On or off the slopes, even with type 1, you can achieve even your wildest dreams.

Posted: Thu 20th Nov 08 10:33

With the right control, determination, positive outlook and attitude - you can achieve even your wildest dreams. I’m still living mine.

For me the winter season is fast approaching and I can’t wait to get out on to the snow. It’s going to be a very busy season. Again I will be following the freeride world tour around Europe as well as working closely with a number of photographers and film crews for various new movies and publications. I will be based in Verbier, Switzerland for the winter season but I hope to make it out to places like South Korea and Japan again but I will keep you all posted on my movements.

As well as planning for the winter I had a very busy summer. I played a lot sport and won player of the season for my cricket club, which was amazing. I have also been working on an exciting new project which is happening in London. This winter The O2 invites you to hit ‘The Slopes’, London’s first ever-indoor artificial twin ski slope.

The twin slopes, both 45 metres in length will bring the whole skiing experience even closer to the people of London. Not only will visitors be able to learn to ski or snowboard but The Slopes will be open to experienced skiers to warm up their ski/snowboard legs before heading to the mountains.

Aside from skiing and snowboarding, the more adventurous mountain person will be able to try out the snow tubes. These inflatable sledges are perfect for everyone whether you like spinning, sliding or just sledging.

This is the newest project from my company so if you ever make it over make sure you ask for me as it would be great to get some of you on the slope and help out were I can.

Well that’s all for now, I hit the mountains for a week in December so pop back then when I can give you a update and also let you know more about the up and coming winter season.

Look after yourselves and keep that strong positive attitude going and if you have any questions then please leave a comment and I will answer it as soon as I can.

Enjoy the winter.
