Mark Frary is winter sports editor at Times Online. He has written about skiing for many publications, including the Times and Ski & Board magazines, on everything from skiing-obsessed nuclear physicists to learning to drive a piste-basher.
He lived in Geneva for several years, skiing for much of the winter in the neighbouring resorts, and has visited resorts all over the world. Fondue is his favourite food and regularly eats it in summer, despite the protestation of purists who view it as an exclusively winter dish. He has several favourite resorts including a soft-spot for Les Contamines in France.
He puts his interest in the mountains down to being brought up in Norfolk which, as Noel Coward so succinctly said, is “very flat”.
He is also the author of five books, including The Origins of the Universe for Dummies and Freaky Science.
