Charlie Laine

Charlie’s passion for the mountains sprung to life in 2005 when she spent a season in Tremblant, Canada, and first qualified as an instructor with the Canadian Ski Instructors Association (CSIA). Since then, she has retrained with the British Association of Snowsports Instructors (BASI) and has achieved her ISIA Alpine and Adaptive qualifications, become a BASI Trainer for the Adaptive discipline, and is now nearing completion of her ISTD Alpine.

Since 2008, when she first qualified with BASI, Charlie has gained a wealth of experience teaching skiers with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. She is able to adapt to any learner’s needs and loves that ‘Eureka moment’ when someone new to the sport falls in love with skiing, or when an experienced skier has a breakthrough.
