BSA Staff 2026

BSA founder and director.

In 1996 Malcolm set up the British Ski Academy in the Chamonix Valley to provide better foundational Alpine training to British youngsters than was available in his own youth. The BSA's is the longest running academy programme serving British ski racing. Most members of the current British World Cup Ski Team trained with the BSA extensively in their junior years.

Malcolm raced World Cup downhill with the British Ski Team and is a former British dry slope slalom champion. He also holds the British record for vertical distance skied in 24 hours.

Helen is our Welfare Officer & Race Secretary. She is passionate about skiing, having worked for four winter seasons in the Alps and the Pyrenees, early in her career, interspersed with summer seasons pursuing water sports. Following roles in HR software and Relocation, she is bringing her expertise to bear in ensuring the BSA provides a nurturing and supportive environment for young skiers to hone their racing skills.
