Get to know Ettore
I am an Italian ski instructor. I started teaching in Italy in 2011 and France with New Generation in 2015. My passion for skiing doesn’t stop for the summertime since I also teach in Australia during the southern hemisphere winter. I enjoy sharing my love for skiing with everyone, from small children and adult beginners to park skiers and off-piste Freeriders. I seek to share the mountain experience from an exciting point of view with people.
When I am not outdoors, you can find me in my kitchen trying new recipes or preparing something for my friends. I am, without a doubt, the best pizza chef and sushi master of all ski instructors!
Highlights from last season:
Last season Ettore and his team managed to get 7 students “sending” a backflip.
What motivates you to get on your skis?
Every day presents a different motivation for hitting the slopes on my skis. On days when I teach, I strive to positively impact my students and give my all to meet their individual needs. This challenge drives me to give 100% effort each day.
I consider being out in the mountains a privilege and an opportunity to improve people’s lives. Suppose I am up for an adventurous day out or a challenging climb instead. In that case, the motivation lies in the enjoyment of the upcoming experiences and the adrenaline within each moment in the outdoors.
What do you do after winter?
After the wintertime, I generally work with a company that organises powerboat and jetski international races. But I am also training to become a climbing instructor in the UK.
