I love sharing my passion for skiing. Everyone is different and I enjoy tailoring my session to indivduals so that they can get exactly what they want from their skiing holiday.

I first learnt to ski in Canada where I lived as a child for a couple of season. Having caught the skiing bug I have instructed on dry ski slopes part time while at school and when studying at Durham Unviersity. I own and run a ski clothing company for girls (www.ashbashdesigns.com) as I believe looking good on the slopes can only add to your skiing style! This is my second season with New Generation and I am looking forward to another fantastic season.

Who Inspires You?

The great thing about my job is that you meet lots of inspirational people! From people in my lessons who do something incredibly brave that they have been scared of, to people who have pursued their dreams and enjoy their life to the full. 

Top Tip:

Relax, enjoy the mountains and have fun! When you are relaxed it is easier to balance on your skis and you won’t get as tired.

Client Feedback:

Lesley was a great teacher - friendly, relaxed, adapting her style to suit our ability, and had lots of ideas and exercises for getting over what she was trying to teach us. She also explained WHY things happened - or indeed didn't happen - when we ski'd, so that we could clearly see how and why our technique affected our skiing performance. Our skiing improved hugely as a result of what she taught us, and we thoroughly enjoyed the lessons. We would hire Lesley again as a teacher if she's still there next season. (Webmaster: Yes she is!)
