Back in the game…

You can imagine with it being a year since I was last on snow, I was like a ‘kid in a candy store’ excited. The trip to Alpe D’Huez and Montegenvre was organised by Zenith Holidays. There were 2 guys from ‘Heat’ magazine and ‘Heat World’, Dan and Stef. The boarders. Usually when you go on trips like this, you worry what the other people are going to be like… well these two were some of the funniest, talented guys I have ever met. Both completely different yet so similar, you would be lucky to get on a trip with these jokesters.

Anna is a gorgeous pint sized tv presenter featured on many shows like ‘Daybreak’ and ‘Nickelodean’ and also writes for ‘Ok’ mag and ‘Digital spy’. With her partner Mike being a cameraman, you could say they are pretty well suited. Lovely, genuine people, they complement each other perfectly. Mike by the way films everything from ‘Britain and Irelands next top model’ to ‘A league of there own’ (my personal favourite) and is THE camera man to know.

Jamie from ‘Fox Vincent Media’ is the guy who organised the whole trip. A PR marketing genius who has the most amazing hook ups. He knows everyone! He HATES losing, so he understands perfectly my career and is helping me loads with trying to get back to winning again!

Everything from the fun and very competent chalet staff, having to struggle with my diet of no wheat, gluten, or dairy to the owner Katie herself, was amazing. Great job Zenith!

I just want to say a massive thank you to you guys for helping me through my tough diet, training and 1st week back on skis. I couldn’t think of a better bunch to have been there. Also to all my friends, thanks for the continued support.

On to the vid…

Pam Ski TV

Hey friends! HAPPY 2012!!!

New Year = New Adventures! I was a very lucky girl for xmas and one of my presents included a sweet video camera. It’s totally pam proof being that its waterproof, shock proof and dust proof so it will suit me well when I take it to the slopes.

After having a play around Nick decided that being a master videographer (self proclaimed), he would put some vids together. Basically he films me doing my ‘thing’… whatever that is. The idea being that I make videos of my life/season as a winter athlete. Capturing the highs and lows, the good, the bad, and the ugly!

This is my first vid on my new channel- PamSkiTV. I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think! Any suggestions or advice would be sweet… I’m new to this so all comments are appreciated. Vid is also available in High Def on YouTube if you want to see it even clearer!

Next in the pipeline… back on snow after 11 months… :)

Rhianna is my homegirl…

Off-piste by pam

This time last year, I was racing World Cup Downhill in Canada. As the same races came around this year, I flew off to the sun. Only a few weeks to go before the first World Cup Ski Cross race. I cant wait to get some of that action, but before I can get back to racing, I have to make sure I am strong, fit and race ready. Soon!

Almost as soon as we arrived in the land of Ri Ri, we wanted to sample some ‘local’ music, so naturally we turned the radio on. What I learned quickly was, they love their girl Rhianna, One Direction have ‘cracked’ Barbados and there is a crazy amount of reggae xmas songs… amazing!

We were  over there for the Surfers Bay Music Festival. Charlie Simpson was headlining. I have to say it is a massive thanks to him, his manager Tristan, and Virgin Holidays for hooking us up for this sweet trip. Our penthouse rooms at the Ocean 2 hotel were insane! THANK YOU!!!

Arriving in Barbados…

Paradise…

Tiny sea turtles hatched and tried to take over the hotel… there were hundreds!

we even had to do a rescue attempt when they kept filling up the swimming pool filters!

Cooling off and relaxing…

We did ‘come dine with me’ nights. Lizzy’s pulled pork and Tristan’s Strawberry Daiquiris were massive hits!
