World Records

Through my SKI CHASER ski adventure, I will attempt to beat the following records:

• Most days consecutively skiied
  Most lifts ridden in 24 hours
• Most countries skied
• Most countries skied consecutively/on one trip/in one year
• Most countries ski instructed in

I have submitted my applications to Guinness Book of World Records and Alternative World Records. I'm going to be a famous world record breaker!!!

Childhood Aspirations

Most little girls daydream about one day being a famous pop star, or a beautiful ballerina, or a princess with her own castle.

Not me. I wanted to ski. It's all I ever want to do! Granted, I have many other aspirations too, but I can honestly say I cannot imagine my life without skiing in it!!

I'm going to chase the snow. I'm going to learn to do professional jumps. I will learn race techniques. I will compete in races. And win them too!

Lifelong dreams realised!

I have a dream...

I have a dream. I have a dream to follow the snow. To be a ski chaser and follow the snow for a year. Every day for a year, to ski. On every continent. I feel the need for speed. I ski for freedom. Down the mountain to move mountains. Racing for restoration!!!!

So here is the plan:
In July 2010 I will complete a fully accredited 10 week ski instructors training course in NZ. As well as equipping me to earn-as-I ski on my year long adventure, this also includes vitals such as avanlanche rescue, survival skills, racing techniques, video analysis etc etc.....I will ski there as long as I can. I'll then head to South America - Peru, Chile, and a couple of others. Then I'll go to France for the Autumn. I'll do Europe - all countries!- until the End of January. Next stop is Asia, to include for sure Japan, Nepal-MOUNT EVEREST!! (not sure if I'll make it to the top MWAH HAHA! But I will ski the resort there), India, Pakistan, Russia, Siberia.... End of February, early March I'll hit North America for as long as I can until the snow begins to melt. I'll head back to NZ for the early snow drifts, play in South Africa (yes, south Africa has a ski resort too!!The Tiffindel Resort of the Eastern Cape! Near Lesotho!), and then finish up in Australia in July 2011!!

As you can imagine, this will be quite the financial ordeal. So spread the word about the "ski chaser"!! I'm going to need sponsorship...from individuals, from groups, from air companies, travel companies, hotels, car rentals, couches at friends' places in different continents, SKIS!! Ski equipment, clothing, luggage, insurance, etc!

I am also after creative sponsorship. Artists, journalists, media contacts, designers,...in whatever that looks like. Want to design my skis?! Follow my journey? An interview with "the girl on the snow"???!!I will write as I ski...(probably not literally...I'm thinking alpine hits, apres ski reflections!!) so I am also looking for a publisher, someone interested in collecting my journal entries, or skiing perspectives from across the globe.If you or someone you know would like to brand or sponsor me...BE IN TOUCH!!
