Pat Sharples grew up skiing on the plastic slopes of Rossendale, England - but has come a long way since. Heading to alps to work and ski - he found he had a passion and talent for snow sports, specifically moguls winning various competitions and setting him on today’s path where he heads up the GB Snowsport Coaching Program.

It was a true honour to speak with Pat and have a laugh enjoying stories about the world of skiing. We covered a range of topics and we hear how Pat see’s himself as a coach, and works with his athletes.

But none of this would have been possible without the help and support of many individual’s, brands and companies over the years. The continued support past present and future from various sponsors allows Pat and all the GB teams and athletes to perform a their very best.
