First skiing experience
I was about 5 but all I can remember was having a bright yellow and orange all in one suit that I liked a little too much.
Favourite ski experience
When you wake up, look out the window to blue skies and know it’s to be an epic day.
Notable achievements in skiing
Inventing the pistol Flip, that’s it so far.
Who do you admire in skiing
I look up to riders who push the boundaries of the sport. Also anyone just riding for the right reasons and enjoying themselves.
Funniest thing seen on snow
Probably just the amount of people I’ve seen try a back flip for the first time and land straight on their heads. If I could montage them together that would be a great video.
If I weren’t skiing, I’d be
At University stuck in lectures thinking about skiing.
Favourite ski movie
Propaganda
Best competition you ever entered
I'm planning on doing the U.S open this season.
