Andy Mcintosh

I am a highly qualified ski instructor & coach holding the BASI Level 4 International Ski Teaching Diploma (ISTD), including both the Euro Test & Euro Mountain Security qualifications. As BASI's highest teaching award, the ISTD is internationally recognised with global recognition & credit-rated on the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF) at a level equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree.

I have over 10 years of teaching experience across the French Alps, and have worked extensively in Morzine, Avoriaz and Les Gets, including five years as a Stagiaire with the French International Ski School (ESI).

I joined the company to look after the training and technical development of our products. One of my achievements was to design & deliver 14 Gap Year Programmes, over 7 winter seasons in Pila & Courmayeur, Italy, helping aspiring instructors develop their technical skiing, teaching skills, & professional qualifications.

Having accumulated approximately 8,000 coaching hours over 17 winters, I have extensive mountain experience with a passion for developing skiers of all ages and abilities, from recreational enthusiasts to instructor candidates pursuing BASI certifications.

More recently I have been overseeing our operations in the Pyrenees, in Andorra in particular. I have completed many weeks here since the end of the 2021-22 season, helping to ensure thousands of clients enjoy a great ski experience.
