Chris Bashforth

Chris is originally from the Peak District in the UK, however, since turning 19, he has not spent much time away from the snow. He has worked ski seasons across the world. He started his training in Tignes France. He has since worked on every continent teaching skiing and honing his skills. After spending the last few winter ski seasons in Vermont, Japan, and Switzerland, Chris has decided it’s time to return to the French Alps.

Chris is a very sought after race coach and spends his summer months in New Zealand. Coaching at such a high level, he brings not only his enthusiasm for teaching skiing but also a very technical eye. He is hugely enthusiastic on the mountain and gets the best out of everyone, pitching his lessons with the perfect amount of fun and feedback. His passion is infectious.

Chris is fully BASI qualified and one of the most experienced candidates to come through the system in the last few years. His time in Japan led him to a love of off-piste skiing. Chris has an excellent knowledge of the Three Valleys and will always find you the best conditions on the day.

When Chris isn’t skiing (which is very rare), he can be found enjoying the Peak District where he grew up. He enjoys climbing, walking, and, most of all, biking.
