Mathias Hoejsgaard Reffstrup

I have been skiing since I was a little boy, I have always really enjoyed skiing, but the day I started loving it was my first season in Japan. I did my first season in Japan, and since then my passion for teaching and becoming better has only grown. Now I find myself in beautiful Zermatt, and I couldn’t be more happy about it.

In the summer

I’m the summer I go to Australia and keep on skiing. In between seasons I try and spend as much time with my family as possible

My Zermatt insider tip is:
Ski the yellow runs, best runs in the resort and there’s no one on them.
If I wasn't a Summit instructor:

Before I found ski instructing, I wanted to become a paramedic

3 reasons to ski with me:

1. My number 1 priority is to make the most out of your time, whether you want to become a better skier, or just have fun on the mountain

2. Being safe and having fun is a massive part of my teaching.

3. I am patient, and love having chats about all sorts of topics.
