Nick Hill
Always try to be on time but was very late to finally start skiing. After a childhood of watching Ski Sunday my first go on planks was in my mid 40s when as a family we were able to give Tom and Molly the opportunity to ski that we never had as children. Professional designer and photographer who likes to do things right. Passed Cycling Proficiency first time and like riding bikes, preferably up mountains! Mainly so I can go fast down the other side!
Nicky Parr
I didn’t start skiing until I was an adult, after a spectacularly failed attempt by Cam to make me a snowboarder – now both kids are much better skiers than I will ever be.
Professionally I have worked at BT and Openreach for 20 years, and am a qualified CIMA accountant. Currently Head of Finance supporting a business with more than 12k of engineers who connect and maintain the UKs phone and broadband services.
Life outside work seems to mainly be spent taxiing my 2 children to various activities! I am also a Board Member of a School Academy Trust and teach piano. Any spare time is enjoyed on holidays with the family.

Lucy Ridgeway
As a secondary school teacher, I am certainly not frightened of a challenge. It was through school in 2014 I had my first experience of skiing. I started with a very brief introduction on the dry ski slope and had to progress quickly to the mountains in Italy where I had a ‘crash’ course in skiing. From that point, I joined Sharks and my ski technique has been continually improving along with my social life!
Barry (Sugar Boy) Drummond
Vice Chair
I’m an ex rugby player and motorcycle racer and discovered skiing fairly late but am now a big enthusiast. I often represent Sharks in the various fun race leagues and am hoping to start my journey towards instructor shortly.
