Alastair has been skiing since he was 5 years old, participating in race training at his local dry-slope for around 10 years before becoming an instructor there. While completing his degree in Physiology and Sports Science at The University of Glasgow he worked part time as an instructor and has now been teaching skiing for 8 years.

For the last 6 years he has been heavily involved with Glasgow Ski Racing, coaching the club’s up and coming racers of all ages both in Scotland and camps abroad. During the summer months he can’t help but return to his roots to teach, coach and take instructor training on the dry-slope.

 Having spent seasons in Cardrona (New Zealand), Alpe D’Huez and Verbier he’s very excited to be returning to Verbier for another season!

Client Feedback:

I really enjoyed my lessons with New Generation Ski School. My instructor, Ally Brown, was a great teacher; he was helpful, friendly and patient. My skiing improved far more than I expected, I went from being a complete calamity to reasonably competent in just three days!
