Skiing is a passion and a way of life. 

If it's got snow on it, it's skiable - not necessarily sensible, but skiable.

I'd rather be on the mountain thinking about science than in the lab thinking about skiing






Research groups



From 2012 onwards, I have been part of a group attempting to ski tour across the Alps. We started in Ischgl in Austria and have so far reached Bardonecchia in Italy, skiing one week a year from hut to hut (where possible). This incredible adventure is chronicled in the below pages

Part One. Ischgl - Klosters - The Silvretta Tour

Part Two. Klosters-Andermatt - the Thwarted tour
Part Three. Andermatt-Lotschental - The Bernese Oberland Tour
Part Four. Lotschental-Verbier - The Injury Prone Tour
Part Five. Verbier - La Thuile - The Reverse Haute Route
Part Six. La Thuile-Bardonecchia - The Sunny Tour


Red is ski track. Dotted red is public transport due to lack of snow. Purple is where we should have gone. We started in Ischgl in Austria and have so far reached Bardonecchia in Italy
