Profile - Huan Davies

Huan started skiing at Hillend ski-slope at the age of 5 and skied his alpine apprenticeship mostly in Scotland until his mid-twenties when he switched his interest exclusively to back-country telemark.  He won the Royal Navy Telemark Championships in 2002 in between forays into the mountains in the Alps, Andes and Canada.

Intrigued by the re-emergence of the National team and the National Championships hosted by the Army for the first time in 2008, he was drawn back into competition.  Since then he has Captained an active Royal Navy Telemark team for the last two years and finished 2nd in the National Championships in 2010. 

Huan was selected for Team GB in 2008 and has raced two seasons on the World Cup.  His highest placing was 30^th in the Telemark GS at the inaugural British World Cup in Rauris in 2010, for which he thanks the 'home crowd'! Selected for the 2011 season, Huan is focussed on preparing for a stronger showing in the World Cup and the World Championships at Rjukan in March 2011.
