Your Story

I had my first day of ski school at the age of 3 and apparently loved every minute! As I got older and my competitive nature grew I began to develop a love for the speed and excitement of being on the edge, and then I was hooked. At the age of 17 I decided to start training towards becoming a ski instructor and by 21 I was fully qualified. In my 10 years of experience I’ve taught skiing in Italy, Switzerland and other areas of France but the Portes de Soleil is my favourite! I have a huge passion for racing, off piste skiing and touring and the Portes de Soleil has it all. I also thoroughly enjoy training and helping people improve their skiing at any level.

Top tip

My advice is always aim to be a better skier than you were yesterday and with that focus you’ll be flying!
