Someone once said “you don’t live one life, you live one and a half” and that’s so true. I’m always full of energy, and skiing is the perfect way to vent some of that hyperactivity! My influences are Tanner Hall, and Alain Baxter.

I was lucky enough to get coaching from Alain Baxter not long ago, and it was really a once in a lifetime opportunity. Chill Factore in Manchester is my local slope, and it’s a great place to train, with excellent coaches.

I’m a ski instructor by trade, but also dabble in Snowboarding every now and then, so any pre-conceived ideas about a rift between skiers and snowboarders are rubbish.

After a good hard shred, there’s nothing I like more than eating my mum’s awesome roast dinner, and curling up in front of a fire, watching a cheesy film. I hope to continue with my skiing for as long is physically possible, and I have a dream to open a ski school in the French Alps.
