I'm Alessandro Trapani,
Ski, Windsurf, Kitesurf instructor and last but not least Engineer. I grew up in Bergamo, a city in the north of Italy. I started skiing when I was 5 years old thanks to my parents who have a strong passion for it. Luckily Bergamo it's surrounded by three valleys and we have many little ski resorts just 1h away from the town, where I skied for almost all my childhood. I joined a ski club in my town quite late when I was 10y old, I competed till 15, then I stopped doing it intensely in order to focus on my education. I have been teaching skiing since 2015 and watersports from 2016. My favourite piste is Streif in Kitzbühel, where one of the most exciting downhill competitions of the world championships takes place. Tip: Transition from snow plough to parallel , try to lift up the uphill tail of the ski and move it closer to downhill one. The best part of skiing is simply enjoying it with friends and family whether you are on a red, blue or off-piste.

Accept your sad, grim, dark fate.
I'ts gonna happen anyway, so you might aswell take it like a champ.
Jokes aside, snow is soft; relax and you won't feel a thing! My favourite thing about skiing is the tranquillity and silence; but hey, who am I kidding, if you ask me to get to the Folie Douce I love it just the same!

Hi, my name is Enrica. I’m an Italian ski instructor, I was born and raised in Piemonte. I learnt to ski at the age of 4 in a very small resort called Frabosa Soprana, where I also trained in the local ski club until I became a ski instructor. After that I felt much more freedom in exploring the mountains and enjoying skiing all over the world. Which brought me ultimately to Courchevel. My favorite slope over there is probably Biolley, it’s nice and wide and “hilly” and I can have fun carving it all out. My favorite tip is to keep the eyes up, and look at the direction you’re going. That also helps you enjoy the mountains and the nature around you, which is my favorite part of skiing.

I’m from a small town in the Italian Alps, very close to the border with Switzerland. I don’t remember when I started skiing, I just know that I always did it, I started with my dad in the ski resort close to home when I was 3. From the age of five I joined the local ski club and I’ve been racing till I was seventeen. After that I trained to be a ski instructor and in 2017 I was fully qualified to teach. I’m so happy to be in the 3 valleys and I love Courchevel, when I ski on my own I always like to go to the vizelle gondola, enjoy the view and ski down Saulire slope. Skiing it’s a part of me, I love the feeling that I have when I’m floating on the powder snow and when I’m carving on the slopes. But I also like to stop for a drink and appreciate the incredible landscape that I have around me. So make sure your boots are comfy, enjoy your days on the ski and try to make the best of it.

I grew up in the Italian Apennines, very close to a ski resort on the
Gran Sasso Mountain range. I took up skiing at the age of 4 thanks
to my parents who have always been into skiing. My first time
skiing was with my father in 1987, we were on a steep icy slope
behind the house, which now looks absolutely flat. Following on, I
trained and gained experience in Alto Adige and had numerous
competitive successes in central Italy. In 2005 I became a full
certified Italian ski instructor and I have been teaching
professionally ever since. I worked in the Italian Alps for ten years,
predominantly in Sestriere. In 2012 I spent two summers in the
Southern Hemisphere, Australia, where I worked as a ski instructor
as well. In 2015 I moved to France where I started to work for
British Ski Schools. In 2018 I have finally joined Supreme!!!
FAVORITE PISTE IN RESORT
There are so many good runs in Courchevel, my favorite one is
actually a blue run from the top of Plantrey chairlift to La Tania
where you can ski through the woods. It is quite a long run, the
snow it is always good and it is never too busy. That is where I
would normally head to first if we get a foggy day.
TOP TIP
Never forget that every expert was once a beginner. Dream big and
start now!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF SKING
First of all, being surrounded by mountains is just absolutely
breath taking. Skiing itself, is a great feeling of freedom which
feels like dancing to me. Finally, stepping inside a cozy rustic
chalet at the end of a long day, drinking good wine and enjoying
yummy food is also my favorite part of skiing.

I love everything about skiing especially the feeling of freedom and joy I get every time I have the chance of being between the mountains. Off piste and powder are what I love the most.

I come from Varese but since I finished high school I’ve been living in Bormio and still now I’m living there. One of the best places of Italian Alps. I started skiing in Bormio. I started skiing when I was 3 years old with my grandfather, and then he passed the baton to my father, who has been following me until the end of my racing path. I started racing in 2013 when I was 13, and I ended my career in 2022. I’ve been spending all these years travelling around the Alps and even more far away. One of the most comprehensive experience have been the University Games in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. I also had the privilege to grow up technically and emotionally and now that I quit racing I understand the reason why I’ve been racing for all these years. My favourite piste is Combe du Vallon. You won’t have a bad day until you are on snow. It can sound ordinary but the best part of skiing is the first run in the early morning, with the sound of crunchy snow under the feet and no people around you. It feels like doing yoga four the soul.

I had the luck of being born and raised in a tiny mountain village in the Alps surrounding Lake Como. Thanks to my family I have started skiing very early at 3 years old.
At 7 years I’ve joined the Italian SkiClub, getting into some minor competitions. I’ve stayed for approx. 10 year when my desire was to become a ski instructor and in 2017 I’ve completed the course with AMSI. In 2017 I started working as a ski instructor in the nearby ski resort Piani Di Bobbio (LC). It is a small ski area with mostly easy slopes and so it’s the perfect place for beginners. As a teacher, I had the opportunity to gain experience for myself on how to teach from the very basics to intermediate levels.
My first international experience was in France in the same year, at the Les Deux Alpes ski resort. Here I was part of the instructors’ team for the European Ski School whose customers where typically from US or UK, and for the following 3 winters I have normally worked there for 2 months during high season. This huge international ski-area is frequented by skiers of every level: my customers ranged from 2 to 4 years old kids till people perfectly able to nail a black slope

I grew up near Prato Nevoso (a small resort near Torino) where I always skied.
I started skiing at 3 years old in Vars.
I started as an alpine skier, but then at the age of 12 I switched to freeski, and at 14 I moved to the dolomitic area to ski the best snow park in Italy. I have done many competitions in both sports.
My favourite piste is the snowpark.
I remind my clients we are here for fun, enjoy skiing!
I really like the variety of this sport, you can really do whatever you want, the only limit is your imagination!

Hi, I’m Bianca!
I was born in 1999 in Genoa, where I also grew up.
I started skiing in Claviere, TO, when I was 4 years old.
Since then I have been part of Claviere Ski Club, as getting older, I started giant and slalom giant races.
When I was 19, in 2018, I became a ski instructor and started my career.
The thing I like the most about skiing is contact with nature.
Every day I become part of something bigger than me and I feel completely part of the world surrounding me.
I feel alive.
Skiing has this effect on me.
The advice I could give is, once on the snow, close your eyes, take a deep breath and fully enjoy the beauty of the mountain.
Have fun :)

I grew up in Stourbridge, UK.
I learnt to ski in Mottaret, 3 Vallees, France and Tamworth SnowDome.
I learnt to ski from 2 years old. While growing up, our family holidays were ski holidays. It is safe to say we all had the ski bug. I took my first ski Instructor courses when I turned 21 and I've been teaching ever since.
My favourite piste in resort: National, Piste 8. Is a challenging steep black slope. It is serviced by the Patrullarve chairlift for a quick turnaround to maximise ski time.
Favourite tip: Braquage - Very useful skill to have in your arsenal for getting down steep, narrow slopes.
Powder days are my favourite! I know it's an obvious cliche but you just have to love those days.

Hi there, my name is Robert and I grew up in a ski resort in Romania, where I was introduced to the sport at 4 years old.
I have been skiing every winter and from 2016 I became a professional ski instructor.
My favorite piste here in Zermatt is the White Hare, cataloged as a red run, it has many rollers and open carving spots
with a breathtaking view.
The most important thing when skiing I think is just having a good time and feeling great on the slopes.
My favorite part of skiing is when my clients have that 'AHA' moment and we can enjoy the time together.

I grew up in Nottingham, UK. I started skiing at 9 years old when I gatecrashed my older brothers’ school trip. They weren’t very happy about it but I was because I had found my love of skiing. I moved to Zermatt four years ago and fell in love with teaching skiing as much as skiing itself. Being able to share my passion with others and be outside everyday amongst the mountains and nature is a dream.
Favourite piste: I love Piste 4, the run down to Patrullarve chair in Sunnegga, skiing through the snow-covered trees with lots of fun side hits to jump off… it doesn’t get better!
Top tip: The best skier on the mountain is the one having the most fun
Favourite part of skiing: feeling complete peace, breathing in the fresh air, sun on your skin and the only thing you can hear is skis on the snow

I started skiing in Italy, in Claviere, a small village in the alps. I competed in ski racing until I was 18 and then I got into ski mountaineering and freeriding to fully
experience the mountains. In Val d'isére i like to ski down from La Face and in tignes i like to carve in the red slopes down from
the 'La grande motte' glacier. The best tip I give to my clients is to separate the upper body from the lower body. When skiing I enjoy the days blessed by the mountains. In my spare time I like to read, listen to music, climb and plan my trips

I started skiing in Limone Piemonte. Started at 3 and a half, raced from 6 to 18, as soon as I could do I turned passion into work and became a ski instructor at 19. My favourite piste is Genepy. The best advice I give to my clients is to feel your skis as part of your body and not as tools.The best thing for me is skiing in the morning at sunrise when you hear nothing but your skies cutting the snow, that’s when you really connect with mountain. Just graduated in Physiotherapy and in love with outdoor sports. Willing to find a way of living life that allows me to do all the things I love, not gonna surrender!
