WHY SKI WITH ME

My Back Story

As I have dual citizenship, British and Austrian, and grew up in Tyrol, my love of the mountains goes back to my childhood. Already at a young age I gained extensive experience and knowledge as a ski instructor, mountain guide and professional skier.

If you ask me what kind of skiing I like best, my answer is steep, challenging off-piste freeriding, and the more challenging it is, the better it gets. Get out of your comfort zone and feel the high. I still love spending time skiing in Seefeld, one of the best kept secret tips for freeriders (but remember it’s a secret, so don’t tell).

WHAT DRIVES US?

If you ask me, “What do you like best about skiing and having lived in the mountains your whole life?” my answer is that I love coaching and teaching and meeting new people, regardless of their level of skiing. It’s a real privilege to help people have fun on the mountain and be a part of that experience.

An older ski instructor (Toni Seelos) once said to me, “Why do we make everything so confusing for ourselves when we only do 3 things with our skis?” I asked him what he meant, and he replied, “We’re going straight down, left and right. And for that we have to be well balanced, turn and steer our skis, so let’s just have fun and do it.” Over the years I have expanded this philosophy a bit, but this simplicity is still the core of my teaching.

When skiing on the mountain, you can use any situation to your advantage or disadvantage. To use the situation to your advantage, you need to adapt your technique and tactics to your own ability as well as to the conditions and type of snow. This is what makes good and effective skiers.

WHY SHOULD YOU SKI WITH US?

We offer an exciting approach to skiing and PERSONAL/PRIVATE COACHING ONE 2 ONE OR SMALL GROUP COACHING covering a wide range of skills and standards.

Our goal is to develop your understanding of the sport with my approach to learning and using the whole mountain to give you an exciting approach to skiing, personal/private coaching, small groups and ski camps and a wide range of skills and standards. Our goal is to encourage you on how to become more effective and adaptable to all types of terrain and snow all over the mountain and in all conditions. We use the mountain to give you the right activities/guiding and use the appropriate terrain to work together to achieve the best and most effective results for you as a skier. He who is in control is out of control and he who is out of control is in control.

My success in the world of skiing is largely based on the pursuit of excellence, helping skiers, regardless of their level or standard, develop their technical skills by understanding what they really need as opposed to what they think they want. In particular, this includes understanding your personal goals and individual learning styles, and focusing on the outcome/success rather than obstacles/difficulties.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OUR COACHING?

In short – everyone!

Graham Bell once said, “Skis are designed by experts to do a job; it’s only the person standing on them that prevents the skis from doing that job.” But you could also say that skiing hasn’t changed since the days of wooden skis and cable bindings. We still have to balance, turn and steer our skis to change direction while skiing.

We work in small groups or individually, with personal coaching, goal setting and consistent feedback to develop and improve your understanding, to give you skills and ideas that you can use to enjoy the sport for yourself; with confidence you will approach your personal goals of skiing a steep powder run or challenging yourself in ways you can only dream of.

And if, like me, you want to combine all that with the fun of gliding down the mountain and turning/changing direction anytime, anywhere, then Develop Your Skiing is for you!

WHAT LEVEL IS DEVELOP YOUR SKIING FOR?

While we wouldn’t turn anyone away and are happy to help beginners get acquainted with the snow, it’s the intermediate, advanced, expert skiers who will benefit the most. Especially those who want to improve their all mountain skills, freeriding and technical ability and gain more confidence on a whole mountain.
