Alex Tilley

Alex began her journey as a ski racer at the age of 8 after family friends recommended giving it a go at local club Gordon Skiers. With no one in the family ever skiing before her, it was straight in at the deep end, and almost straight onto a race course. All these years later, she is working harder than ever to compete with the best in the world, and having shown her capabilities on a number of occasions against the biggest names in the sport, the potential to go on to new heights is evident.

Growing up, Alex had the benefit of seeing idol Alain Baxter winning his Olympic Bronze medal and the aftermath of that. At a young age it was hard to see the effect that would have on an athlete looking up to Alain, but in more recent years, Alex takes a great amount of pride and motivation in rewriting that legacy and looks to represent Great Britain as a nation who can outwork others against the odds.
