My background 

I grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia and started skiing when I was seven in our local mountains and Whistler.

I have lived, worked, traveled and studied in such exotic places as Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong, China, the United Kingdom, the South Pacific and the Himalayas.

I am now back in Whistler to stay. When I am not teaching skiing in the winter, I guide hiking here in the Coast Mountains and the Canadian Rockies.

I love the outdoors and spend as much time as I can skiing, backcountry touring, mountaineering, hiking, biking and fly fishing. After all the mountains are my office!

How I Teach

I like to keep things simple, have fun and get lots of mileage. 

Skiing can be a very complex and technical sport especially if you are new to it. The best way to improve your skiing is actually doing it and having fun. I make it as safe and simple as possible by focusing on exactly the skills you need, when to use them and give you the opportunity to practice them. Once you have mastered one thing, we move onto the next.

I always try to get my clients to do more than they ever thought they could and still finish the day with energy and good humor. Skiing is all about having fun and adventure, being able to explore new places, being in control and not working any harder than you have to.

I specialize in teaching beginners, intermediates, adults and children. I enjoy introducing beginners to skiing and helping intermediates fine tune their skills. I speak Italian fluently as well as some basic Spanish and Portuguese.


“Her great attitude, warm smile, encouraging words truly made it a wonderful experience.”

"Jeannie was outstanding!! She is an excellent instructor...very good at explaining and demonstrating drills that enhanced my skill level. I have no doubt that my entire trip was better due to taking that lesson from Jeannie on my first day there!!"
- Sean Allen, Kentucky, USA

“Our kids CHOSE to spend their holiday time with Jeannie skiing and gave Disneyland a miss this year! This is a first in a decade that Mickey was given the boot.
She is the perfect instructor for our lads. She imparts drills, skills and motivates them like nobody else."

- James Chen, Singapore
