing trip was to St Anton at tender age of 22, which was a long time ago now. I caught the bug from the very beginning and I've not missed a season ever since. I just LOVE the mountains and have never had a bad day; just some better than others. This is my tenth season leading/repping for the club, which has enabled to ski some great resorts where I’ve had some truly memorable moments and met some fantastic people along the journey. My favourite resort is Revelstoke in British Columbia with its legendary powder, small town vibe and it’s where my youngest daughter lived for six years!

I’ve been skiing for 30 years or more, worked a season in Val d’Isère and Klosters - including a summer season. I’m returning to repping having first took the Reps’s course in 2004 and repped in Tignes the following 3 years. Challenging off-piste or social on-piste, I just love the environment and sharing the experience with others. Looking forward to skiing with you all. 

1st trip aged 11 with SCGB to Scotland....a few leisure trips in early 20's...fast forward to 1999 when rugby playing days ended...started trying to improve as a skier rather than ski simply to enjoy the après ski....lucky enough to have got through the rep's course in 2004 and since then have enjoyed many wonderful days on and off the slopes with fellow ski enthusiasts. Off piste, on piste and afterwards ... skiing ... love it. Chartered Surveyor, self employed.

I became a Ski Club rep in Dec 2023 having started skiing in 1983, enjoying Freshtracks holidays and learning to ski off-piste with Yann and Diane in Flaine. I am passionate about being in the mountains and have skied many resorts in France, Austria, Italy and Bulgaria. To heli ski in North America is still on my bucket list. When I am not skiing you will find me mountain biking, walking and playing on the sea.

I am excited about the season ahead and meeting and skiing with fellow members!

I discovered skiing unexpectedly at the age of 40, and it quickly became my passion, some might even call it an obsession. Since then, I’ve been making up for lost time by exploring many of Europe’s larger ski resorts, as well as some hidden gems, and have made several trips to the incredible Whistler. Over the last few winters, I’ve had the privilege of spending multiple weeks on the slopes, deepening my experience, honing my skills, and expanding my knowledge of the sport.

In December 2022, I completed the Ski Club of Great Britain Rep’s Course in Tignes, and since then, I’ve eagerly embraced the role of Ski Club Rep both in resorts and on Freshtracks Holidays. I can’t wait for the upcoming season, where I look forward to skiing with fellow Ski Club members and sharing my enthusiasm for this incredible sport!

I have been passionate about mountain sports for 35 years, have snowboarded for nearly 25 years and been a rep for the Ski Club since 2004. That has led me to skiing with other Ski Club members in the USA, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland and Austria. I look forward to meeting new members and sharing the joy of the mountains.
