A Tale of Mountains and Mettle
Our heroine’s odyssey commenced on an unassuming dry slope in Ipswich. From Alpine beginnings, she heeded the call of the mountain at 15, her fate forever intertwined with the French Alpine cradle of Les Houches. Here, in this fortress of frost and skill, Taylor forged her will upon the gates of the telemark world, her summer vigils held in the English town of Hemel Hempstead.

With a spirit as fierce as the Nordic winds, Taylor faced the World Youth Telemarking Championships in Norway. By the next chapter, our intrepid athlete had rallied funds with a car boot sale, a testament to her iron-willed resolve. Victory at the British Championships was but a prologue to her fivefold reign as national champion.
The year 2013 witnessed Taylor grasping her first World Cup medal, a prize untold for any Briton before her. The World Telemarking Championships of 2015 saw her clinch a bronze, a first for her homeland, each medal a stepping stone to greater summits.
Dominion Over the Alpine Realm
The season of 2016-17 unfurled as a banner year, with Taylor amassing six World Cup medals. Her saga took her from the verdant lands of the United States to the ancient peaks of France. By 2020, she had bested the records, surmounting Jilly Curry’s legacy to reign as Britain’s most lauded skier in World Cup and World Championship arenas.

Her triumphs continued unabated in Les Houches and Mürren, with the 2023 World Championships witnessing her persistent rise, claiming silver and bronze.
