BIOGRAPHY

Will Feneley learnt to ski when he was 6 years old on a family holiday. On returning, he joined Norfolk Snowsports Club, as a Junior Club member, quickly making his way from Kadets through to Eagles. During that time he also started ski racing on the dry slope and was soon part of the Norfolk race team. He has competed for them in the Eastern Region (ERSA) Summer League since 2006, winning numerous medals. He has also competed at Club National and Grand Prix level, now the GBR series, always doing very well.

While still maintaining an active part in Norfolk Snowsports Club, he went on to train with the British Ski Academy. Over the last 6 seasons he has trained and alpine raced (including:  slalom, GS, and super G) from December until April each year in Europe. Again achieving many podium positions. In the 2013-14 season he was selected to the England Alpine development Squad.

He combined his love of ski racing, with a love of freestyle skiing, having his first taste during Junior Club, and then attending the freestyle Grom camps, which really inspired him. He started competing by attending Norfolk Snowsports Club’s Farmers Jam, again winning prizes.

His freestyle training on dry slope and in snowdomes was  complemented by attending the British Freeski camps out in Saas Fee, in the summer of each year, for a few weeks. This is where he learnt to go over the big snow kickers and train in the freestyle snow parks. He was then encouraged to enter the British Freestyle Championships (the Brits), successfully achieving podiums. He competed in Slopestyle, Big Air, Rail Jam, Half Pipe and Skiercross. He also had some weeks in the spring of 2013 training in Austria with the Scottish freeski team. In 2013-14 he was selected to the England freestyle development squad, and trained both in the UK and at the England and Scotland youth development base in Mayrhofen and Hintertux with Neil MacGrain. He has also trained in 2014 with the England freestyle talent camp in Tignes.

Will has been reselected for the 2014-15 season to the freestyle team, now known as the Park and Pipe Academy.

In 2013 he spent 2 sessions at Castleford training with Peter Styring in moguls and then competed at Chill Factore, Manchester in the English and British indoor moguls championships.He found he loved this also, and came away with a Gold medal in the Youth category, on both occasions, and 4th overall. In the spring of 2014 he trained in outdoor moguls for a day with Chris David and his team in Austria and then competed in the British And English outdoor moguls Championships. He achieved a Gold in the English and a Silver in the  British and scored high enough points on both occasions to qualify for the Freestyle Junior World Championships in moguls. He was then selected and competed for GB at the Junior Worlds, being the youngest moguls competitor there.

He has been selected for the National Academy Moguls Squad 2014-15.

All in all, Will loves all aspects of skiing. Having been selected for freestyle and alpine squads in 2013-14, he is now : 2014 onwards going to concentrate on the freestyle side of the sport and hopes to take this far. He has been selected  2014-15 for both the Moguls and Freestyle  Academy Squads: an amazing achievement and a great honour. He hopes to continue to do justice to all aspects of the sport, and will continue to train hard to achieve this. He would also like to thank Head for their continued sponsorship of him, and to Chill Factore, Manchester for their sponsorship for the upcoming season.
