I was a ski racer in South Tyrol in my teen years, then I went on to study economics and management. I spent 3 years in the US and hold an MBA from Columbia University, New York. But my love for skiing was stronger than anything else and I was able to work as a ski instructor for my whole life. A couple of years ago I decided to retire from the business world and to be a ski instructor full time.
- Great with beginners
- Patient with improvers
- Superb for intermediates
- Fantastic with experts
- Brilliant local knowledge
What to expect in a lesson
I enjoy teaching beginners as well as advanced skiers, from snowplow to carving technique. Of course I will also be your culture and gourmet guide, after all these years I know the best mountain huts and I will tell you about the history of my mountains.
Sorry but no children and first timers/total beginners.

FAQs
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?
Any instructor that has a blue ‘verified’ tick icon on their profile has had their qualifications vetted and verified by the Maison Sport team, the level of qualification required to have a verified account on Maison Sport varies slightly by country. As follows: France – all verified instructors must carry a ‘Carte Professionelle’ licence, the qualification requirements for this licence are very high. The licence is administered by the French Government (to attain a Carte Professionelle most instructors will have studied for an average of 5 years+ to attain the correct level of qualification). Aside from requiring the instructor to have the highest level of qualification, which includes numerous teaching and technical performance diplomas in skiing or snowboarding, European mountain safety courses and the Euro speed test, the instructors are also required to have a criminal record check and a first aid certificate. Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Finland, Scotland, Spain – all verified instructors must carry a minimum level of qualification which must be at the ISIA card level or above. Instructors working independently must provide documentation to show they meet the local regulatory requirements to do so and instructors that are working for a ski school must provide details of the school they work for.
How many people can take part in the lesson?
Unless otherwise agreed with the instructor no more than 6 people can take part in a lesson, each instructor will have 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
