Works at: Coronet Peak & The Remarkables
Originally from Scotland, Colin began his ski instructing career at Coronet Peak in 1995. For two decades, he followed the winter seasons between Queenstown, New Zealand, and Val d’Isère, France.
Colin has been an Examiner with the New Zealand Snowsports Instructors Alliance (NZSIA) since 2000 and is a valued Instructor and Trainer with the Coronet Peak and The Remarkables Snowsports School.
His passion for skiing is also channelled into running SITCo, an organisation that delivers ski instructor training courses and performance ski camps for aspiring ski and snowboard professionals.
Although he’s no longer based in Val d’Isère during the northern hemisphere winters, Colin remains actively involved in The Development Centre (TDCski), the ski school he co-founded.
From 2003 to 2019, Colin also served as a BASI Trainer within the British system, and in 2019, he proudly represented NZSIA at the Interski Congress in Pamporovo, Bulgaria.
When he’s not on the slopes, Colin enjoys spending time on the golf course, continuing his “training” for the PGA Senior Tour—though he’s been told that might be more wishful thinking than a realistic goal.
