Joining HPSC seemed almost like destiny to me. My father grew up in High Park and along with his brother, strapped on wooden skis and skied down the hills in High Park. I watched ski racing with him as a child and can remember hoping that one day I would get to try it. That opportunity came in high school when I went on my first ski trip to Mount St Louis. I was hooked! The toughest part in those days was making it up the ski hill without falling off the t-bar! Trips to Tremblant, Jay Peak, Killington and Utah followed.

Like some of you, I was busy with family activities and did not ski much for many years, but decided to get back into it and joined HPSC. I have never looked back, and for almost 20 years, skiing has become a big part of my life and planning ski trips became my passion. I've worked behind the scenes with the long trips committee for 15 years, volunteered as a trip leader on many trips, and have spent the last few years taking the lead in planning our charter trips. I was honoured when Bill asked me to take over as Director. It's a big job that requires a team of experienced volunteers who, like me, are dedicated to providing the club with exciting new destinations and member favorites. Experience skiing at many resorts over the years has been an essential part of understanding what will work for our members.

My commitment to the club is to continue to offer the best experience and superior value trips to our members. You can trust that the long trips team will continue to be in safe hands.
