Passionate about the mountains and skiing. Generally most of my time in mountains is either off piste scenarios or coaching skiers who are looking to get off piste. If I'm not skiing I'm usually working on planning skiing trips for our Academy and doing things like cycling and yoga. I live with my son who is also a passionate skier.
