About

My Name is Michael Norrie and I have been skiing since the age of four. It is my greatest

passion, dream and a joy I have pursued all my life.

My Competitive Career has had many stepping stones.

It begun with the Mt Ruapehu Race team at the age of 15. During these years I progressed

technically, competing in the ANC cup during my 2nd year and achieving podiums at

the North Island Cup.

My next stepping stone was into formalised instructor training at the age of 16. I achieved my

level 1 and 2 NZSIA in quick succession – despite being too young to technically sit the exams.

Two full time seasons teaching

in NZ and Canada left me wanting

more out of my skiing career.

It wasn’t enough to simply stay

on the snow.

I begun my competitive free ride career with a 5th place In the 2009 Export Extreme Free Ride world tour comp.

I was awarded the most promising amateur and

walked away with a hunger for more.

The past season I have competed in the NZ leg of the Free Ride world tour as well as local events:

―NZ Open 2010―K2 Chill Series 2010 – 11 Place Qualifier―Black Diamond Free Ride Comp 2010 – 8th Place―NZ Junior Nationals 2010 – 3rd Place

Over all I was ranked 14thin the country, and achieved a highest rank of 64th

in the world

This season I plan again on competing across the country.

With me on this journey I will be taking my sponsors, maximising exposure through public interaction on and off the slopes, as well as at competitive events.

With out these sponsors, I know I would not be able to do what I do, and it is my absolute aim to maximise their return on their personal investment in me.

I will be working as hard as a can to achieve top level results, and my goals for podium finishes.

What sponsors get by investing in me is the exposure of a commanding presence on the ski hill.

Where ever I go skiing I get questioned about who I ski for. I field constant questions

about what ski gear people should by. This word of mouth is the best advertising a brand can get.

If you have any questions please contact me using the website, or else see my C.V. for details.

I hope you have enjoyed this portfolio, and I look forward to seeing many of you on the hill!

May the season ahead be fruitful and injury free.

Ciao

Michael Norrie
