Our Team

New Generation Ski and Snowboard School have grown a little over the last 20 years, in both size and spirit. We now have instructor teams in over 20 resorts across the French, Swiss and Austrian Alps. As well as an awesome off-hill support team working behind the scenes in the UK and in France. They’ll make sure that your experience with us runs as smoothly as clockwork, from our first contact, during the booking process and through to your time in the resort.

Our UK reservations team are based remotely. They’ll be on hand to answer all your queries and guide you through the booking process year-round.

Then over in the snowy Alps, in Courchevel, are our overseas support staff, who will be there to help with any in-resort queries and bookings, and keep everything ticking over. So all you need to worry about is whether to pack goggles or sunnies. And where you can find the best vin chaud.

Meet The Instructor Team

With over 20 ski resorts to our name, there are far too many ski and snowboard instructors to fit onto one page.

But if you select the country below you can take a sneak peek at the instructors in that resort.

Meet The Leadership Team

TOM

I’m the managing director and one of the founders of New Gen 20 years ago. My job is to coordinate the different parts of New Gen and ensure we are moving in the same (and hopefully right) direction. I started out as an instructor and have always loved skiing and teaching. I get to visit many resorts across the Alps during the winter. I spend time with our brilliant teams and ski with clients, many of whom have become friends. I always wanted to work in a positive environment with great people and feel I have a dream job.

When I first joined the team as an instructor in Courchevel 1850 we were just beginning to understand the huge benefits and opportunity of being a community of like-minded people with shared goals and passions. My role is continuing to develop the quality of our operations, community and work environment and my hope is for you to see that in everything we do.

I have fantastic winters visiting our teams and schools and I love meeting the people who ski with us, hearing their enthusiasm for learning at all levels and having new experiences in the mountains.

ANDY

As Director of bean-counting, it’s my job to ensure that monetary resources are utilised effectively across New Gen. Prior to joining New Gen, I worked in the catering industry for many years specialising in fine dining restaurants, rail catering, and catering franchises. Despite having worked alongside some amazing Michelin starred chefs, I have learned nothing from them. None of my friends would recommend sampling my culinary skills!

My role with New Generation is to look after the Customer Support team in our Head Office in France. We offer assistance to our customers and staff members whenever it’s needed, ensure everything runs smoothly, as well as work closely with other departments to continuously look for ways in which we can improve and develop the services we provide for our customers.

My love for skiing began on a school ski trip to Italy back when I was around 14. From there I went on a few holidays to Courchevel and La Tania with friends, and every single time we fantasised about spending a winter there, as you do. One day I decided to go for it after years of dreaming about it; I quit my job, packed for a 5-month adventure and off I went. That was back in 2012! The mountains instantly felt like home and I’ve been here ever since! The skiing, the people, the beautiful surroundings, the lifestyle, and importantly my dog Rupert loves it too! For me, the 3 Valleys has it all and I’m so lucky to call it my home.

I only started skiing as an adult, when I needed a change from working in the UK. I now enjoy both skiing and snowboarding but still have plenty of room for improvement of both! I used to work full-time for a travel company, working winters in Courchevel and summers in the Ardèche. Many of the New Generation team here were already friends/ well known to me. I joined the Ops team in 2014 and now live permanently in the mountains. I have been in France since 2007 and love it!

Rachel Black

Customer Support Team Member & Scheduling Coordinator

Joined in 2021

My role is to oversee the ski school scheduling, to ensure we keep delivering the lessons that everyone loves! I am also part of the Customer Support team, so here to support our customers and instructors, year round.

I grew up with a strong connection to the outdoors; camping and hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter. I love the freedom that being in the mountains brings, and having a job that allows me to incorporate it into my lifestyle.

Before joining the office team, I trained with New Generation as a ski instructor and went on to teach in Italy and Australia. My love for the Alps then brought me back to the 3 Valleys, where I now live during the winter. Outside of work, I’ll be climbing, ski touring or dragging my friends/dogs/anyone who will join me, out on a hike!

Being born and raised in The Netherlands (that small flat country at the other side of the sea of England), my parents took me on a holiday to Austria when I was about 7 years old. And I fell in love with the mountains and I said to my father ”Daddy, when I’m older, I will live in the mountains”.

And when I got older I went climbing and hiking in Austria and Italy every year and in 2010 I signed up for a stage to climb the Mont Blanc. And than… I fell in love again. Love at first site with my High Mountain Guide! Six months later, I moved to France and I’ve lived here ever since. And when your husband is a Mountain Guide, you need to know how to ski. So I learned to ski 5 years ago. In summer I like to go walking with my dog, biking and I really love climbing and Via Ferrata.

In The Netherlands I worked as an audit controller for an insurance company. After a few years living in France I really started to miss the office live and the contact and working with others. So I applied at New Generation to use all my language skills.

Marketing & Communications

Joined in 2019

My role is to manage our social channels for our ski school & instructor training centre. To keep our website looking fresh, relevant, fun and educational. Alongside that, I reply to feedback, write blog posts, make videos and ensure we have effective communication between our team and our clients.

I absolutely love living in the mountains, whatever the season. When I’m not at my laptop, you’ll find me out camping, ski touring, biking or hiking. Challenging myself and discovering new places is what initially attracted me to skiing. Having done some ski instructor qualifications myself, I can use this knowledge to be effective at work.
