Len started skiing as an adult in 1985, has been taking people into the Australian snowy wilderness since 1987 when he first gained his cross country ski teachers qualifications. In his humble beginnings teaching people to cross country ski, Len was soon taking people out on ski and snow shoe tours. The usual trip was two days learning to ski, and three days camping in the snow. Len went on to design and deliver Australia’s first backcountry ski guides courses for Blue Mountains College, Western Sydney Institute, TAFE NSW, designed around the National Training Package. With this background Len is well equiped to guide and teach you in a safe and supportive manner.
