The guide
About
BASI-qualified ski instructor who moved to Val d'Isère a decade ago and now guides private groups through off-piste terrain on the Espace Killy. Alex focuses on technical progression for intermediate skiers ready to leave groomed runs behind. He recently started building his online community after years of word-of-mouth referrals.
Why join this community
Alex has spent a decade guiding people off-piste in Val d'Isère. His groups are small, the feedback is personal, and he knows exactly what it takes to make the jump from groomed runs to big mountain terrain.
