Skier Questionnaire
How old where you when you first began skiing?
I was 2 years old and my parents took me to Scotland, seems like a cruel thing to put a toddler through but I thank them for it now.
What/Who got you into it?
I started freestyle when a ramp was built at my home slope in Kendal a few years ago. Jumping had fewer rules than racing and I never liked my cat suit anyway!
What type of ski's do you use?
MOvement Sistas - so sick!
How many seasons have you done?
4 seasons and counting, now in my 5th "gap year" of my gap life
Where have you done your seasons (including the year)?
2002-2003, La Plagne, France, learnt how to ski freeride and pipe, skiing became a drug to which I am now addicted. 2003-2004, Verbier, Switzerland, crazy season of fun freeride! 2004-2005, Mammoth, USA, amazing snow and parks, June mountain is the best place on earth! 2005-2006, Mammoth 2006, Nz 2006-2007, Mammoth
What's your goal within Skiing?
Possibly to have as much fun as is possibly possible! And to take over the world, mwah ha ha haa!

What style of Skiing best descibes your riding (include a couple if you want)?
Lazy as hell (as few turns as possible)
What's your top safety tips when Skiing?
Avoid people in fluorescent one-piece suits and stupid hats, and never swap kit with a snowboarder at the top of the park!
Give someone some advice:
Never eat yellow snow... throw it at someone instead!
General Questionnaire
What are your other interests?
I love snowboarding, its nice to try and re-learn all the tricks I can do on skis, its just a shame it takes time away from my skiing. Oh and checking out the fit skiers and snowboarders in the park!
Where would you like to see yourself in the future?
In my big house up in the mountains, living the pro skier life, with my pro skier/snowboarder husband, a big fliffy husky or 2 and maybe 2 pro groms wearing mini baggy clothes, rippin the park that we built for them in our back yard!
Realistically, what will you be doing in the future?
Still living in my parents house working my butt off, so I can afford to not be a chalet slave in the winter. But still stupidly happy!

Who are your idols?
Glen Plake, who I met the other winter in Mammoth, he is supper nice!
What music are you into?
Everything, mainly rock, hip hop, a bit of reggae, dance hall and electronica but I seem to know the words of most of the songs ever written, no idea why?
What's your favourite book?
The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
What's your favourite quote?
"love life" and "Seize the day" always good quotes to live by!
Best cocktail, shot or drink?
A nice cold beer after skiing is the 2nd happyist time of the day! Skiing is the 1st!
What's your most prized possession?
My good health, and the part of the brain that addicts me to extreme sports. And my friends, family and Ipod!
