EB Freeski Team - Lorna Carmichael
Name: Lorna Carmichael
Age: 23 [Nov' 05]
Years riding: 7 (plus a couple of weeks as a wee nipper and a bit of snowboarding – before I realised that skiing is GREAT)
Sponsors: K2, The North Face, Adidas Eyewear, Nordica - and Ellis Brigham!
Winter home: Whistler…real mountains this winter!! – has been Edinburgh for the last 4…
Summer home: Egginton, Derbyshire
Influences in skiing: Being late into the scene I missed all the Glen Plake madness… although I’m assured that he took skiing in the ‘freeski’ direction, which is good stuff. I loved Blizzard of Aaaaahs when I first saw it a couple of years ago.
In terms of ‘real life’, Pikey (Jamie Cameron) has probably been most influential to my riding. I did my first jump under his instruction and he’s helped me loads since.
Ideal day on snow: Sunny, with crisp cold air, endless empty powder fields and buddies. End with a kicker session and skidoo to ride back up… nothing better than endless ‘starfish to face full of powder’ slams! (except when you land right… maybe)
Skis: K2 MissDemeanour for All Mountain & Park, K2 Seth Vicious for Freeride. Both have rad graphics and the highest “uber-gnar factor” around I reckon.
Boots: Nordica W12
Outerwear: : The North Face
Helmet: Always wear one, but not my own. I’m hoping the owner has forgotten
Goggles: Adidas Yodai (and their sunnies too)
Pack: The North Face ‘Off Chute’
