BSA Staff 2017/18 currently being updated

Founder of the BSA and former British ski team downhiller.

In 1996 Malcolm reformed the Ski High School as the British Ski Academy in Les Houches, Chamonix Valley, where operations were run first from Les Campanules Hotel and then from 2001 at the BSA's exclusive base, the Etoile des Neiges. All of the current British Alpine Team have trained with Malcolm and the BSA at some point in their careers. Now based in the Aosta Valley, the BSA programme is expanding to include FIS racers and the Academy continues to grow with its excellent sporting ethos and the generous support of sponsors and friends.

In her second season with BSA, Natalia has been coaching athletes in Europe, New Zealand and USA for 8 years (16 consecutive winters on the northern and southern hemispheres).

USSA Alpine coach of the year 2016, Rob joins us on a year's sabbatical from the prestigious Ski & Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV).

Formerly Steamboat Springs Head Coach and US Ski Team Regional Coach before joining SSCV, Rob had an SSCV partnership with Ski Gymnasium Stams where he spent over 3 months training in their system, as well as studying the Norwegian system on a fact finding mission in 2014.

Rob is motivated to continue to push GBR athletes to higher levels and to see each athlete reach their full ski racing potential. He says his greatest satisfaction as a coach is seeing maximum progress, and athletes who put their chin in the fall line!
