This is Gordon’s second season with New Gen in Verbier and seventh season teaching on snow. Having been in Verbier for many years, he has come back once again as he still enjoys the superb terrain, friendly locals and of course his fantastic clients. In the summer, he enjoys hillwalking, golf and occasionally waterskiing (poorly.)

Client Feedback:

I was really impressed with our instructor (Gordon) - he listened to what we wanted to acheive and really helped us progress in a very short space of time. I would definitely book with NG again. (Winter 2009/10)

Organisation good, re-aasigned my daughter to another class so she could progress faster. Very pleasant and effective instructor (Gordon Porteous, Verbier). Result excellent. Would pick a ski resort for next year partly on whether NewGen were there. (Winter 2009/10)
