I’ve been with Ski Solutions since 2021 and initially joined because of my love of skiing. Having returned to the UK after two seasons in Whistler, it was a no-brainer that Ski Solutions would be right for me. Prior to playing around in the Canadian mountains, I spent a good portion of my 20s working as a Travel Agent and have continued my passion for adventure and travel ever since.
“Having returned to the UK after two seasons in Whistler, it was a no-brainer that Ski Solutions would be right for me.”
I was a latecomer to skiing, first trying it in my mid-twenties when my partner bought me a lesson at Milton Keynes indoor ski slope for my birthday, in the hope that I would enjoy it as much as him. Luckily I loved it, and we swiftly booked a week in Courchevel where I had morning lessons each day, and I discovered it’s the only sport I’m not terrible at! A couple of years later I flew to Canada, bought some skis, and began lapping Whistler and Blackcomb mountains most days!

Top Tip
If you are going to ski regularly, invest in your own boots, it will be worth it!

Favourite Hotel
The Hotel Alex, in Zermatt. I’m always drawn back the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that the Perren family have worked so hard to create.
