Dave Walker

Ski Instructor

Ski Resort: Val d’Isere

Dave had the bug for skiing from a young age, taking every opportunity to get skis on his feet. After finishing a Maths degree at university, Dave left straight for a season in the Alps. A decade later and Dave is still here. Dave is as passionate about skiing now as he has ever been! For much of the last ten years, Dave has chased winters from European resorts like Verbier and Val d’Isère down to Thredbo in Australia.

Dave – “When it comes to teaching skiing I love variety, from children strapping skis on the first time to experienced adults. From mastering snowplough to carving through race courses or floating through the powder off-piste.”

Due to recent travel restrictions, Dave has taken the last few summers away from Australia and now spends them working in web development. Which makes him that much more excited for the snow to return each year!

“So far this season I have been fortunate enough to have three lessons with TDC Instructor David Walker and they have all been brilliant. In both the theory and its practical application, David clearly communicates exactly what you need to do to bring your skiing on to the next level. He is kind, patient and fun to ski with. They have been a pleasure.”
