Julia Pickering

Adventurer, snowboard mountaineer, explorer, athlete, sports model and expedition leader. That’s six people – or one Julia Pickering. It’s amazing what you can achieve when you’re honourable enough to admit you haven’t got the talent for childhood dreams of rock stardom.

Vet, bilingual lawyer and international spy also went by the board when she answered the call of the snowy slopes. Today she’s brave enough to climb to the top of high and lonely places – and intelligent enough to know how to speed to the bottom in one piece.
