Pamela started skiing at the age of three in Schladming, Austria. Her love for speed was born from her determination to be faster that her brother and her passion stronger than ever now. Pamela skied for only a few weeks every year until she decided to race full time from the age of sixteen with the British Development ski team.

At the age of seventeen, Pamela moved onto the British Senior Alpine Ski Team and raced in her first Europa Cup races the next year.  Since the 2009/2010 season, Pamela has been racing in World Cup races, her best result so far being 50th in January 2010.
