In the summer

The last couple of summers I have travelled back to the UK to spend time with family and friends. I enjoy the summer when the weather is good but am always counting the days for winter!

My Zermatt insider tip is:
Ski the yellow runs, best runs in the resort and there’s no one on them.
If I wasn't a Summit instructor:

Professional race car driver

3 reasons to ride with me:

1. Fun! Snowboarding is all about having fun and I want to ensure that you have a great time riding with me while progressing your abilities and gaining confidence at any level.

2. I have tons of patience and am great at helping if you ever feel a little nervous or intimidated.

3. I always want to make sure you get the most out of any time spent with me and will always tailor the lesson to fit your personal goals on a snowboard.
