Why I love working for the Rookie Academy

The trainers at Rookie Academy are incredibly passionate and inspiring to be around. 
Also, training instructors and conducting courses is something I love because this is a place where I can facilitate a safe learning environment while sharing my motivation with others who are willing to put in the hard work and aspire to become better. When I can feel the passion in my aspirants I become quite invested in their journey. 

What’s one piece of advice to anyone trying to improve their skiing/riding?

Keep seeking new ways to challenge yourself and appreciate the process of improving! The varying conditions are one of the greatest beauties of skiing.

What keeps you motivated to keep pushing your skiing/riding?

I feel motivated when I’m around likeminded skiers who inspire me by skiing hard and with a style that I like. 
I set goals and ambitions for myself, and reaching these goals is fueled by motivation and passion for the sport.

What’s one of your memorable skiing/riding experiences?

Skiing bottomless powder at 6pm after a full day of skiing in Mt. Asahidake with my cousin. We didn’t even have time to stop for lunch that day – skiing was simply too much fun. 

What type of gear do you ski/ride on and why?

I’m on Völkl skis, Dalbello boots and Marker bindings. This equipment is in the top of the game, and the support I feel from the team is amazing!

The Völkl Racetiger GS Master 178 is super stable and versatile – they’re good companions on any given day.
