Those two resorts allowed her to develop a certain poise to teach in any situation! Furthermore, Stéphany is a teacher that prepares peaceful and playful lessons for all kinds of students. For her, the ESF is a serious school that highlights performance, professionalism and fun.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Besides the resort, she used to work in the field of tourism and recently changed to work in rental management. Her other hobbies include riding a boat or wakeboarding on the Leman lake.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Her favorite slope is the Arare.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Sylvain is very attached to the resort of Avoriaz since he spent his childhood skiing down the various slopes of the resort. Fond of the thrills of competitions, he participated in local competitions in ski and snowboard, and even got a pretty great track record.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Sylvain is a man of many facets, indeed, he enjoys physical activities such as climbing, cycling, swimming and surfing, but also photography. Thanks to his ski practice, he had the opportunity to go to Switzerland and Italy during expeditions.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>His favorite spot is the Hauts-forts.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Versatile skieur since the youngest of age, Théo is passionate about skiing and snowboarding in all of their forms. Born in a family that mainly works in the mountain environment, Théo wanted to follow in their footsteps by becoming a ski instructor at <b>esf</b> Avoriaz.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>When he takes off his red sweater that is so characteristic of <b style="">esf</b> instructors, Théo works as a carpenter. Lover of high thrills, he regularly practices his slacklining skills, a a sports practice similar to funambulism. Thanks to the location of Avoriaz within the skiing area of Portes du Soleil, Théo has the opportunity to ski on the Swiss side of the area. Lastly, his favourite slope in Avoriaz is the Coupe du Monde.&nbsp;</div>

For him, learning while having fun is essential when it comes to winter sports, that's why he offers lessons during which fun and technique are the key words.&nbsp;</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A nature lover, Thierry loves the feeling you get when you walk through snowy areas while admiring the beauty of the landscape.

<div>Né à Avoriaz, Thomas a grandi à Morzine et dévalé les pistes de cette station dès son plus jeune âge. Véritable compétiteur, a été nommé Champion d'Europe en super G et a été plusieurs fois champion de France à 15 et 16 ans. À 18 ans, il s'est lassé du ski alpin pour passer au ski freestyle, ce qui lui a permis de s'entraîner aux États-Unis. Désormais moniteur de ski, Thomas est plus que jamais amoureux de la montagne et de la sensation de liberté qu’elle lui procure. Pour lui, apprendre à skier ne doit pas être un fardeau, mais un véritable plaisir ! En plus de son travail à la station, Thomas s'entraîne également pour devenir moniteur de surf.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Travailler dans les rangs de l'ESF lui permet d'apprendre auprès de moniteurs beaucoup plus expérimentées que lui. Une chance à ses yeux ! Son meilleur souvenir d’enseignement est d’avoir effectué les premières traces dans de la poudreuse fraîchement tombé, accompagné de clients tout aussi passionnés que lui.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Ce qu'il préfère faire à Avoriaz, c'est se rendre sur le spot de freeride car il est facile d'accès et les risques sont limités.&nbsp;</div>

<div>At 2 years old and so early he cannot remember it, Thomas discovered this winter sport so appreciated by people. From 6 to 14 years old, he participated to alpine skiing competitions and won a few races. At around 15, he competed in the freestyle category. Besides being a ski instructor, he worked as a landscaper for 9 years and he now got his personal trainer diploma.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>In over a decade of being a ski instructor, Thomas learned how to reassure, advise and give confidence to his students in order to make them progress. Thomas discovered the resort of Menuires thanks to his father who used to ski here back when he was a teenager. As for his job at the ESF, he chose this school for its professionalism and its ability to teach in a chill atmosphere at the same time.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition to being a great skier, Thomas admits liking all kind of extreme sports such as paragliding, speedriding, free falling, wakeboarding and diving!</div><div><br></div><div>His best teaching memories are from off-piste sessions in the early morning with great skiers but also moments of improvement for beginners. His favorite slope is the Combe du machon.&nbsp;</div>

<div>On sks since two years old, Valérie grew up and maintained her passion for skiing in the vast domain of Avoriaz. For 10 years, she was a member of the Morzine-Avoriaz ski club and therefore took part in numerous competitions allowing her to perfect her skills. <b>esf</b>, which she joined more than 20 years ago, represents the professionalism of dedicated instructors. In order to transmit her passion for skiing to her students, Valérie favours theory but above all practice with a lot of humour. It is important to her that her students feel good during her ski lessons. Her best teaching memories are the smiles of the children when they get to ski well.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>When the ski season ends, Valerie is a photographer. In general, Valerie enjoys sports such as hiking, playing tennis, golfing and mountain biking. She also visits painting and photography exhibitions. Finally, because of her passion for photography, Valerie has visited all five continents!&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>In Avoriaz, Valérie doesn't really have any favourite slopes. She mainly likes the variety offered by the many slopes in the resort.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>
