Ski lifts

When it comes to boarding the ski lift, King acknowledges that more inexperienced skiers may struggle, and that lift operators should step in to help. This is also when she calls on the ski community to be more welcoming to everyone.

“There’s no real etiquette in terms of getting on chair lifts... sometimes beginners can struggle to get on chair lifts, in which case the “liftie” should slow the chair down for them. I think that people should just be more open.”

King maintains her compassionate spirit when she speaks of helping the next generation of female skiers take on the slopes. “Skiing in Hong Kong, racing especially, is not a big sport but it’s cool to see [it] – especially women’s [skiing] – growing so much.

“If [the younger skiers] ask for advice, I say racing is hard. You have off days. I try to let them know bad days are there for a reason and that they’ll get better because of it.”

She finishes: “When you’re young, it’s important to have fun every single day when you’re training and racing, because that’s how you’re going to improve.”
