Emilie De Crombrugghe

There are no dull moments riding with this hard charging coach hailing from the flatlands of Belgium. The alps first shaped her approach to navigating the slopes, teaching and training instructors in France, Italy and Austria. This well traveled winter bird has also completed seasons in New Zealand and South America. Her keen sense of adventure always takes her (much) farther: “In 2010, we built snowcaves on a multi-day splitboarding mission from Chile to Argentina…”. When asked what’s in store for guests, Emilie smiles: “The goal is to have fun, learn something, and get the heartbeat up!” Emilie’s clear goal setting and meticulous planning will set you up for a memorable day! She adds “Do not skip breakfast! Because when the powder is firing, we’re definitely skipping lunch!” Make sure to pack some pocket snacks…
