Helena McClintock

Hels fell in love with skiing as soon as she started in Glenshee, Scotland from the age of 7 – she has been teaching in the Portes du Soleil since 2007, teaching in Champoussin & Les Crosets to begin with and as she successfully achieved her BASI Level 4 (I.S.T.D) & full french equivalence she has been working in Morzine, Les Gets & Avoriaz.
Hard to miss on the slopes – she can often be heard whooping, singing and generally loving life.  She feels so lucky to be living her dream and teaching skiing.

When she’s not on the hill she will be at the other end of your email and booking – always looking to help and help make your ski holiday one to rav  about & remember.  She is passionate about coaching women and has a number of local lassies who ski with her on a weekly basis.

I learnt to ski as a young child and have spent the last 10 years exploring and working in mountains all around the world from Slovakia to New Zealand, teaching people of all ages and abilities. I’m a fully certified ski instructor, holding the BASI Level 4 ISTD and Carte Professional. I now work as a ski instructor and ski touring guide in France and in Scotland. In the summers I work for Fall Line Magazine and I run my own company Yoyosno, we offer luxury ski and yoga retreats aimed at developing ski performance and strengthening the connection between body and mind.
