This year, we've teamed up with Andy Parry and TAFT, to offer two skiers the chance to WIN a full outerwear sponsorship from Planks next season! Firstly, Andy and the Line Skis crew will be picking one stand-out skier at the end of the tour. But if you're not in the US, don't worry, we're also opening up the opportunity internationally via Instagram. To enter, post a Reel to Instagram from your home resort or hill, showcasing your best skiing, using the hashtag #TAFTworldwide. Then make sure you also tag @planksclothing and @tellafriendtour. We'll be accepting entries until the 13th of March 2023. Good luck.

Obviously we touch on his differences and challenges, but he was more than happy to talk about skiing too!
