OLI

Ski Instructor

Qualification: BASI Level 3 ISIA Alpine
Euro Test
Bumps Legend

Oli made his first turns in Nendaz back in 2006 — the moment his passion for the mountains and skiing truly took hold. He began teaching here in 2012 and, as many would say, never really left — now very much part of the furniture!

With years of experience, Oli has worked with everyone from complete beginners to aspiring instructors. He loves sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport. His passion for skiing is infectious, and it shines through in the smiles and laughter of his clients.

A big fan of moguls, Oli is often found tackling the itinerary runs across the 4 Vallées. On his days off, you’ll probably find him ski touring in the backcountry — unless he’s out for a run — but his perfect day will always be one spent in fresh powder.

SANDER

Qualification: Swiss Brevet Federal
German Staatliche
Austrian Staatliche

Languages: English, Dutch, French, German

Sander is known for his amazing skiing, terrain knowledge and love for nature. He was born in the Netherlands and started skiing when he was 4 years old in the Swiss Alps. He started working as a snowsports professional in 2000.

He mostly coaches skiers improving their off-piste technique, guiding them safely whilst always finding ways of improving their technique. Mountain safety is his other main priority during these trips, and so great care is taken regarding hazardous terrain and risk management.

Sander also works for the Snow Safety Centre. He has worked for many years as an SSC ski guide, providing training in mountain and avalanche awareness. Therefore he always knows the latest risk management and search & rescue techniques.

In his spare time Sander is usually freeriding high up on the mountain, cruising down steep slopes or through narrow couloirs and is always on the lookout for fresh new routes.

RORY

Ski Instructor

Qualifications: NZSIA level 2

Rory has been skiing in the 4 Vallées area since the age of four and now calls Nendaz home. Having spent many years sneaking away from his family to explore the mountain he knows the area inside out and loves helping others discover the best it has to offer. A keen and enthusiastic teacher, Rory enjoys sharing his passion for skiing and creating a fun, supportive learning environment.

Outside of skiing, Rory is a big sports fan especially when it comes to tennis, padel, surfing, mountain biking and football. With a background in art, he brings a creative flair to his lessons, helping clients paint some beautiful turns.

GEORGIE

Ski Instructor

Qualification: PSIE Level 3
Languages: English & French

Georgie has spent years teaching in Andorra, Italy, New Zealand, and now Switzerland. After over a decade living and breathing the 4 Vallées, he knows the area like the back of his hand and loves helping people feel confident on the mountain.

Born in London and raised in France, he brings an easy, relaxed style to even the trickiest terrain. His lessons are full of energy, good vibes, and a genuine passion for helping others enjoy the mountains as much as he does.

Whether you’re skiing, relaxing, or a bit of both, Georgie makes sure your day is fun, safe, and tailored to you. And if he’s not on the hill skiing, touring, or boarding, you’ll most likely spot him being dragged through town by one of his dogs.
