Hello, I'm Abi. I have been skiing in Courchevel since aged 3, the mountains are my home! I did lots of ski racing with both Courchevel ski club and the British team, where my favorite disciplines were Giant Slalom and Super G, the faster the better !
Along side my ski qualifications, I graduated with a Sports Science degree from Grenoble University. When I am not skiing in Courchevel, I live next to Lake Annecy.

I have been teaching skiing for 8 years now and enjoy teaching all levels of skiing from the little first timers to race techniques, or even just going for a blast through the tress off piste!

Please don't hesitate to get in touch for any more info! I am flexible with lesson times and meeting points (i.e. your lunch spot or hotel)

Excellent with all abilities
Great with beginners
Fun children’s lessons
Superb for intermediates
Fantastic with experts

Abi took my 9 year old daughter for 3 morning sessions in La Tania. My daughter absolutely loved her and was delighted to go off with her in the mornings. She progressed so much and increased in confidence to the point where she can now completely keep up with the older children in our group, and with better style too! Abi was just as warm and friendly as she looks, so smiley and fun, absolutely the sort of person you would want to teach your child to ski. Thanks Abi!

My friend and I arranged a two hour complete beginner lesson with Abi. We were both very impressed with with how she communicated every aspect of the lesson from putting on the ski's to making the first snow plough turns. Very friendly and helpful with useful tips to build beginners confidence.

Abi was simply fantastic, and really worked hard to help our group of mixed ages, including a 6 year old. She was clear and supportive in her coaching and guidance, but also made it a lot of fun! She was attentive to those needing extra support and was able to keep tabs on everyone! She has enabled our group of 1st time skiera to be confident in the green runs in our area, and feel able to attempt the more challenging ones. Her extensive knowledge of the area enabled her to show us a few different runs that we could use and it made the rest of our stay even better, if returning to this area will definitely book Abi again!! Thank you!!

Abi is a complete STAR!! Just back from a week in Meribel where Abi very quickly brought our three 9/10 year olds boys, from complete beginner skiers to being able to complete a red run in just three morning lessons!! The boys absolutely loved her and we can't fault her - great communication throughout, always professional, very warm and personable. Such a joy to see our boys loving their skiing and having the confidence (& skills/control) to tackle anything!! Thank you Abi for the best start. We'll see you again I'm sure x

We booked Abi for 3 days to teach our grow of 3 14 year old girls. Absolutely great experience. Booking like this is more expensive than ESF but a world of difference. Wish we'd tried it years ago. Abi was great fun and the girls developed so much over those 3 days. Thank you!

Where is the meeting point?

You can arrange the meeting point with your chosen instructor by using the Maison Sport messaging system. We recommend agreeing this before you book your lessons, but it can always be arranged at a later date. The instructor should be able to suggest somewhere that is convenient for you both.

What qualifications do the instructors have?

All instructors listed on Maison Sport have been verified by their nation's governing body, be it the French Government's Department of Sport, Swiss Ski Federation or The Italian Winter Sports Federation, so you can rest assured you will be in safe hands when you’re on the slopes.

How many people can take part in the lesson?

Generally no more than 8 people, each instructor has their own policy for this, so it is best to just double check with them by sending a message. Most instructors won't charge extra if there is more than 1 person taking part in the lesson, but always best to check with them before booking.s

How do I book?

If you are on a desktop computer or laptop, you will see a box on the right hand side of the screen which contains various lesson options and pricing, simply select the lessons you would like and then click 'Book now', then follow the instructions to make payment.
