When and where did you learn to ski?

First introduction to skiing was on a holiday in Mayrhofen at the age of nine years old. The next time on snow was in 1992 on a ski holiday with the family to Sauze D'Oulx Italy. This is where I got the real buzz as I was taught by a crazy instructor by the name of Renzo. Started more skiing on the dry slope in Bromley and joined the race club in 1998 and competed in competition around England. I liked it but needed something with more of a challenge and in the winter of '98 was introduced to Freestyle moguls by Ian Terry who was a member of the England Team.

Competition History

Raced as a club member until I was chosen for the England B in May 1999. First competition on snow was in Australia where I trained in Mount Hotham and competed in a couple of Continental Cups from July to September 2000. Trained in Steamboat Colorado USA and competed in Rocky Mountain Disciplines competition from November 2000 to February 2001. Have returned to Australia for training in summer 2001 and also returned to Steamboat for 2002.
