<div>Child of the resort, Kevin grew up in a family of ski instructors. For him who started skiing very early, at 3 years old, it was logical for him to follow this path and to share his knowledge with the ESF students.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Such an expertise can be explained by his 10 years of competition with the sports club of Tignes thanks to which he won many cups. Kevin is very fond of sports involving sliding on any surfaces. In summer, he is also an instructor of wakeboard, waterskiing and sail. However, it admits having a soft spot for skiing.

<div>Originally from the Rhône department, Alex has been skiing since the age of 4. It is in one of the children’s gardens of the ESF that he came to like this sport. His parents would tell you that he was insufferable because he always wanted to pass the other kids. He discovered the resort of Tignes Val Claret with his parents during school holidays.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>When he was a child, his dream was to become a ski instructor or an airline pilot. Later on, he chose to become a ski instructor, a job he has been enjoying for 10 years. To teach you at best, his watchwords are empathy and humour! The ESF is a big family for him.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Great sportsman at heart, when he is not on the slopes, Alex works as a lifeguard and a physical coach.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>His favourite slope is the Double M in the morning.</div>

Quite unusual, it is the resort’s former advertising slogan ‘Tignes, ski 365 days a year’ that acted as a revealing element, making him want to be part of the resort’s team. Throughout the years, Philippe skied and taught in various resorts, his experiences confirmed the fact that he was right in choosing Tignes Val Claret.
