Ben fell in love with the snow from a very early age and started skiing when he was 3 years
old in Mt Hotham, before being introduced to snowboarding by his older sister Annabel.
He went onto to debut at the 2014 Paralympic Games in Sochi at just 14 years old and has
never looked back.
Ben fell in love with the snow from 3 years old and the love affair has continued.
Ben knows what it takes to perform at the top level in his sport. He puts in gruelling hours both on and off the snow, including hard gym sessions every week.
Ben does not let his disability define who he is. He is a great example of how you can create your own path and define your own story.
Ben has a tight knit support group including his family, friends and coach. He can’t wait to share the Italian experience with them.
Ben’s is firmly focussed on Milano Cortina 2026 and he’s thrilled to have Bupa’s support for the journey.
