Verbier

August was born in Sweden, and has been skiing since before he could tie his own shoes. Since then, he has worked to turn his hobby of skiing into a career. He loves exploring everything from off-piste to snow parks and pistes. Nowadays, you’ll find him carving down the slopes with some of his favorite tunes playing in his ears. With several years of experience working at a ski school in Sweden, he’s excited to bring his passion to Verbier in the winter. When he’s not on the slopes, you’ll find him catching the wind in a small sailing dinghy.
