About Skiing Unlocked

My name is Henry, and I love skiing.

I've spent the last decade working in and around the ski industry - fitting ski boots and selling ski gear, training as an instructor, and for the Ski Club of Great Britain - as a result, I've built up quite a knowledge of all things "ski".

I'm here to share this experience with you, to help you unlock your winter adventures. From gear reviews to travel guides, weather talk to avalanche safety, whatever you need or want to plan the trip of a lifetime or the best half-term away with the family, you'll find it here.

Skiing Unlocked is more than a blog; it is my journey through the snowsports world, shared with you. And if I still haven't answered your burning questions? Found you the perfect pair of boots? Or given you inspiration for the perfect winter getaway? Ask. Reach out to me via the Contact form or Instagram and let me give you the keys to your skiing.

Welcome to Skiing Unlocked!

A Word on A.I.

Hello. This is a personal note about A.I., namely large language models and their ability to generate content quickly and easily.

I just wanted to let you know that there has been absolutely no use of an generative A.I. in any single word on skiingunlocked.com, across my social media platforms, or in any of the work the I have had published and printed outside of Skiing Unlocked.

I do this, quite simply, because I love writing. Because I love skiing. Because I have a story to tell, and, hopefully, through these stories, you can unlock you skiing. Skiing is something that cannot be replicated by a computer; it is unique, and that unique, lived experience is something I hope to convey in my stories. To use A.I., therefore, would defeat the whole point of this project.

As a result, please rest assured that every word on here is 100% organic, grass fed, free range, A.I. free - and I hope you'll agree, it's better that way.

Many thanks,

- Henry
