"ESF: authenticity"
"Ski comfortably"
Originally from
the Hautes Alpes, I started skiing before I even knew how to walk and have never
stopped.
I have been sharing
my passion for skiing through teaching for 36 years now. In a methodical, fun
and empathic way, I ensure my students are confident, make progress and enjoy
themselves.
I continued to
practice ski by competing and achieved some regional results, but it is the
love of skiing and the mountains that inspired me to become an instructor.
I particularly
appreciate the sensation of freedom that skiing provides and the space and
beauty of the 3 valleys that provides a home for this sport.
I arrived at ESF La
Tania at its creation in1992, and the resort (station) has been evolving ever
since over the last 26 years.
My best teaching
memories come from the smiles and gratitude of my students.
I skied in
Switzerland and Italy but my favourite pistes (runs) and favourite spots are in
the Courchevel / La Tania area: La Combe des Pylônes and the Dou des Lanches.
When I am not
teaching skiing, I am a mountain guide.
Other passions
outside skiing include: surfing, sailing and hiking.
The most
beautiful tracks in the world, for me, are: La Grave in Meije, Le Tunel in Alpe
d'huez, Grand Couloir in Courchevel, Mur des Suisses in Avoriaz and Grande
Pente in Les Arcs.
