Ski
I first stood on skis aged three and spent much of my childhood living in Switzerland and Austria, developing a profound love for the mountains and for skiing. After graduating from university, I travelled the world for three years, during which I spent two winters in Aspen, Colorado.
Since then, my ski writing has included:
- Winter 2010/11 and 2016/17: weekly ski columns for the Daily Telegraph.
- November 2015: 'The Stylish Life: Skiing', a light-hearted and nostalgic book about the evolution of skiing fashion, equipment and resorts.
- October 2016: 'The Ultimate Ski Book' , the definitive book about skiing, spanning resorts, legends, lifestyle and more. A revised edition was published in October 2020.
- December 2019-March 2023: balancing freelance work with the role of co-editor Ski+board magazine, the official magazine of the Ski Club of Great Britain.
- October 2023: 'Powder - Snowsports in the Mountain World' , a compilation of essays on the world's mountains written in collaboration with Red Bull.
Further to these pieces of work, ski features I have written include:
