Favourite ski experience – Probably a trip to South America with Jamie Cameron and Pally a couple of summers ago. The whole trip was just an amazing experience with loads of laughs and incredible skiing.
Notable achievements in skiing – Super happy to have qualified to ski on the World Tour Freeride circuit and despite having a torn acl and meniscus last winter I was super happy to get a 28th overall at the Verbier Ride world tour and an 11th in qualifying for the Les Arcs world tour last year.
Who do you admire in skiing – Too many to say wooow. In the UK the likes of Pikey, Wazza, Pat, Jason, Mr Young, Bennettron, loads. In the world the likes of Hugo Harrison, Seth Morrison and generally anyone who charges of big cliffs and skis fast.
Funniest thing seen on snow – Just Slave monkey in general!
Best competition you ever entered – The Brit’s and Verbier Ride are always classic events!
