About this book

Caroline Elliott fell in love with mountains at the age of ten during her first ski holiday in France. Once bitten by the bug, she sought out opportunities to keep returning to the snowy peaks; ski instructing, ski ballet and then ski patrol. She has been enticed back regularly to her happy place, the Alpine snowy folds.Caroline has followed a unique career following her passion and is one of the few British females to go to the French Ecole National de Ski et d'Alpinisme in Chamonix where she gained the Pisteur Secouriste 2éme degré in 2011. Not satisfied with this accolade, she trained further in the French system to become a controlled bomber for avalanche control and as an Avalanche Dog Handler with the ANENA in 2012.Starting the community interest company FjordSAR CIC in 2020, Caroline's wealth of experience and passion is now focussed on educating youngsters so that they can enjoy the mountain environment as safely as possible.'Fjord's Mountain Mission is the first in what will be a series of books set around the exciting adventures of Caroline's avalanche dog Fjord, helping whisk youngsters away to the magical mountain environment whilst helping them learn essential mountain safety knowledge.
