ABOUT OUR TEAM

Emma is a BASI Trainer and BASI Level 4, based in the Swiss resort of Verbier.

She’s in charge of operations and coaching for Peak Leaders and you’ll probably talk to her when you book your place.

As well as becoming a top qualified ski instructor Emma also loves being in the mountains all year round and spends her summers biking around Verbier and hiking with her dog Indie.

Jake is a BASI Level 4 and coaches our trainees in both Saas Fee and Verbier.

But he’s not just a fully qualified ski instructor – he’s also a personal trainer and so you’ll see him when he runs a lot of the fitness sessions on the courses.

As well as skiing and exploring the backcountry, Jake wants you to know he loves long walks, “Indie time”, laughing and powder days…

Tori is a great addition to the team and brings bags of enthusiasm and professionalism.

She has a great eye for technique, so is an expert at spotting what you need to change to meet the exam criteria.

As well as being a fully qualified ski coach, she’s also a fitness coach – so you can expect to meet her in your weekly fitness sessions, too.

Murray is another of our coaches who are also BASI examiners.

He has been doing back-to-back winters in Verbier and New Zealand for years now, so if you’re tempted by a Southern Hemisphere Winter you should definitely pick his brains about getting a job…

When he’s not coaching ski instructors, Murray skippers sailing yachts around Scotland and the Mediterranean.

Mischa is a BASI Examiner with bags of experience.

He’s taught all over the world – France, Japan, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and even the UK. So if you’re interested in teaching, he’s your man.

As well as coaching at the highest level, he’s also an outdoor sports coach – so he spends his summers kayaking, sailing and biking!
