Meet The Team

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
