Theo

As a Montessori teacher, Theo is a true asset to the school.
His extensive experience with teaching kids is precious but don’t be fooled by his composure; Theo is a killer on a snowboard. As soon as the winter is over, you won’t see him much around Chamonix but surely somewhere with big waves.

Hi, I’m Jorick

At Skibex, we’ve all known each other for one, two, or almost three decades. Therefore it was easy to write their short bio. I then realised it is much harder to write about yourself.
I will be on skis every winter day, teaching or touring the mountain with friends.
If not skiing, I’ll probably be climbing, reading or busy answering your ski lessons enquiry!
