First skiing experience - My next door neighbour took me to the Ski Village and gave me a lesson. Within a couple of goes they took me on the big slope when I couldn’t even stop. Somehow I survived and wanted to go back for more!
Favourite ski experience - Ski Treeing with Rob Taylor in Morzine 09, the best snow Europe has had for a long time. Face shots every turn! And I even skied over a crow!
Any special skills outside of skiing - Baking!
Funniest thing seen on snow - Rob Taylor’s first ever powder experience in Laax. He accidently launched himself off a big drop (he was ok).
If I weren’t skiing, I’d be …Bored.
Best competition you ever entered - World Champs, Japan. Well I got to go to Japan and everyone was friendly!
