Josiah Wells
Freeskier
Josiah, or Jossie as he likes to be called, started skiing when he was only two years old as a result of his parents working at a Ski Resort. He says that even as a little guy he was always looking for places to jump off. By the time Jossie was eight, he had started race training, and by the age of ten he had begun his career in freeskiing.
In 2004 he travelled with his younger brother to Italy at the invitation of an Italian Ski Resort, training there over the winter. He has subsequently travelled to the Utah, USA, and Europe, to train and compete during the Northern Hemisphere winters.
Although at 17 Jossie is considered a junior, he competes in all competitions at Open Men’s level against much older competitors, but has nevertheless still acquired a world ranking in the top three, taking out several gold medals along the way.
Jossie is passionate about skiing and his dream is to become the World Champion within the next couple of years. To do this he needs to compete in as many international events as possible, in order to receive invitations to the big events, and over the next couple of years he plans to compete in the USA, Europe, Canada and Japan.
