 Simon Cooke
Nationality:
Eurobrummie.
A.K.A:
21st century Si, Simon James Montague SmytheEsq, 21, Sensi(tive) Si, Cybersi, Bon Jovi, Michael Bolton, Rick Astley, yes the list goes on.
Years Riding:
15 seasons on a board and 5 seasons ass wiggling in a one piece on skis.
Coolest place to ride in the EspaceKilly:
The Palafour is a great run, jibs everywhere, and the Face down into Val d'Isere, when it's groomed first thing, is sweet. Make the most of fresh lines in the Chardonnay Bowl with a No Fish. Free the feet and you free the soul.
What does the Alliance mean to you:
Alliance is the Krew who we ride with whether its first weekers, young rippers, friends in resort or the other Alliance instructors. Alliance Snowboarding is all about having fun with your friends and looking good doing it.
Best lunch stop:
Well, this is a tough one. Tignes cuisine pies Mmmm, but I can eat too many. The American sandwich in the Spar if you have the hunger of 3 men. Chocolate and orange pie in the Chalet de Pain is always a winner. And then of course there is the sausage sarni in the Brasero. I am really healthy honestly.
Best Apres:
Loop bar Guinness is just too good and so is the Leffe in the Embuscade even if it is a little dangerous. When one is in Val, Monty can be found in the Blue Note sipping a refined pint of icy Stella.
Other special skills:
Si can put his hand to most things as long as it involves duck tape and/or super glue. |
