I grew up with parents who loved to ski and so they passed down the joy of skiing to me and my sister, taking us on ski holidays to the Alps every year, where I started skiing around 4 years old. I had my ups and downs in French ski school, but by my teen years I was well and truly sold on this sport! After graduating from university, I took a gap year in Austria and trained to be a Ski Instructor on the Kitzteinhorn glacier– passing my Austrian “Anwärter” exam and then teaching kids group classes for 5 months for Ski Schule Arlberg (St Anton). Although this was just a gap year for me, skiing is still one of my favourite hobbies.
Most recently, after moving to Bermuda, I have been making the most of skiing in Canada - in the last two years I have skied Whistler, Banff, Lake Louise, Kicking Horse and Revelstoke. It’s been a pleasure to try skiing outside of the Alps. My dream would be to go Heli Skiing – which I’m hoping is something I can make a reality over the next few years (give me a shout if this is something that interests you too!)
