Beth Alexander
Beth joined MadDogSki just before the 2012/13 ski season. At the time she hadn’t so much as tried on a pair of ski boots, but all that, of course, was set to change. She’ll be documenting the highs and lows of being a beginner skier and getting to know the slopes through regular blogs and articles. Beth also works on marketing and online editing for MadDogSki, and before arriving back in London in 2012, she’d been off gallivanting around the world with her laptop working on travel writing and marketing projects.
