About the guide
Snowbusters is a skiing and snowboarding community of guides and coaches that have grown out of a genuine passion for gliding snow on any possible terrain, at different locations around the world. We love and live what we do. That’s why we don’t just sell skiing or snowboarding holidays. We don’t just provide instructors and guides.
Our aim goes far beyond that. We strive to introduce people who decide to join us to the whole culture behind what we love to do most in our lives. We try hard to maintain the motivation high. Our lifelong dedication is the best proof that we are good at it. We know what it gets to internalize the right habits that will lead to continuous progress.
We are a community of equally passionate skiers, snowboarders, and mountaineers. Having different educational and professional backgrounds, we provide complex and revealing insights into skiing and snowboarding in its various forms, as well as into skiing and snowboarding lifestyles. Ours have been crafted in a way that allows for as much riding as possible. We have a lifelong affair with the sport and are able to employ multiple approaches to passing on the necessary skills that will help you become a better skier or snowboarder.
In our view, growing up as a skier or snowboarder entails growing up as a person. We live and work in natural environments, and an important part of what we do is sharing our positive attitude towards nature. We promote partnership and respect to all living and non-living elements of our world. At the start of the new year, we will be joining the 1% For The Planet project.
