Benjamin Alexander is a mid-30’s racer.  He is working his tail off to qualify to represent Jamaica as a ski racer in the next Olympic games.  He’s admittedly inspired by the legendary bobsledders who preceded him.  But this badass has been skiing only 5 years, only one (yes “1”) of which has he been racing.  You’re going to love hearing about his quest for FIS points and the rigors of coming to the racing party about 30 years late.  This lively interview will take you from England to Revelstoke, from Brazil to Whistler, back to Rev, heliskiing Mica, training in Jackson Hole, on to Big Sky and Park City, and a whole bunch of places on the 2021 map of his future.

On another note, Benji may have logged 103K vert at Revelstoke, but he’s aiming for 123K at Jackson.

This former international DJ will entertain you with his rich life history.  Enjoy our conversation with Benji On The Lift.
