Meet The Team
Welcome to our family, est 2010
About The Snow School
The Snow School was founded in 2010 with a simple idea: to create a ski school that felt personal, friendly and more like a family.
From the beginning, we wanted to really get to know our customers and make every lesson individual, whether taking your first turns, building confidence or looking to take your skiing further.
More than 15 years later, those values are still at the heart of everything we do. Some of the children we first met on the mountain were as young as three years old and are now in their twenties, this feels so special to us. Watching them grow up, develop as skiers and return with their families year after year is something we're incredibly proud of.
Our own family has grown too. We now have two boys, Maxim, 9 and Leo, 7. Watching them learn to ski has shaped the way we teach. They've reminded us that children and adults alike learn best when they're having fun, building confidence and enjoying the adventure.
The Snow School may have grown since 2010, but our philosophy hasn't changed, great teaching, a personal approach and a genuine family feel.
We look forward to skiing with you soon!
At The Snow School, we believe that great ski lessons are about more than just improving your technique. They're about building confidence, having fun and making unforgettable memories in the mountains.
As a family-run business, we've been welcoming skiers of all ages and abilities to the beautiful Three Valleys since 2010. Our team of friendly, experienced and fully qualified English-speaking instructors share one thing in common — a genuine love for teaching and the mountains.
Whether it's your child's first time on skis, you're finding your confidence on the slopes or you're looking to take your skiing to the next level, our instructors make every lesson enjoyable, personal and tailored to you.
Every member of our teaching team is fully qualified, DBS-checked and First Aid trained, so you can relax knowing you're in safe, experienced hands.
We're incredibly proud to be ranked #1 on TripAdvisor, with over 500 genuine five-star reviews from happy skiers and families who have shared their mountain adventures with us.
The people you will be skiing with
Daniel
Born in Milan, I have been skiing since the age of three. What began as a childhood passion for the mountains and sport has grown into a rewarding career that I have pursued with dedication and enthusiasm for over 12 years. As a qualified Alpine Ski Instructor and former FIS athlete, my goal is to share not only my technical expertise but also my love for skiing and the unique experience of being in the mountains. I believe that every skier is different, which is why I tailor my lessons to each individual's abilities, goals, and confidence. I am patient, determined and always focused on safety, I aim to create a positive and supportive learning environment where technical progression, personal achievement and enjoyment go hand in hand. For me, skiing is about more than improving technique. It's about building confidence, overcoming challenges, discovering your potential, and, most importantly, having fun along the way. My passion for teaching sport doesn't end when the ski season finishes. During the summer, I teach windsurfing, wingfoiling, windsurf foiling, surfing, and stand-up paddleboarding. From the mountains to the sea, my philosophy remains the same: to inspire others through sport, help every individual reach their potential, and make every lesson a safe, rewarding, and unforgettable experience.
Filippo
Filippo My name is Filippo, I’m 22 years old, and skiing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started skiing at the age of three in Limone Piemonte, where my passion for the mountains and winter sports was born. After a few years, I joined a ski club and began competing, an experience that helped shape me both as an athlete and as a person, teaching me discipline, determination, and commitment. At 18, I decided to follow my dream and enrolled in the ski instructor course, which I completed in just one year. Since the 2023/24 season, I’ve been working as a ski instructor, turning my greatest passion into my profession. I believe that when you love what you do, it shows. I approach every day on the slopes with energy and a smile, always aiming to create a fun, positive, and memorable experience for my clients. Outside of skiing, I’m an active and versatile person with a passion for sports, motors, and nature. Living by the sea, I enjoy spending my free time at the beach, playing padel, football, beach volleyball, and staying active whenever possible — I simply don’t like standing still. I look forward to meeting you and sharing great moments on the slopes.
Giulio
I’m Giulio, a ski instructor who started skiing at the age of three and grew up in the Dolomites, where skiing is part of everyday life. I qualified in my early twenties and am now in my sixth season of teaching, working with all levels from beginners to advanced skiers, in both private and group lessons with international clients. My teaching focuses on strong fundamentals, clear technique, and building confidence on snow. Outside of teaching, I’m passionate about the mountain environment and spend most of my free time outdoors through activities such as ski touring, mountaineering, via ferrata and climbing. I also work as a data scientist, which influences my analytical and structured approach to coaching.
Matteo
My love and passion for skiing have brought me to where I am today. It all began in the Aosta Valley, where, at just two years old, I put on my first pair of skis for fun. During my military service, I was part of the military ski team, where consistency, dedication and hard training helped me become a ski instructor in 2001 and, shortly afterwards, a Level 2 ski coach. I also earned my PADI Dive Instructor certification. These experiences have given me the opportunity to travel while working, discover different cultures and interact with people from all walks of life. My goal is to share the importance of sport and help everyone reach a level of skiing that allows them to fully appreciate the mountains. Despite having spent many years as a ski instructor, my passion for this sport continues to grow. Every season brings me unforgettable emotions and new experiences. My journey has also allowed me to teach visually impaired children to ski and to give a mother the joy of seeing her son, who is on the autism spectrum, not only skiing but also feeling happy, enthusiastic and eager to return the following day and every day after that. Sport has no limits and knows no age. I hope to ski with you soon!
Paul
I learned to ski on dry slopes and soon became a member of my local race team in Brentwood, Essex. From the age of six to fifteen, I travelled across the UK competing in races, which laid the foundation for my technical skills and love for the sport. My passion for snow sports truly took off in 2003, when I spent my first winter season in the Three Valleys. It was here that I trained to become a ski instructor and where I’ve spent the majority of my professional career. I gained my BASI ISTD qualification in 2010, and since then I’ve built strong, long-lasting relationships with my clients, many of whom return year after year. Outside of winter, I’m passionate about cycling and regularly take part in road races — including the Marmotte, one of the most iconic and challenging events in the Alps.
Riccardo B
I’ve been skiing since the age of three, with a background in alpine ski racing that took me to the international FIS circuit. Alongside racing, I competed in freeride events, developing a strong balance between technique and instinct. Certified as a Ski Instructor in 2011, I’ve coached skiers of all ages and levels and have previously worked as a coach at the Super Sci Milano Ski Club, helping young athletes grow both technically and mentally. My goal is to combine solid fundamentals with enjoyment, ensuring every lesson is effective, engaging, and unforgettable. Interesting fact: When I was four, my ski instructor Carletto told my mother that one day I would become a strong competitor. Ten years later, at the Italian Championships, I crossed the finish line in first place during the second run — and there he was, my coach Carletto, now 80 years old, watching with pride.
Riccardo T
My name is Riccardo, I’m 30 years old and I have been skiing since I was a little child. I started racing at the age of 7yrs and spent fourteen years competing, until I finished my racing career at 21. For the last ten years, I have stayed close to the mountains, working in Italy as both a ski instructor and a coach. What I enjoy most about teaching is that every skier is different. I love introducing beginners to their first turns and watching their confidence grow, but I also have a lot of fun skiing with experienced skiers and helping them find that little bit extra in their technique. I believe skiing should be about improving, but also about having fun, exploring the mountain and enjoying the feeling of moving on snow. When I am not skiing, you will probably find me reading philosophy or poetry, listening to music, or simply thinking about things that may or may not need thinking about. I am excited to meet you, ski together and share some of what makes skiing such a special part of my life.
