    Merijn

    Merijn has been working as a sports instructor since 2000, but postponed winter sports for as long as possible the first time. He knew that after the first time he wanted nothing else and there probably wouldn’t be any money left for a summer vacation. At the age of 23, it was really going to happen and was immediately sold. At the time working as a full time skating and inline skating and outdoor instructor. From 2009, winter sports holidays were no longer enough and he left for New Zealand for his first full season. He obtained his first snowboard instructor degrees that season. Many more would follow in the snow, the counter now stands at 15. In addition to snowboarding, he also obtained his degrees for skiing and back country. Since he makes it a habit to turn his hobbies into his work, he has also become a kite surfing instructor. In all seasons people worked full time as ski and snowboard instructor / guide. If there is no snow to play in, he is standing behind the stove in a number of renowned restaurants in Amsterdam. After New Zealand and Canada, the last 6 years were in Japan. Here the love for culture, food and snow (lots of snow!) Came together. For the time being he is not going to leave it either. Together with his wife Annemiek, they have bought a lodge and set up their own snowsports school. The Japan Snowsports company wants to distinguish itself through a customized product. In addition, they look for the best snow and terrain for their customers. www.jpsnowsports.com

    killi

    I am an ambitious, sporty man, born and raised in the valley of Engelberg, Switzerland. My name Kili Weibel, 34 years old.  Skiing is my big passion. Since I was two years old I have always loved being active and spending time outdoors, if possible in the snow. After a few years of ski racing, I started training to become a ski instructor. In 2011 I became an expert in the Swiss Snowsports Education Pool.  Since 2013 I’ve been a member of the Swiss Snow Demo Team, representing Switzerland all around the world at different conferences and meetings and developing the snowsports industry. I have participated two times at INTERSKI (Argentina 2015, Bulgaria 2019). I have won 2 times ISIA World Champion title with my team in synchronized skiing  Back home I’m the Technical Director of the Swiss Ski School and responsible for quality control. Apart from that I also work as a ski instructor, offpiste guide and race coach. In my freetime, I meet up with friends and go ski-touring and freeriding.   In the summer months I do a lot of mountain-biking. As Technical Director of the Bike School and Swiss Cycling MTB Instructor I was able to connect my second hobby to my profession too.   « The mountains are my playground » 

    Geertje

    Under the guise of “if she can walk, she can ski,” Geertje was put on a pair of plastic skietjes at the age of 1.5, and a year later it was time for the first pair of real skis. With two pairs of socks on because there were no ski boots in her size, she made her first ski meters. After the first time with the gondola up, little Geertje came downstairs, howling because she wanted to go again and was not allowed. It is clear that that love of skiing has never disappeared. In the meantime, Geertje has won 24 national titles in alpine skiing. In different age categories and disciplines, and on all surfaces. In addition, she has also performed well in international competitions, such as a 14th place at the Universiade, 3rd at the German junior championships and a 22nd place in the European Cup. After 9 years of top sport and various injuries, it was time to put an end to the top sport career and she started working as a coordinator at Snowsports Academy Racing. After 3 years in that position, she started working as a self-employed person. Geertje is currently training ski skiers at Ski Racing Heemskerk, has her own G-Force team and partly runs a team for juniors and senior racers from the Netherlands and Belgium. In addition, she also likes to work with fanatic and advanced adults. And finally, in the little bit of time that remains, as an EQfit coach, she helps people with their personal development. By the way, don’t underestimate Geertje as a “slalom girl”. She also likes to go down in the field and put Berber on fire in the Dutch freeride competitions. Ski courses: Landes 1, Alpinkurs, D-Trainer and Trainergrundkurs.

    Jaco

    From an early age Jaco has had a passion for the weather and especially for extreme weather. Even as a little boy, when it was snowing he could not be kept inside. Until last year, his winter sports experience consisted only of walking in the snow and cross-country skiing in the Ardennes. In 2017 the opportunity presented itself with Weeronline and Zoover on a ski trip to Kirchberg. Here Jaco received his first ski lessons and became infected with the “winter sports virus”. This winter sports experience tastes like more. Jaco started as a meteorologist in 2010 at Weeronline. Since 2015 he has been responsible for PR and spokesmanship at Weeronline and he also manages the team of meteorologists. From February 2018, together with the team of meteorologists, he provides news reports about the weather in the Alps for Snowplanners.

    Arnaud

    My dream was to turn my hobby into my career. I started to do instructor course at the age of 16 and I have been working as a ski & snowboard instructor ever since. I studied Sports Management at the University of Applied Sciences in Groningen. During my studies I worked as an event manager in water and winter sports. I have organized international kitesurfing events in the Netherlands and the Caribbean. In the summer months I work as a kite surfing instructor and tour guide. I fly all over the world to go kite surfing in beautiful places and to let people enjoy this beautiful sport. My favorite sports can also be combined and then it is called Snowkiting. we use the kite to go up instead of the lift and you can cruise through the mountains in no time. it may sound extreme but it is more accessible as you may think. For the last 2 years I have been organizing snow kite trips to Alp dhuez in France with KiteActive. I hope to meet you soon in the powder or on a beautiful white beach.

    John

    My name is JD the inventor of 100% wax-free solutions for skis and snowboards. I have been asked to tell my Snow Sports innovation story. A very unlikely story in fact about how I from my hometown of Wells Somerset in the southwest of England and the slopes of Austria came up with the invention to make skis and snowboards wax-free forevermore, even better 100% ECO. It all came about because I got so sick of waxing only to find it did not work as the conditions had changed overnight or from hour to hour. It was very important to me that my skis glided effortlessly while I was working as a trainer and ski instructor on the slopes of Austria throughout the winter. It was then I thought or I remember thinking, there has to be a better way to make skis and snowboards work and glide better than they do.

    jack

    Jack van Nunen, 53 years old and living in Salzburg-Stadt. Since 1998 full-time in the winter sports industry in various shops in NL. I have had various positions, such as sales, manager, purchasing, boat fitting, and events. Until 2002 I had an outdoor sports company with activities in Belgium, France, Italy, and Slovenia, specializing in Canyoning and Caving. Emigrated to Austria in 2018 and fulfilled a long-cherished dream there let go … your own Boot fit company. A Dutchman as a boot fitter in the heart of the Alps… exciting! I have followed a number of solid boot-fit courses at the American MasterFit University and of course many clinics and courses of all ski boot brands. I am active in the instruction group of the SnowSafetyCenter that provides avalanche training caters for skiers, snowboarders, tour skiers, splitboarders, snowshoe hikers. All this in Dutch and with Dutch-speaking mountain and ski/snowboard guides. Super fun and above all educational days where we familiarize people with responsibility being busy in the undisturbed terrain. Stay safe and stay boot-fitted.

    Amanda

    Amanda Romijn is 30 years old and lives in Zoetermeer. In daily life she works as a Physiotherapist in The Hague. She also works with multiple handicapped people and gives tennis lessons. Tennis has always been her sport from an early age. As a child, Amanda and her family also went on winter sports, but at that time she was still rather uncomfortable. Every time she went to class she took her ski’s off to make snowmen! Amanda liked that much better then 🙂 That Amanda is sporty is evident from the fact that she has done sport and exercise as a pre-education. During this training Amanda naturally also got snow sports and then she loved it! Nowadays she goes to the snow every year and she can’t live without it anymore! She has tried skiing a number of times, but apparently Amanda is not a hero in that. No snowboarding, that is where her passion lies and that is a lot easier for her and she thinks it’s great to do! Amanda also owns her own travel website https://justmytravel.nl I really enjoy winter sports because you are so active in the snow all day and afterwards you can look back tired and satisfied on a great day. The feeling of pushing your limits on a snowboard is really great! When you go down the mountain on your snowboard, you just forget everything, but then everything! You can empty your head and relax and enjoy nature and sports.

    Robin

    My name is Robin Kaptein, 21 years old and from Lochem Gelderland. Now I must say that I can no longer be found here so often. From an early age I have always been with my parents to the mountain countries, skiing holidays and walking holidays were always the annual outing. Because of this I was inspired at a young age by the mountains and nature, especially for the sporting possibilities in the alpine countries. After high school I went to study at the CIOS Arnhem. Here I got my trainer-coach diploma with the outflow stream Outdoor sports. During these years I set my sights on becoming an international mountain guide within the IVBV training in Austria. This is my absolute dream! For this I gradually started following training within the Austrian ski teacher system. With this I taught four seasons in Austria in Sankt Johann in Tirol, I have also worked in Coronet Peak, Queentown New Zealand for one season. I am also connected to the current ski Anwarter course at CIOS Arnhem, where we train current students for the ski instructor exam in Austria. In the meantime I have obtained my Landes diploma in snow sport in Tyrol, next January I will start my state course in snow sport Austria. This is the highest attainable ski teacher certificate in Austria. This made me eligible for the Dutch Interski Team, which will represent the Netherlands this winter at the four-yearly international ski teacher meeting in Bulgaria. After my Staatliche training I hope to be able to start my dream: the Austrian IVBV Training. My little boy’s dream has gradually become reality. And I spend all my free time on mountain adventures and of course with my passion for snow and snow sports. Robin Kaptein Instagram: robin Kaptein
