The Perfect days skiing for me would be to go heli-skiing its something I’ve always wanted to do and would love to just have a whole face to myself.
This is your paragraph to write whatever you like about your sport!
The main thing about skiing is to be free, go where you want and do what you want but don’t be afraid to try something new.
Do you have any thanks?
Yeah a big Thanks to my parents for supporting me right from the beginning in ski racing and for understanding that this is what I want to do.
What are your plans for the up and coming months?
The next few months im going to be working hard, trying to get some money together for next winter so I can travel to places I’ve always wanted to ski such as Russia, Kashmir, and Japan and hopefully a heli skiing trip with Relentless in Romania.
