I've not really ever chatted that much with Becci before, a few short conversations here and there at various events, but she feels like someone I should have been great friends with and this was as easy and relaxed a conversation as I think I've ever had.

Becci grew up skiing, coincidentally, at a dry slope I later worked in the snowboard shop at (maybe thats the connection) and became very good at snowboarding, very quickly, started winning national comps, along with her then partner, Neil Mcnab. Between them they had the UK competition on lock and they we offered lots of opportunities.

After competitive life started to wane and a new charge of younger riders came to the fore, Becci moved to Morzine in France and founded BASS https://www.britishskischool.com/bassresorts/morzine and hung up her snowboard boots, as she puts it, because she had acheived everything she had wanted to do on a board.

I'm happy to report Becci has refound her love of snowboarding, hooking up with her old sponsor Nitro https://nitrosnowboards.com/en and looking forward to shredding again this winter...
