"I joined the club with my son in 2010 after he had learned to ski with the Bowles Kids Club. For me it was a return to ski-racing after a 32-year break, so we are very representative of the range of age and experience in the club. I am known for still skiing in some of my old kit and being competitive with the younger racers!"

"I started skiing aged 12 and have moved from piste to free range and back again via ski touring. I joined Bowles to allow my son (then aged 7) to continue his snow skiing throughout the year. Bowles have been brilliant at improving his race technique and allowing him to race year round" 

"I am the club treasurer and a qualified alpine ski instructor and ski performance coach. I have been skiing for about 27 years and have raced for about 6 years. I have two children who are also in the Bowles race squad and who both ski better than me - that's life!"

"I started skiing the age of 20 and have been a ski instructor since 1988. After a period teaching on snow, I've taught skiing at Bowles alongside a career in IT. I have been involved with the club since 1990, and hold BASI ISIA and SnowSport England IVSI qualifications."
