British skier Jamie Stevenson, who works for tour operator Ski Independence’s Reservations Team, is attempting to break a Guinness World Record and raise money to purchase a sit ski for Disability Snowsport UK this month.
Jamie is aiming to ski 20 different countries in March, travelling alone by car, covering a distance of over 6,500 miles, starting at Aviemore in Scotland and ending in Norway.
To beat the world record (which stands at 15 countries) he must ski a full run in each country and the run must be officially open, meaning it is crucial all resorts are open and have snow cover.
Jamie’s trip will take him through the traditional skiing countries of France, Switzerland and Austria to those less well known by most skiers in the UK including Croatia, Hungary and Poland.
