Welcome to my site
About me
My name is Sander and I’m a professional ski instructor. I'm in possession of the highest Swiss brevet and ISIA qualified and ISIA card holder. During winter I work in "les 4 Vallées" and live in Haute-Nendaz in the Swiss Alps. My first skiing experience was at 4 years old and since 2000 I ski professionally. The last seasons I'm doing a lot of off-piste coaching. Of course the rest of the clinics are still possible as well. For more info about clinics look at the "ski training clinic" page. In my free time I go climbing and freeriding with friends on high peaks away from the slopes. Freeskiing is what it's all about......
In summer I work as a mountainbike guide in the same area.
