The first words used to describe JoJo are energetic and enthusiastic. Not only is she fun she is also relaxed and patient and brings this approach to her teaching. Originally from London, she discovered her love for all things cold after learning to ski, age four, in the Alps. JoJo, earned her qualifications in Banff, Canada, where she stayed on for two additional seasons. She enjoys all aspects of skiing, and is happy to always embrace any challenge on the slopes. If she’s not on the slopes you will still find her doing adventurous activities outdoors all year-round.
What do you do in the summer?
I swap the slopes in winter, for the ropes in summer and work as a Rope Access Technician. This involves performing maintenance and surveys, whilst suspended from buildings on ropes. I am also, a competitive marathon and sprint kayaker dedicating lots of my time to training and exploring the outdoors.
What top handy tips do you have for anyone visiting Zermatt ?
Do your squats to get your legs ready for the long runs!

Thanks JoJo! As a big family group with some beginners and some more advanced, we all found your advice and good humour to be so helpful! We all learned a lot, and enjoyed your company. Good luck for the rest of the season.

The best instructor / guide we have had.
Fred says
JoJo is a brilliant skier herself and can translate and explain that skill to people with a range of experience with both small tips and tricks, as well as technical explanation of the ski turn.
For the more advanced in our group she spotted bad habits easily and had plenty for us to work on to get to the next level, even when she was concentrating on the beginner and intermediate skiers.

My experience with JoJo was amazing! Not only did I gain a lot of confidence in improving my technique and posture, but we also did exercises that helped me become more aware of my body and balance. And all of this in just two fun sessions!
She constantly challenged me to push my limits, and I learned so much along the way. Meeting her made me really happy, and I’m already looking forward to coming back to Zermatt to continue improving my skills with her.
Thank you, JoJo, for your patience and dedication! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel safe on the slopes while keeping the experience fun and relaxed, I 100% recommend JoJo!
Best
