Our English speaking ski instructors Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz and Meribel. We use fun and effective easy-learning techniques to teach you how to “get the most without using the most” from your skiing.
Glenn Wellesley is a British ski instructor who has been ski-teaching for over 20 years. His career has taken him all over the world, including the U.S.A and New Zealand before making the French slopes his winter home.
Glenn has his full BASI (British Association of Snowsport Instructors) international ski teacher licence with full French equivalence, but many of the skills that set him apart from other ski instructors came as a result of a ski racing injury. Glenn lost the physical strength to ski at race-level using orthodox methods, so he researched the latest techniques in bio-mechanics and sports science to find the easiest, most energy-efficient ways to ski.
The realization and understanding of how psychology and clarity are key factors in sport spurred him on to seek out and emulate World-renowned mentors and leaders in performance coaching.
Glenn is well equipped to help you “get the most without using the most” and to… Ski with Ease™. These performance soft skill coaching methods are tried and tested by elite athletes and will help ease you into the right mindset to get you skiing as quickly as possible.
Enrico is a highly experienced and talented ski instructor and our clients just love his fun and enthusiastic teaching style.
He has a keen eye and plenty of effective tricks built up over his many years of teaching that will get you skiing with more ease. You will be seeing a lot of Enrico this season on the slopes of Morzine, Les Gets & Avoriaz.
Enrico has been one of our full-time team for many seasons and and loved by our clients. He can get booked up fast and perfect for all ages.

Roberto qualified as a full international ski instructor and worked in Frances most prestigious resorts now including Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz.
Our multi-lingual Maestro loves teaching all ages from little minis to adult off-piste ski touring.

Oli is an accomplished Slovenian ski instructor who speaks impeccable English and has extensive knowledge and experience in sports and education.
After competing as a ski racer, Oliver shifted his focus to obtaining the highest certifications in ski instruction and guiding and is well-equipped to deliver expert instruction to students of all levels and abilities and get you skiing with more ease!
Our clients of all ages adored him last season from our very young beginners in our parent and child lessons, kids having fun in the parks to our nervous adults needing to build confidence. He’s back Season 23/24.
While teaching skiing down under doing back-to-back winter seasons, the Aussies struggled to say his name right. They pronounced it as Euros (€) and the kids just called him Mr Money.
Uros started skiing when he was 9, which was quite late for someone who comes from a small country with mountains and had a total blast. He knew he wanted to ski as often as possible and joined a ski club and made a lot of progress as well as friends and started to race. (Our Robert was one of his coaches with Medin, Luka, Zan his race team mates). He has taught in Georgia, Oz, Slovenia, Austria and now with us in France!
He is a relaxed and patient instructor and loves keeping sessions fun and will even pass on some ski tricks if you are up for it! Uros does a lot of freestyle skiing and off-piste freeski movies and photo shoots. You can follow him on social media with great soundtracks as he has an audio engineering diploma and plays bass in a rock music band recording in proper studios.
Uros was one of our part-time team last season and everyone loved him. He’s back season 23/24 full-time.
Ali grew up with a ski resort in the next village and naturally became a ski and snowboard instructor. He extended his skill-set studying and gaining a Diploma at the Sports Science University in Ljubljana.

Medin (or Medo which means Teddy) Joined our team Full-Time Season 2022/23! He will be back for Peak-Weeks this season as he’s studying hard for his Masters Degree.
Medin is a young, 25 year old, Slovenian instructor who has been ski-teaching since he was 16 years old. In the earlier stages he was a ski racer and then decided to become a ski instructor to transfer his experience and knowledge to others.
With his very communicative and easy-going character he delivers the most enjoyable and stress-free lessons so, you can still proceed to Ski With Ease!
He’s worked in many countries including Slovenia, Austria and Italy and worked with every type of skier, from beginners to racers and 3-year olds to adults.
He likes to spend his free time doing different adrenaline sports such as skateboarding, acrobatics, off-piste ski touring, cliff jumping and more.
A great new addition to the team and our clients were full of praise at the end of the lessons.
Teya is a passionate winter sports lover with her goal to pass that passion forward. She is a firm believer in fun learning which is what got her hooked on skiing at the young age of 3 years old.
Teya turned Pro International Ski Instructor over ten years ago proving that starting young is the way to go. Her soft skill coaching quality mixed with a bucket load of patience, enthusiasm and encouragement makes her a perfect instructor for working with kids and nervous skiers. A well rounded and skilled instructor with the ability to easily switch it up a gear for a performance and technical session too.
After taking a few seasons off to bring up her young son, it’s great to have her back on the team again for the peak-weeks.
Tommy is a very patient ski professional. He is a great motivator who exudes natural cheeriness as he shares his expert ski knowledge.
He has a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology (the study of body movements) and is a full-time fitness trainer and sports teacher when not on skis. Tommy is able to draw on a mix of teaching styles and techniques gained from two decades of teaching all over Europe, North America, Australia, Japan, and now the Portes du Soleil.
Ski instructor and ex racer Matt knows how to get you moving with efficiency and ease on your skis. He has a degree in kinesiology, the science that addresses the physiological and psychological dynamic principles and mechanisms of human body movement.
When he’s not on his skis, he works with professional ski, basketball and tennis teams as a personal trainer and strength-and-conditioning coach. He is an attentive instructor who loves to improve skills, build self-esteem, and empower you to reach your skiing goals. He’s been one of our regular peak-week instructors and perfectly adapts to being gentle with our nervous skiers as well as fun and energetic with our private kids group lessons and making them fun in the parks and on the jumps.
Mark is an all-year-round teacher, ski teaching in the winter, and teaching the guitar when his skis and boots come off!
Mark is English and qualified as a ski instructor 20 years ago and has spent much of his ski career teaching in the chic and stylish resort of Megeve, Ski With Ease is super pleased to have lured him to the Portes du Soleil to pass on his fun and easy learning style to our guests here.
You will always have plenty to chat about on the chair lifts when not discussing ski technique as he has plenty of stories of his touring and gigging days with various bands to tell.
Oli is a German-Caribbean ski instructor with long hair and a permanent smile! He trained in Austria but has also worked in Canada, Norway, Switzerland, and Italy. He loves the mountains and brings a little of his tropical roots attitude to the slopes, the good vibes, and the good times!
He teaches with a little more of the legendary Austrian skiing technique and loves getting both adults and kids excited about developing their own skiing flair. When he is not skiing, he is working as a master scuba diving instructor or, as a doctor in the UK where he was tackling the pandemic as well as teaching with Ski With Ease last season! He is fun, gentle and a great listener.

Returned for another long weekend with Ski with Ease ski school in Avoriaz. My son skied with Robert this time round as Glenn was not available and he did not disappoint. My son who was a little wary about skiing with someone new returned with...More
Two mornings with Glenn was a huge help in improving my skiing. It was very interesting and he made me feel very at ease. Booking was seemless, Lorna too was very helpful. Thank you
Lindsay C
Robert gave me all the tools I needed to go from a complete beginner to being able to ski safely. The training was structured but friendly, and never did he run out of patience. Great advise always given. Highly recommended.
