GEOFF BROWNE, 42, SPRINGFIELD, NZ

Browny has been a friend of Kingswood Skis since it was just a sparkle in our eye. An electrician by trade, ski bum by design, Browny is a non-stop ideas man and a champion joke teller. Browny knows the club fields like the back of his hand. He's always up for a roadie or a mission and is valued for his commitment to safety.

Browny's best (clean) ski jokes:

Q: what is the difference between a snowboard and an onion.

A: You tend to cry when you cut an onion in half...

Q: how many ski-instructors does it take to change a lightbulb ?

A: 7 - one to change it and 6 to stand around and say "nice turns, nice turns ,nice turns"
