Skier... and beginner snowboarder!

After doing annual one-week ski trips in Europe as a teenager, I discovered Canada in my early 20s. Since then I've skied all over Canada the US and Japan and I'm now enjoying exploring other ski destinations around the world.

The Rockies Loop Ski Safari will always be special for me as it was the first one I did and the inspiration for starting Ski Safari.

Getting the whole Ski Safari team into helicopters in Zermatt in March 2016 and doing the season's first descent of the Monte Rosa - just magical.

Whistler, Banff, Lake Louise, Park City, Snowbird, Snowbasin, Powder Mountain Nozawa Onsen and Hakuba

I’m looking forward to exploring more of Norway… and I've always got my eye out for something adventurous, perhaps in British Columbia or Hokkaido.

I got much needed, new ski boots in April - my last pair lasted 15 years!

There are so many interesting ways to do a ski holiday - I'd recommend any trip that allows you to get out and ski and see somewhere new.
