I grew up in Argentina Patagonia, by the Andes mountains, where I started to ski at the age of 10. Nowadays, after more than 20 years skiing I’m still motivated to keep learning and sharing my knowledge with others.
This sport gave me many friends and the possibility to travel a lot, so I will always be grateful for this.
I also like any other outdoor activity. Hiking, going to a beach or just walking around to discover new corners in town is always a good plan.
Why did you choose to teach snowsports?
When I was in my last year of high school I decided to do the course to became a ski instructor so that next year I could work during winter holidays while I was studying at university. That would give me some money and a free ski pass to ski in my free time, great deal!.
What I didn’t know at that point was how fun and fulfilling this job is. Since then I couldn’t stop doing it, but now it’s my full time job.
What do you do in the summers?
I ski and teach snowsports in Argentinian Patagonia.
Why did you choose this resort?
It’s an iconic resort that I always wanted to know, and I think the town vibes are great complement to good skiing.

Hands down the best ski instructor I have ever met – achieved the impossible by removing my fear of skiing after an accident and improved drastically my technique! Patient and very nice! Highly recommend!

Tuve la suerte de pasar 3 días completos con Gaston, excelente instructor ! , se adapto 100 por ciento a lo que yo le solicite : Las correcciones fueron siempre mientras recorríamos pistas nuevas, aprovechando al máximo los días soleados que nos tocaron, Supo ser observador, didactico y entretenido …algo que no es fácil de encontrar a la hora de pasar jornadas enteras con un instructor nuevo para el cliente , en un centro de ski de la magnitud de Zermatt cuando uno quiere MEJORAR ,pero al mismo tiempo CONOCER lo más posible !
