  • What’s one piece of advice to anyone trying to improve their skiing?

    - Video yourself regularly and compare what you are doing with someone who you aspire to ski like.

  • What keeps you motivated to keep pushing your skiing?

    - My workmates and friends who always push their skiing and of course professional athletes.

  • What’s one of your memorable skiing experiences?

    - Skiing neck deep powder at night under lights in Niseko.

  • What type of gear do you ski on and why?

    - Head, I use a variety of skis and boots from Head and I really enjoy how the skis and boots perform day after day at the highest level. My boots are the Head WCR 2 and a few of my favourite skis that I am using at the moment are:

    Head E-Race Pro 175

    Head E-Speed Pro 180

    Head E-SL RD 168

    Head E-GS RD Pro 183

    Head Kore 93 189

    I also use the Play Snowsports Adjustable poles, and of course I need to keep my head safe and my eyes protected and for that I used SHRED.
