We went, we skied and we conquered 456km’s from Murray Bridge to Renmark in South Australia over 3 days as part of Ski For Life 2026! Daniel is new to Ben’s Ski For Life team this year, so the two of them sit down after the dust has settled to crack a couple of cans and recap what was an epic event, running through their highlights and the impact that it had.
Daniel also shares why he was so keen on getting involved in Ski For Life in the first place, opening up on his own battles with the black dog and unpacking plenty of life lessons that he has learned on the fly that plenty of us will be able to relate to.
