MEET WILL
‘Alpine Experts Ltd’
Skiing since he was three and the son of a ski instructor, it was inevitable Will would follow the family tradition…
So having started training before university he took a break to study for his economics degree then got straight back to skiing, doing seasons in resorts around the world, including Queenstown in New Zealand and Saas-Fee in Switzerland.
Will runs his own coaching company, Alpine Experts, which specialises in instructor training, so when he’s not skiing with clients he’s helping trainee ski instructors pass their BASI exams.
Will loves off-piste and ski touring, but when in summer his love of surfing has taken him all over the world.
