The Team

  Roddy Willis

Roddy tried an office job in the 80′s and quickly realised it wasn't for him. In 1988 he headed for the Alps and has never really looked back, working in a number of different jobs from hotel dish washer to ski school technical director and still managing to do nearly three full ski seasons whilst studying for a degree in furniture design. 

He is a born communicator and combines this with his love of skiing and vast coaching experience to help his clients achieve goals beyond their expectations. Read what Roddy's clients said:

 Pirate Cap ‘n’ Tom and his rowdy Mate

After decades swashbuckling on the high seas the pirates have come ashore in Verbier – Not really a desert island but a great place to bury treasure. Needless to say the team are pretty handy on Telemark skis and love to pass on their rogue-ish talents.
