BY Natalie Manzo I have been skiing for as long as I can remember. Since the age of six, I have braved the bitter winter weather and propelled myself down a snow-covered mountain on two pieces of metal bundled in plenty of layers. Now I know what you may be thinking… ‘Do you really enjoy that?’ The answer is yes. Yes one hundred times over.
