I then followed in his footsteps as I became a snow-sports instructor myself. During this time I discovered telemark skiing, which became my new passion. In 2012, I entered my first World Cup races and I took part in the World Championships. My greatest achievements to date have been coming 14th in the WC Sprint in Wengen and 18th in the Classic. I also came 2nd in the British Telemark Championships for two years running, in 2014 and 2015. I may be old but am still improving every day. Gallery MORE PICS
