Influences in skiing: In my first season I worked above a pub where all the staff were into the park, so they encouraged me to hit the kickers, which I did a little bit, but didn’t get fully into freestyle until the next season when I worked in the pub itself.
Ideal day on snow: A blue sky, sunny day, skiing in the park with a group of good friends, trying new tricks and stomping everything!

Outerwear: Helly Hansen Laurasia Jacket and Pants in hot pink - it's all about the bright colours this season!
