Geschichte

Hi, nice to meet you.

Now that you're a member of the Snow Family, let me tell you a little bit about me and how we got here.

I come from a family of entrepreneurs who dedicated their life to sports and well-being. Dad was a tennis coach and mum's a sports physiotherapist.

It was mum and dad who taught me the values on which the Snow Family sports school is founded:

> listen to understand what students want (ask for feedback)
> the teacher adapts to the student's learning needs and background, the student should not have to adapt to a teaching style (every person is different)
> whatever the request, make it happen (go above & beyond)
> and above all: have fun!

For my part, I grew up in Switzerland and took off at 18 to travel around Europe in a VW camper van. After that I knew I wanted to work with people and I needed to be outdoors. So I came to Verbier to become a ski instructor, now about 10 years ago.

I worked for Adrenaline, Swiss Ski School and in partnership with La Fantastique for 7 years. I'm now qualified to the highest level as a ski and snowboard instructor in Switzerland. I loved working with ski schools but always felt there was more to offer to students than 1 or 2 snow sports.

In the summers, I taught tennis to kids and started my carpentry business.

Finally, I decided I would open a school that offers all weather and after-ski sports accessible to all. And here we are :-)

For the future, I would like to open a gym that offers trampoline and fun gym activities that that can prepare you for jumps and keep you fit.

Hope to hear from you soon.
