Why did you choose to teach snowsports?
I love teaching skiing because it lets me share my passion for the sport and helps skiers of all abilities enjoy being on the mountain like I do. I enjoy passing on tips and the excitement of being on the snow.
What do you do in the summer?
In the summer, I work as a rope access technician and specialize in confined space rescue. I am also a competitive kayaker and a keen road cyclist; keeping active and adventurous while exploring the outdoors.
What is your favourite part of Zermatt to ski/ride?
The top of Furggsattel has two great red runs that are ideal for fast long turns, with an even pitch the whole way down.
What top handy tips do you have for anyone visiting Zermatt ?
It can get windy so bring a couple of extra layers.

When I say the experience we had was flawless, it is said with full sincerity.
Jojo is welcoming, helpful, friendly and all around lovely. We wanted to spend the entire day skiing at our leisure, and she couldn’t have taken us on a better route.
Couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Chelsey says
Jojo was awesome!! She was so patient with us and really helped us build the confidence to ski. We were both beginners and she was really encouraging and made our ski day a fun experience. Would definitely recommend Jojo!
Andrea says
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.
Anonym says
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.
Osmel says
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
