My Story

I grew up in Denmark and started going to Norway once a year to go skiing with my family when I was young. I then went to a boarding school specialising in sports, which I graduated from in 2021. I’ve taught skiing in Kitzbühel and at Panorama Mountain Resort in Canada, where I also spent the summer working at a kayak and canoe rental as a guide.
I have loads of experience with intermediate and advanced skiers, both kids and adults. When teaching adults, I keep explanations simple with more technical details if needed. I prioritise making drills easy to grasp to ensure everyone understands before moving on.
When teaching kids, I always strive to make sure the kids have a good time so that they will fall in love with skiing and will want to keep it up.

Top Tip

Bruce Lee once said: “I fear not the man who has practised 10.00 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practised one kick 10.000.” This can be used in skiing as well. Take your time to practice the basics and build a solid foundation because it will get easier to build on top of that foundation. You can’t build anything on a weak foundation.
