Ski - Scotland

Ross Hewitt

Growing up in Scotland Ross started Skiing aged 7. His skiing morphed somewhat from racing and resort skiing to steep ski mountaineering.

Ross loves the ability to travel fast and light through the mountains on technical terrain, requiring the right mix of the mental, technical and physical abilities

Skiing has taken him around the World to Chile, Argentina, Alaska, Baffin Island, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France, Japan, New Zealand and of course Scotland.

His steep skiing experience including descents of several Alpine steeps such as the Matterhorn, the Himalayan West Face of Mont Blanc, the Peuterey Ridge, West Face of the Eiger, Frendo Spur, Brenva Spur, Mallory, etc, aswell a few trips to ski in Alaska. Exploratory skiing lights my fire and Ross has done 30 first descents in Baffin, 4 in Norway, and 3 major new lines in New Zealand.

Skiing a new route on the Poire - Major - Sentinelle Rouge area of Mont Blanc's Brenva Face
I had 2 amazing trips to the remote wilderness of Baffin Island, dodging polar bears, battling -30C for weeks on end and skiing around 30 new lines that split the huge big walls there.
New Zealand is also close to my heart, the people super friendly and wonderful big mountains. We skied the first descents on the The Jone's Route on Aoraki / Mt Cook, Dragon's Back Central Spur on Elie de Beaumont's Spencer Face, South Face of Lendenfeld, South Face of Darwin and the Sweet Caroline on the Caroline Face of Aoraki / Mt Cook
