I am from a small valley named Walden dale in the Yorkshire Dales, it’s a beautiful quiet space. However after school I left for the mountains where too it’s beautiful and quiet but just with a little more snow! After winning a ‘ski instructor in the making’ certificate aged 14 on a school ski trip I started thinking more about pursuing this as a career.
I am now chasing the snow around the world and spending winter in the Alps then over to New Zealand for more winter. I’m also qualified to teach adaptive lessons and I have just stated learning snowboarding. (I’m familiar again with what it is like to be a beginner!)
In between seasons I try a catch a bit of sun and swap my ski boots for flippers and go scuba diving. I feel very lucky as I have my passion as a career, I love been able to share this and the adventures of being in the mountains.
3 reasons to ski with Ellie
1
I’m extremely patient and understand standing on two planks of wood is a bit weird at the start so if your beginning out and a little nervous I can assure you that we will have a calm lesson one step at a time.

I will always ask first what you want out of the lesson and we will tailor our time to meet exactly your goals

I love being a big kid and having loads of fun teaching the little ones to ski but I also love being able to talk a little more technically with the adults. Either way I know we will have a great time so pick me!
