It may not be the Alps but this skier is more than happy to dig out his skis and head around Harrogate in the snow.

Harrogate resident Tomas Munoz has become a familiar sight on snow days in his signature bright orange jumpsuit.

You may have seen him in videos or photos, or even in person skiing by your window as he makes his way to the Stray.

There has been lots of snow in the Harrogate district so far this year, which means he has had plenty of opportunities to brush up his skills.

Speaking to the Stray Ferret on the Stray today, he said:

"I am a ski fanatic, I love skiing. I have been to France and Switzerland for ski trips but mostly to the United States.
"No ski trips over the last year. It's a little bit of a let down but I get out and get my hour of exercise a day so it's very fun.
"I am grateful every time I see snow out the window so I want to take advantage of it. For sure, I am just about as excited as the kids when it starts to snow."


Mr Munoz, who has about 30 years of skiing experience, says kids love to see him on his skis and will often laugh and take videos.
