Adrian (Director)

Adrian learned to ski when he was two years old at Charlotte Pass in Australia. After finishing school he spent six winters working in the Australian ski fields as a ski patroller. During the Northern Hemisphere winters he lived in Canada for ten seasons, mostly in Fernie. Over this time he skied all resorts throughout British Columbia and Alberta, gained his CAA (Canadian Avalanche Awareness) certification and extensively toured the amazing Canadian backcountry. Adrian has also skied all areas of New Zealand, Chile, and most of North America from Utah, Colorado and Tahoe to Washington and Montana. For the past 17 winter seasons he has called Niseko home in his continued search for the deepest powder on earth.
