Winter Sports Background
Skiing.
I began ski teaching in Autumn 2001 following a period of intensive coaching. Further coaching and instructor training lead to my current ski coaching and instructing qualifications.
I usually ski throughout the Winter 'on snow' split between teaching, training and skiing for fun with friends.
Teaching Skiing.
When in the UK I teach selected sessions at the Madeley Snowboard and Ski centre in Telford Shropshire. Madeley offers skiers and boarders an 80 meter dryslope.
Each Winter I teach in Europe, working selected weeks in several resorts, including Pila, Courmayeur, La Thuile or Baqueira-Beret.
One of my favourite places to coach and instruct skiing is Baqueira-Beret, the exclusive Spanish resort in the Pyrenees. Baqueira is frequented by the Spanish royal family and assorted celebrities. Baqueira is a great resort for all levels of skier offering a selection of accessible blues and reds for 'cruising' while also offering a huge selection of 'inbound' off piste.
Snowboarding.
In 2001 I started flirting with snow boarding, and have been recently completed the BASI Level 1 instructing qualification and regularly teach in the UK when at home.
I've just upgraded my board to a Santa Cruz GLX Limited with Flow Pro 11 F.'s.
