It was a worrying moment as we arrived in Fernie, Canada. I am helping to host a holiday to for readers of Daily Mail Ski & Snowboard magazine and as the 32 members of the group arrived at our hotel, it was raining.

So just before Christmas I competed in the first stop of the Winter Dew Tour in Breckenridge and came third which was a nice result. I then head home to Bristol for Christmas and I was surprised to see all the snow. I had a week and a half at home before heading straight back [...]
