Ski Crosser, Ollie Davies Who Learnt To Ski With Esprit Becomes Brand Ambassador

24 year old, British Ski cross athlete, Ollie Davies from Guildford in Surrey found his passion for skiing on an Esprit family holiday at the age of 2, long before he competed internationally on the world’s stage.

Ollie went on 3 ski holidays with the UK’s number one family ski holiday provider, Esprit, and later, at 8 years old moved to France to continue his progression.

Having recently reunited with the popular family ski tour operator as an Esprit ambassador, Davies commented on his long-term relationship with the company.

GB, Ski Crosser, Ollie Davies said “I remember buzzing around the mountains, just discovering this new world for the first time—that I’d never really had any exposure to until my first Esprit Ski holiday.

“To families thinking of taking their children skiing for the first time, I would say 100% go for it! If it wasn’t for my family taking me on ski holidays and Esprit being able to provide the infrastructure for us to come and have such an amazing time, I wouldn’t be where I am today or have the passion and enthusiasm I do now.

“Esprit have always been about children’s enjoyment. Knowing the kids are going to be having fun and the parents can have some time away from the kids to enjoy their skiing too is great.

“And down the line, anyone looking to pursue a career in ski cross or any snow sports discipline, will need to have that enjoyment. Without enjoyment you’re never going to be able to put the hard work in needed to succeed.”

Esprit CEO, Joe Ponte said “We’re delighted to have been the spark that inspired Ollie Davies’ and many other children’s passion for skiing and snowboarding. At Esprit, time for the kids, time for the parents and time together is at the heart of everything we do.

“That’s why we have handpicked family-friendly resorts and accommodation in France and Italy, and teamed them with our excellent childcare and ski lesson packages, lift passes, flights and transfers to make our family ski holidays as easy and enjoyable as possible.”

Esprit understand the importance of the whole family having fun on holiday. They have led the childcare concept for UK families on skiing holidays for over 39 years, and their childcare options are regularly evaluated and improved. Their caring childcare team look after the children throughout the day at their ski schools and kids' clubs.
