Having left the world of investment banking, Phil set up SnowSkool with a small loan from the old man, JJ Purdie, who is now the Company Secretary. After a decade of snowboarding all over the world, including two full seasons in Canada, Phil switched back to skis and loves the speed and freedom it offers. After six full seasons in Canada, skiing or riding in excess of 25 resorts, Phil has developed a real love for Western Canada and is most happy touring somewhere in the backcountry. It is this adventurous spirit that spurs him on to look for new challenges and discover Canada’s next “best-kept secret”.

Having worked in the world of sport since 2002, Sarah left her job at Red Bull and the daily crush of the London tube behind her earlier this year to join SnowSkool as UK Marketing Manager. As well as spending her days making sure that as many snowsports lovers as possible hear about SnowSkool and our courses, Sarah will be heading out to Big White this year as Course Leader and can't wait for her first full Canadian winter season.

dunk@snowskool.co.uk
Since graduating from the first ever SnowSkool programme in Banff , Dunk has recently obtained the role of Operations Manager which sees him spending seven months per year in the Canadian or NZ winter. As an ex-paratrooper, Dunk’s organisational skills are second-to-none and lend themselves well to putting together a course focused on skiing and snowboarding but also one that ensures you make the most of your time in resort. An avid snowboarder – he lives and breathes the sport – and his park skills have developed to such an extent that SnowSkool now sponsors him to enter UK-based competitions.
