A wonderfully patient and kind instructor, Audrey was brought up in nearby Praz sur Arly. Originally a competition skier, it was following her move to Chamonix 15 years ago that her love for skiing, powder snow and the mountains was irreversibly established. And so her original idea of becoming a school teacher soon transformed into that of being a ski teacher! 15 years later and her passion is still strong. When she's not on the mountain Audrey loves travelling, hiking, sailing and spending time with her 6 year old daughter.

Ferdinand Zeylstra (Ferdi) – Instructor

Ferdi describes himself as a nature-loving hedonist who needs to be outside: be it on snow, on water or flying through the air! He has a wealth of experience and likes to pass on his respect for nature and the elements to his clients, you really feel as if you are in safe hands with him! He’s also the most linguistically talented member of the Prestige Team being fluent in not only French, but also Spanish, English, German and Dutch. Ferdi loves skiing with adults and children alike and enjoys introducing them to the delights of French cuisine for lunch, although admittedly for the really keen, he’s not averse to eating the odd sandwich on a chairlift!
