Stuart hails from Glasgow, Scotland and started skiing at a young age. His great interest in, knowledge of and talent for skiing has led him to carve out a career in instructing. This has taken him many places including France, Austria, Italy, Andorra and now Verbier. Stuart loves to teach all ages and abilities, including adaptive skiers.
Living and working in Verbier for the past seven years, all year round, has given Stuart a real knowledge of this ski resort and the surrounding areas. When Stuart is not skiing, he can be found enjoying the local life, skating, golfing, and following Glasgow Rangers.

Stuart was an excellent teacher. He really focused on our teenage son’s technique for our all day lesson. He gave great tips and we went down fantastic slopes avoiding the crowds . He took the time to explain some technical aspects to our son which really enhanced his confidence. We really enjoyed talking to Stuart over the day and we picked up great tips about the resort. We would definitely recommend him .

Stuart was a fantastic instructor from outset.
I went from a complete beginner to skiing down some steep black and red runs after 4 days. I initially started with two lessons and extended by a further two because of the progress I was seeing.
I couldn’t recommend Stuart more as an instructor who strikes a perfect balance in keeping the lessons fun, engaging and pushing you to progress further.

As a total beginner I really enjoyed having Stuart as my coach. He struck a perfect balance between allowing me to go at my own pace and pushing me to progress. I highly recommend him as a coach to anyone looking for a super experienced ski coach who will watch you closely and address your weak points. I always found learning to ski an intimidating undertaking but working with Stu really made it fun and enjoyable.

Stuart was a great guide. He knew the mountain well. Took us to the best parts of the mountain. We are a family of advanced skiers and had a great time. Very accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and fun. One of the best guides we have had.

Excellent tuition from Stuart. Transformational improvement for our kids, taking them from beginners to capable and confident skiers. All done in a fun and calm way with plenty of encouragement. Thanks Stuart!

Stuart got me back on the slopes after a devastating Parkinson’s diagnosis 7 years ago. Using patience, skill and his great sense of humour Stuart, an Adaptive Skiing Instructor, coaxed me onto the nursery slope at Les Esserts and after an amazing 3 days I was back enjoying the off-piste areas of Savoleyre. Thanks Stuart: you gave me my confidence back.
