I started skiing a long time ago. I feel so lucky being in the mountains and helping others enjoy it all too. Best job ever. 

I was 3, living in Norway. Cross country skis. It was a part of daily life, we used to ski to school and make ski jumps at break times. Tried Alpine skiing when I was 16 and didn’t like it at first. I was rubbish. Then I discovered the Alps, got some good instruction and haven’t looked back since. 

Grimentz and Zinal are very good, especially doing a bit of ski touring to access some great secret spots. 

Meeting people, helping others do things they didn’t think they would be able to do. Making people smile. I feel it’s a privilege being a part of that. 

I’m a keen road cyclist. Love the training, the discipline, the nature and scenery. We’ve done some cycling trips for our skiing clients, so many cross-overs between the two sports. Watch this space for more bike trips!
