Short Bio: I started skiing aged 8 at my local dry ski slope in Alford. I went straight from snowplough into my local race club, Gordon Skiers, and never looked back. Now based in Zell Am See for the majority of the winter season, travelling to other European countries to compete. My aim this year is to represent Great Britain at the World Championships in Vail,CO, I will keep working hard on every aspect of my ski racing to give me the best possible chance at success.
