Tomaso Tavola

I grew up in Lecco, Italy, where skiing has been a central part of my life since childhood. I started competing at the age of six with Sci Club Lecco and progressed through to FIS level, racing in all disciplines, with Slalom as my strongest.

Growing up in the mountains shaped who I am: I love speed, carving, and the freedom of being outdoors, and skiing gave me unforgettable experiences and friendships across the Alps. Teaching felt like a natural next step after my competitive career, allowing me to share my passion for outdoor sports with others.

I am an Italian ski instructor and Italian National Coach Level 2 (STF2), with a specialisation in teaching people with disabilities, and I have 11 years of experience working in resorts such as Val Thorens, Méribel, and Courchevel, focusing on piste skiing and race training. After the Covid lockdown, I moved to England to pursue PGA training, earning a degree in Professional Golf Studies from the University of Birmingham. I am now a PGA professional golfer, playing and teaching golf, while staying active through CrossFit and mountain sports.

I speak English, Italian, and Spanish, and I feel fortunate to build a career around teaching, movement, and the outdoors.
