A bit about Phyllida :

Phyll started skiing on dry slopes in the UK and after her first ski holiday on snow, realised it was a sport she loved. A trained physiotherapist, she skied with the British Army in Norway and taught them in France and Austria. Leaving the Army and along with her husband Rich, they fell in love with Verbier and moved here to live and work.Skiing for Phyll is about having fun in the mountains, whether its downhill, going up (touring) with Filos the dog, or her favourite, skiing in the powder. She is an experienced teacher of all ages – age range to date is 2 – 78yrs, She delights in introducing new skills, improving existing or simply showing off the mountains. Phyll is also qualified in Adaptive skiing. She believes the mountain experience and learning new skills is open to all by increasing confidence so everyone has fun and simply loves their holiday.In the summer she is mainly sailing around the med with Rich and Filos. The bike does make an appearance at the end of the season but its pretty steep here in Verbier and its used to counter balance her love of cooking!
