Beth Lloyd

Where

Beth started her instructing career on the slopes of Devon, working alongside school at the local ski centre. It was then she discovered her love for skiing and sharing it with others. In 2012 she moved out to the mountains full time, pursuing work in resorts all around the world, including France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Australia and Switzerland. During this time she worked in a wide range of ski instructor roles, providing lessons for all ages and abilities before finally settling in Zermatt in 2017, making it her mountain home.

Why

Being bought up in a family of mountain lovers, Beth has always felt at home in an Alpine environment. She takes pride in sharing this part of her upbringing with the people she skis with, passing on that same enthusiasm for the local culture, geography and wildlife of the area.

Beth has been teaching for over ten years now, both as a ski instructor and art tutor. She enjoys the craft, taking time to make sure that her lessons are carefully curated to the individual student. Everyone is different, physically and psychologically. The magic comes in finding the nuances that work specifically for each person to achieve the best results.

How

Starting her qualification pathway in the UK, Beth gained internal recognition at her home slope before starting with BASI back in 2012. Working in resorts all over the world offered the chance to train with coaches from a variety of systems, giving her the chance to build her own, well-rounded approach to teaching. Beth now holds the ISIA and Swiss Patente qualifications, with the goal of becoming full cert in both the British and Swiss systems in the coming winters.

Coaching Philosophy

Beth is always sure to tailor her lessons individually to suit every client. Goal negotiation is important, whether it’s skiing new slopes, building confidence with new skills, getting to a favourite restaurant or even heading over to Italy for the day! However you wish your day to be, Beth will work hard to make it happen, with all the small details taken into account; taxis, restaurant reservations, extra activities, live music locations, local knowledge and relations -you name it.
