Safe Progression
I avoid “sink or swim” moments. I’ll literally walk beside you, softening your falls and ensuring you understand the biomechanics of your board and body.

Building Intuition
Through tailored exercises, I help you find your unique style so you’re not just mimicking movements, but feeling them.

Respecting the Mountain
Snowboarding is as much about challenging oneself as it is about respecting one’s limitations—and the mountain. I won’t send you down a run until you are truly ready to own it.

Trick Breakdown
We deconstruct complex movements into smaller, manageable sections—mastering each piece on dry land before linking them together on the slope.

Active Visualization
You’ll learn to “see” the line or the trick in your mind first, training your body to reproduce it naturally.

Specialized Drills
We’ll draw on a series of progressive drills I’ve developed, covering specific aspects of freestyle riding to build your muscle memory and confidence

Technical Carving
We master edge control, weight shifts, and timing to create that perfect, effortless arc.

Terrain Reading
You’ll learn the theory behind snow conditions and mountain topography, allowing you to ride with confidence in any conditions.

There’s something special about the first turns. I remember it well, which is why I make sure your introduction to snowboarding is as smooth as possible. We’ll start with the very basics: finding the right rental setup, getting to know your gear, and understanding how everything works together. Then, we’ll hit the snow. I’ll follow with step-by-step guidance on turning, stopping, and riding the lift with confidence—without overwhelming jargon. My goal is to help you feel comfortable on the slopes by the end of our session, excited to learn more and with a solid foundation to build on. And we’ll celebrate the little victories along the way, because those first successes are crucial for opening the world of snowboarding.

Carving is where snowboarding turns into an art. It’s not just about making turns—it’s about feeling the board almost as an extension of your body. To achieve that, we’ll begin by assessing your current skills and gear, making sure everything is dialed in for the conditions. From there, we’ll focus on the details: how to shift your weight, when to engage your edges, and how to read the terrain to make every turn feel effortless. I’ll choose slopes that match your level and the best time of day to ensure the snow is just right. And as we fine-tune your technique, you’ll start to feel it—the rhythm, the flow, that moment when the board just glides beneath you.

Freestyle is all about expression. Whether you want to take your riding to the air, the rails, or just add a little creativity to your turns, my role is to make sure you’re equipped to get there. We’ll start by talking through your goals: What tricks are you aiming to land? What’s your comfort level? From there, we’ll map out a plan—either for a single session or a multi-day progression. I’ll guide you through the safety rules of the parks in Zermatt and Cervinia, show you the best spots to practice, and use video feedback to help you see and refine your technique and keep track of your progress.
