  • The Winter Season Ends, but the Blog Stays Alive

    The Winter Season Ends, but the Blog Stays Alive

    It’s official—my winter ski season has come to an end, and I’ve finally made my way back home to Liguria, where the sea replaces the snow, and the surfboard takes the place of my skis. After months of early mornings, perfect turns, powder days, and unforgettable moments on the slopes, it’s time for a little break 🌊

    I want to thank each and every one of you—clients, friends, fellow instructors, and everyone I met on this journey—for making this winter truly special. Your energy, passion, and smiles made this season one of the best yet. I couldn’t have asked for more ❤️

    But just because the lifts have stopped turning doesn’t mean the blog takes a break! I’ll keep sharing new blog posts every Tuesday or Wednesday, just like during the season. Expect stories about skiing, mountain life, gear tips, off-season insights, and maybe a little bit of surf and sunshine from the coast.

    For now, it’s time to rest and recharge, and enjoy some waves before jumping back into planning for next winter—which, believe it or not, isn’t far off. Time flies, and I can’t wait to hit the slopes with all of you again soon.

    Stay tuned, and thanks again for an amazing season.
    See you in the waves… or on the snow soon!

  • Spring Skiing, Wildlife Surprises, and a Snowstorm Incoming

    Spring Skiing, Wildlife Surprises, and a Snowstorm Incoming

    Spring Skiing and Wildlife Encounters Ahead of a Historic Snowfall

    Spring skiing has its own unique charm—not just for the longer days and softer snow, but also for the incredible wildlife encounters that become more frequent as the season changes. Just the other day, while skiing high up in the Alps, I had the amazing chance to spot an ibex (stambecco) standing proudly on a ridge, watching the skiers below. Marmots have also begun to emerge, filling the alpine silence with their cheerful whistles. For nature lovers, this is the season to keep your eyes open while gliding down the slopes!

    Snow Is on the Way: A Powerful Weather Shift Incoming

    While the sun is shining now, the forecast is about to take a dramatic turn. In less than 24 hours, our region is expected to experience what could become one of the most intense snowstorms of the last two decades. Weather maps show potentially historic snowfall totals, with predictions of 300–400 mm of precipitation in the lower valleys and up to 2 meters of snow accumulating in areas such as Gran Paradiso, Cervino, and Monte Rosa.

    A deep trough is expected to dive into the Mediterranean, setting up a dynamic that has historically led to the heaviest precipitation for northwestern Italy. As warm scirocco winds from the southeast collide with the Alpine barrier, a powerful orographic lift will trap the moisture, causing substantial snowfall on the windward slopes.

    When and Where: The Forecast in Detail

    The worsening weather pattern is expected to begin Tuesday evening with the arrival of the pre-frontal zone, triggering showers and thunderstorms that will gradually move into the Valle d’Aosta and VCO. Between Wednesday and Thursday, forecasts become more concerning, with widespread and intense precipitation expected.

    The most intense phase will likely occur between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. Thunderstorms, heavy snowfall, and even convective events such as lightning and thunder are possible along alpine valleys. Areas such as the Gran Paradiso National Park, southern and eastern Valle d’Aosta, Biellese, and Verbano-Cusio-Ossola will likely experience the highest accumulations, with totals reaching up to 300–400 mm by Friday morning.

    Thanks to the persistent southeast airflow, even the inner alpine valleys—Valtournenche, Valle di Ayas, Valle del Lys, Cogne, and Champorcher—will likely receive significant snow, with totals ranging from 100 to 200 mm, potentially more near the Piemonte border.

    A Unique Time to Ski and Explore

    If you’re planning to hit the slopes in the coming days, be prepared for a bit of everything. Right now, conditions above 2500 meters remain solid and wintry, offering some of the best skiing of the season. The added thrill of wildlife sightings, like marmots and ibexes, only enhances the spring skiing experience.

    But be mindful—if this storm unfolds as predicted, it could cause temporary closures or delays in lift operations due to avalanche risk and heavy snow management. Stay informed, follow local advisories, and be flexible with your plans.

    In Conclusion

    Spring skiing is full of surprises—whether it’s a marmot peeking out of the snow or a massive snowstorm rolling in from the south. This week, the Alps are set to receive a dramatic reminder of winter’s power, even as the season edges closer to its end. If you love deep snow, wild weather, and magical mountain moments, this could be your chance to experience something truly unforgettable.

    Stay safe and see you on the slopes!

  • Chasing Perfect Spring Snow in Zermatt

    Chasing Perfect Spring Snow in Zermatt

    Spring is in the air, but that doesn’t mean the skiing has to stop. Quite the opposite—today in Zermatt proved once again that if you know where to go, you can still find incredible snow even in April.

    We started the day on the high-altitude slopes of the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, making the most of the altitude to stay above the softening snow. With the temperatures climbing, the best conditions were definitely up high, and that’s exactly where we headed first.

    The Furgsattel and Hirli chairlifts were our playground for the morning. Up here, the snow was still surprisingly firm and grippy—perfect for high-speed carving. The views were, as always, jaw-dropping, with the towering Matterhorn watching over every turn.

    Around midday, we decided to explore a bit lower and descended all the way to Furi. As expected, the snow down here had a more spring-like texture, but it still held up well, especially on the shadier slopes. For April, it was more than anyone could ask for.

    Lunch was a highlight of the day. We stopped at Stafelalp, a cozy mountain restaurant with an unbeatable view of the Matterhorn. A delicious meal under the sun, surrounded by snow-covered peaks—what more could you want?

    After refueling, we took another lap up Hirli, enjoying one last round of great snow and amazing scenery. Then it was time to cruise down to Aroleid, a picturesque spot nestled in the forest just above Furi. From there, we made our way back across the border, returning to Italy with tired legs and huge smiles.

    Spring skiing days like this are truly special—less crowded slopes, warm sunshine, and if you time it right, excellent snow conditions. Zermatt delivered on all fronts, offering a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Days like this remind me why I love what I do.

    See you on the slopes!

  • Spring Skiing: Warm Temperatures but Perfect Snow Conditions

    Spring Skiing: Warm Temperatures but Perfect Snow Conditions

    The past few days have brought unseasonably warm temperatures to the Alps, but for those wondering if the ski season is still in full swing—fear not! Despite the warmth, the snow conditions remain fantastic, especially at higher altitudes.

    The Magic of High-Altitude Skiing

    One of the great advantages of skiing in areas like Cervinia and Zermatt is the altitude. With slopes reaching well above 2500m, the snow retains its winter quality, ensuring a great skiing experience even when lower areas begin to soften. While the lower runs might start to feel spring-like by midday, the upper slopes are still offering crisp, packed snow perfect for carving turns.

    Early Mornings and High-Altitude Adventures

    With warmer days, the key to making the most of your ski sessions is timing. Mornings are ideal, with perfectly groomed pistes and firmer snow. As the sun rises higher, some lower areas can soften, but above 2500m, you can still enjoy that classic winter snow feel throughout the day.

    Why Spring Skiing is Underrated

    While some people start thinking about summer as temperatures rise, spring skiing offers some of the best conditions of the season. The combination of great snow at higher elevations, longer daylight hours, and fewer crowds makes this period one of the best times to hit the slopes. Plus, there’s nothing quite like enjoying an après-ski drink under the sun after an epic day on the mountain!

    Don’t Pack Away Your Skis Just Yet!

    If you’re hesitating about booking that late-season ski trip, don’t! The snow remains in top shape above 2500m, and with the right approach—early starts, high-altitude runs, and a good après-ski session—spring skiing might just be your new favorite part of the season.

  • From Beginners to Black Slopes: A Year of Progress with Two Young Skiers

    From Beginners to Black Slopes: A Year of Progress with Two Young Skiers

    One of the most rewarding experiences as a ski instructor is witnessing the progress of students over time. This season, I had the pleasure of skiing again with two young English skiers who first started learning with me last year. They arrived as complete beginners back then, and this year, they returned ready to take on an even greater challenge: black slopes! Seeing their confidence and technique improve so much in just one year was incredible.

    Last Year’s Journey: From Zero to Blue Slopes

    When these two kids first stepped onto the snow last season, they had never skied before. Like all beginners, we started with the basics: balancing, stopping, and making simple turns. The first few days were all about getting comfortable on skis and understanding how to move with control. There were plenty of falls, laughs, and moments of doubt, but they never gave up.

    By the end of their first week, they had already mastered the blue slopes, a huge achievement for anyone starting from scratch. Their progress was a testament to their determination and enthusiasm for the sport. I could see they had caught the skiing bug, and I had a feeling they would be back.

    This Year’s Challenge: Black Slopes

    True to my expectations, they returned this season, eager to push their limits even further. From the very first day, it was clear that their muscle memory had kicked in. They picked up where they left off, carving smoothly down red slopes with confidence and control.

    After a few days of refining technique and building confidence, it was time for the big challenge: skiing black slopes. These runs are steeper, icier, and demand precise control and strong technique. Understandably, they were nervous at first, but their excitement quickly took over.

    With a bit of coaching, they made their way down, carefully at first, but gaining confidence with each turn. By the bottom of the run, their faces lit up with pure joy and accomplishment. They had done it!

    The Key to Their Progress

    What made their improvement so remarkable? Several key factors played a role:

    1. Consistent Practice – Returning for another season meant they could build on what they had already learned rather than starting from scratch.
    2. A Positive Attitude – They were always eager to learn and never discouraged by challenges.
    3. Gradual Progression – We made sure to move from easy slopes to harder ones step by step, reinforcing their skills along the way.
    4. Trust in the Process – They followed instructions carefully and trusted their ability to improve with time.

    Looking Ahead: What’s Next?

    After conquering black slopes, these two young skiers are already excited for next season. Their parents have told me how much they love skiing and that they’re eager to return for even bigger challenges. Maybe next year, we’ll tackle some off-piste adventures!

    Watching students grow in skill and confidence is the best part of being a ski instructor. I have no doubt that these two will continue to improve, and I can’t wait to see them back on the slopes next winter.

    See you next season! ⛷️❄️

  • From Total Beginners to Red Slopes in Just Three Days: An Incredible Journey in Courmayeur

    From Total Beginners to Red Slopes in Just Three Days: An Incredible Journey in Courmayeur

    As a ski instructor, I have the privilege of witnessing incredible transformations on the slopes. This week, I had the pleasure of skiing with two young girls who, on Monday, had never worn a pair of skis before. Fast forward to today, their third full day of skiing, and they confidently tackled two challenging red slopes in Courmayeur!

    Day One: The First Steps on Skis

    Monday morning, the girls arrived at the slopes as complete beginners. Our first goal was simple: get them comfortable with the feeling of skis on snow. We started on flat terrain, focusing on basic balance, how to slide, and most importantly, how to stop. At first, every movement felt unfamiliar, but with patience and enthusiasm, they started getting the hang of it.

    By the afternoon, they had made their first controlled descents on a gentle slope. I could already see their confidence growing, and their smiles said it all—they were having fun and eager to learn more.

    Day Two: Progressing to Blue Runs

    With the basics in place, Tuesday was all about building skills and gaining independence. We moved to blue slopes, where they practiced linking turns, controlling their speed, and getting used to different snow conditions. The girls quickly adapted, showing impressive determination and energy.

    One of the most rewarding moments was seeing them complete their first long run without falling. It was a huge confidence boost for them, and it was clear they were hungry for more challenges.

    Day Three: Conquering Red Slopes in Courmayeur

    Today, on their third full day, we took things to the next level. After a warm-up on familiar blue runs, we decided to try a red slope—a big step forward in their skiing journey.

    The first challenge was the steep start, which can be intimidating for new skiers. But with a deep breath and some encouragement, they set off, following my lead and applying everything they had learned. Their turns were controlled, their posture strong, and their confidence unmistakable.

    By the time we reached the bottom, the excitement was electric. They had just skied their first difficult red slope, and their joy was contagious. Since they felt ready for more, we tackled another one, solidifying their incredible progress.

    A Journey to Remember

    Seeing how these two young skiers evolved in just three days was nothing short of inspiring. From hesitant beginners to confident skiers handling red slopes, their journey proves that with the right guidance, dedication, and a bit of courage, anything is possible.

    This experience reminded me why I love teaching skiing. Watching students push their limits, gain confidence, and discover a passion for the sport is an incredible feeling. I have no doubt that these two girls will continue to progress, and I can’t wait to see what challenges they’ll take on next time!

    See you on the slopes! ⛷️❄️

  • Coaching a Young Ski Talent

    Coaching a Young Ski Talent

    When I think of perfect skiing days, yesterday in Zermatt immediately comes to mind. The sun was shining brightly over the majestic Alps, the snow was pristine, and the atmosphere was electric with excitement. It was one of those days that reminded me why I love my job as a ski instructor and today I find a young ski talent.

    This time, my client was a younger skier, full of energy and determination to improve his technique. Despite his age, his passion for skiing and eagerness to learn were truly inspiring. We started the day with a warm-up run, and it quickly became clear that he had a natural talent for the sport and coaching him has been very funny.

    We focused on refining his turns, building confidence on steeper slopes, and introducing him to the thrilling experience of carving on fresh snow. He was a quick learner, and by the afternoon, I could see his progress shining through as he tackled more challenging runs with ease and enthusiasm.

    Of course, the breathtaking scenery of Zermatt added to the magic of the day. We took a break at a charming mountain hut to enjoy a delicious Swiss hot chocolate while soaking in the incredible views of the Matterhorn.

    By the end of the day, my young client was skiing with more precision and confidence than ever. The smile on his face as he conquered each slope was the highlight of my day. It’s moments like these that make every hour on the mountain so rewarding.

    If you’re looking to make unforgettable memories on the slopes or want to take your skiing skills to the next level, don’t hesitate to reach out. Whether you’re a young beginner or a seasoned skier, Zermatt has something special to offer everyone.

  • From Beginners to Red Slopes: My Amazing Week with Five Irish Kids in Valtournenche

    From Beginners to Red Slopes: My Amazing Week with Five Irish Kids in Valtournenche

    As a ski instructor, every week on the slopes brings new challenges and unforgettable experiences. This past week in Valtournenche, I had the privilege of skiing with five amazing Irish kids, including a 3.5-year-old! They arrived on Tuesday as complete beginners, and by Sunday, they were confidently skiing red slopes—some of the most challenging runs in the area. Watching their rapid progress and seeing their enthusiasm grow each day was truly rewarding.

    The First Steps on Skis

    On the first day, these five young skiers had never been on skis before. As with all beginners, our focus was on balance, basic movements, and confidence on the snow. We started with simple exercises on flat terrain, helping them get comfortable with their skis and movements. For the youngest skier, just standing up after a fall was an accomplishment worth celebrating!

    After a few hours, they started gliding down gentle slopes on their own, getting a feel for how skis move and how to stop. It was incredible to see how quickly they picked up the basics and how much fun they were having despite a few tumbles.

    Building Skills and Confidence

    By the second and third day, we moved on to slightly steeper blue slopes. The kids learned how to control their speed, make basic turns, and, most importantly, trust their own abilities. One of the biggest breakthroughs came when they realized that skiing is not just about technique but also about having fun and enjoying the mountain.

    The 3.5-year-old was a true inspiration. Despite being the youngest, he showed an incredible determination to keep up with the older kids. His confidence grew with each run, and by mid-week, he was skiing independently with a huge smile on his face.

    The Big Challenge: Red Slopes in Valtournenche

    By Saturday, these kids had progressed far beyond expectations. They had mastered their turns, controlled their speed, and were eager for a new challenge. That challenge came in the form of Valtournenche’s red slopes—steeper, longer, and technically more demanding.

    At first, they were nervous. The thought of skiing a difficult slope can be intimidating, but after a pep talk and some encouragement, they were ready to go. One by one, they tackled the descent, following my instructions and using all the skills they had learned during the week. Their determination and excitement were contagious, and by the time we reached the bottom, they were cheering and high-fiving each other. It was a moment of pure joy and a testament to their incredible progress.

    The Parents’ Reactions and Future Plans

    The biggest compliment any ski instructor can receive is seeing happy students and satisfied parents. After their final run, the parents told me how thrilled they were with their kids’ progress. They never imagined their children would go from absolute beginners to skiing red slopes in just a few days.

    Even more rewarding was hearing that they are already planning to come back next season. The kids were so excited about their skiing journey that they can’t wait to hit the slopes again next winter. Knowing that I played a part in igniting their passion for skiing is the best feeling in the world.

    Why Valtournenche is Perfect for Learning to Ski

    One of the reasons this experience was so successful is that Valtournenche is a fantastic destination for learning to ski. With a variety of slopes, from gentle beginner-friendly runs to more challenging red and black slopes, it offers the perfect environment for progressive learning. The stunning scenery and excellent snow conditions make it an ideal location for skiers of all levels.

    If you’re looking for a ski destination where beginners can quickly gain confidence and advanced skiers can challenge themselves, Valtournenche is the place to be!

    Final Thoughts

    Teaching these five Irish kids was an unforgettable experience. Their enthusiasm, determination, and joy made every moment on the slopes special. From the first nervous steps to confidently skiing red slopes, their progress was truly inspiring.

    This week reminded me why I love teaching skiing. Watching students overcome their fears, push their limits, and fall in love with the sport is an experience that never gets old. I can’t wait to see these kids back on the slopes next season, ready for even bigger challenges!

    See you on the slopes! ⛷️❄️

  • My Skis: Mach Eagle 182 cm with a 17m Radius

    My Skis: Mach Eagle 182 cm with a 17m Radius

    As a passionate skier and instructor, finding the perfect pair of skis is no small feat. After testing countless models over the years, I’ve finally found a pair that ticks all the boxes: the Eagle Mach 182 cm skis with a 17m radius. Let me tell you why these skis have completely transformed my time on the slopes.

    Versatility at Its Finest

    One of the standout features of the Eagle Mach 182 cm skis with 17m radius is their versatility. As an all-mountain model, these skis are designed to handle a wide range of conditions and terrains. Whether I’m carving perfect turns on groomed slopes or navigating through powder off-piste, they deliver outstanding performance every time.

    Their construction balances stability and agility, allowing for smooth transitions between different snow types. On-piste, the 17m radius makes carving intuitive and fluid, while off-piste, they provide enough float and maneuverability to tackle deeper snow. It’s rare to find skis that excel in both areas, but the Eagle Mach skis manage to do just that.

    Performance You Can Feel

    From the very first run, I noticed how responsive these skis are. The length of 182 cm provides the perfect balance between control and power, giving me confidence even on steeper slopes. The radius of 17m strikes an ideal middle ground, making it easy to adapt my turns depending on the terrain and speed.

    Their edge grip is another highlight. On icy sections, they hold firm, giving me the reassurance I need to push my limits. Meanwhile, in softer snow, they remain stable and playful, making every run enjoyable and dynamic.

    Built for Every Adventure

    As someone who loves exploring both the piste and backcountry, I need skis that can keep up with my adventurous spirit. The Eagle Mach 182 cm skis are built for exactly that. Their lightweight yet durable construction means I can ski all day without feeling weighed down. Plus, their all-mountain design makes them a reliable choice no matter the conditions.

    One of my favorite moments with these skis was tackling a mix of terrains in one day. From icy morning runs to powdery off-piste trails in the afternoon, they adapted seamlessly. It’s this adaptability that truly sets them apart from other skis I’ve used in the past.

    Check Out the Video Review

    For a closer look at these amazing skis, I’ve created a detailed video review on my YouTube channel. In the video, I go over their design, performance, and why I think they’re a game-changer for skiers of all levels. You can watch it here.

    Who Are These Skis For?

    If you’re an intermediate or advanced skier looking for a versatile pair of skis that can handle both groomed slopes and off-piste adventures, the Eagle Mach 182 cm skis are an excellent choice. Their performance, versatility, and durability make them a great investment for anyone who loves spending time in the mountains.

    Final Thoughts

    In my years of skiing and teaching, I’ve rarely come across a pair of skis that impressed me as much as the Eagle Mach 182 cm with a 17m radius. Their ability to adapt to different terrains, combined with their impressive performance, makes them a must-have for any serious skier.

    If you’re in the market for new skis, I can’t recommend these enough. Whether you’re carving on-piste or exploring off-piste, they’re sure to elevate your skiing experience. Don’t forget to check out my YouTube review for even more insights. See you on the slopes!

    Eagle Mach 182 cm Skis: Unmatched All-Mountain Versatility

  • Ski Lessons in Cervinia: From California Sunshine to Alpine Snow

    Ski Lessons in Cervinia: From California Sunshine to Alpine Snow

    Teaching skiing to two Californian girls who had never seen snow before was an unforgettable experience. In just two full days and one half day, they went from complete beginners to confidently skiing down Cervinia’s red run n6 bis. Here’s how their journey unfolded and how you too can learn quickly and effectively.

    A Journey Begins: From Zero to Skiing Hero

    When I met the two young women, their excitement was undeniable, but so was their nervousness. Facing the majestic peaks of the Alps for the first time can be overwhelming. After a quick safety briefing and an introduction to the basics—like posture and balance—we began with baby steps on the beginner slopes. Their determination to learn was evident right from the start.

    Rapid Progress in Just Two Days

    Day one focused on foundational skills: learning to stop, turn, and control their speed on gentle blue slopes. By the end of the first day, they were already showing great improvement. On day two, we leveled up to more advanced techniques such as carving and managing dynamic balance. Their positivity and dedication made all the difference, even when they faced challenges like frequent falls.

    Conquering Cervinia’s Red Run n6 bis

    The final test of their skills came on the third day: descending the red run n6 bis, one of Cervinia’s iconic slopes. After discussing the strategy and preparing mentally for the challenge, they tackled the slope with focus and enthusiasm. Every turn added to their confidence, and by the time we reached the bottom, their sense of achievement was unmatched. They had mastered something many beginners can only dream of.

    Why Ski Lessons in Cervinia Are Unmissable

    Cervinia offers an incredible setting for learning to ski, with its wide, well-groomed slopes and stunning Alpine views. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, personalized lessons can help you achieve remarkable progress in a short time.
