GB Team member Billy won the bronze during the inaugural men’s Snowboard big air during the 2018 Winter Olympics in in PyeongChang – the first ever British male snowboard athlete to win an Olympic medal.

Although he spent less than 48 hours in Scotland Billy managed to see much of what Scotland has to offer in terms of snow sports, visiting Glencoe Mountain pistes and at Nevis Range. At both locations he led sessions for some excited local youngsters in the terrain parks, encouraging them to follow his journey into the sport, which began with him learning to snowboard on artificial slopes in Southampton.

Chair of Ski-Scotland and owner of Glencoe Mountain Resort, Andy Meldrum, said: “He loved it here at Glencoe and it’s a pity he couldn’t have stayed longer. It was really rewarding to see how inspiring these youngsters found his visit.”

Billy also participated in a number of informal Q&A session with competitors in the Coe Cup on Saturday and at the Snow Goose Restaurant at Nevus Range on Sunday after joining in the now-traditional mass descent at the Ski-Scotland SnowFest weekend, leading skiers and snowboarders down the hill from the top of the Quad Chairlift.

Andy Meldrum added: “It was brilliant that Billy managed to visit Scotland during this great season, giving a tremendous boost to our up-and-coming young athletes and raising the profile of Scottish skiing and snowboarding. We do hope he’ll return any time he can fit a visit into his schedule. Haste ye back, Billy, or in translation, come back soon!”
