Subzero Coaching Testimonials
Dominic Li – Alpine Level 1 & Level 2
I have been training with subzero for already a couple years and it has been amazing each time. I have trained with both Jack and Federico, both of which are the best at what they do. I highly recommend Subzero Coaching.
Aticus Crosbie – Autumn Gap
I trained with subzero in the 2023 season and I completed level 1 and 2. I definitely think that Jack and Federico are the best at what they do and I would not want to train with anyone else
Aiva Struja – Autumn Level 1 course
Being taught by Jack and Fede was a pleasure. The theory learned in the classroom was backed up with extensive practical lessons. I learned so much and many more tips and tricks than I had anticipated, I cannot wait to get back this season for another dose of Subzero coaching.
Maya Blair – Autumn Gap + Winter ISIA Level 3 Team
I had a wholly great experience training with Jack and Fede at Subzero. Not only are they both incredibly knowledgeable about skiing and ski instructing, they are also highly encouraging, approachable, and dedicated coaches who genuinely care about each of their trainees. I highly recommend doing any of their courses.
David Behmke – Autumn Gap
A great place to kick start or further your ski instruction journey. Coaching is top notch and tailored to each student, which ensures everyone drastically improves their ski performance and teaching. A very welcoming and fun environment in Zermatt created by the coaches of Subzero.
Carson Brzeczek – Autumn Gap + ISIA L3 Team
“Fede is an amazing coach. I participated in the level one and two certifications course in October and November. After I passed both of those exams I was convinced into staying for the level three training. Over the season I saw myself become the best skier I knew how to be all because of Fede.
My skiing changed for the better and over the eight months I saw huge progress in not only my skiing but also the other participants in my class. Everyone was progressing and trying to become better at what they love.
I am now a full cert in PSIA and I work out of Vail, Colorado.
Without Fede’s intel I would’ve been at the bottom of the totem pole fighting for a decent lesson. Now I get booked into privates, get higher level lessons, even get paid much more for having these certifications.”

Matt Grundy – ISIA L3 + Level 4 Team
“Subzero coaching cannot be recommended highly enough!
I have trained with Subzero’s team for the last two winters, achieving my Level three ISIA and now progressing through the Level four based in the incredible Swiss ski resort Zermatt! Their head coach Federico is very thorough and will never fail to test your skills and push your limits and boundaries! The coaching periods are a great time to meet and train alongside like minded individuals exploring various resorts and fast tracking your career development.”
Matt completed the full Level 3 (7 modules) in one solar year and achieved the Level 4 Tech + ISIA Speed test the following season with us.
Mathias Bjorn – ISIA L3 + Level 4 Team
“I have spent 2 seasons training with Subzero Coaching, and it is the best ski training I have ever received, but it is so much more than just ski training, The coaches does not only make you and incredible skier, but they also help you understand the industry. For many people the ski industry is far from their normal day job, and Subzero really understand that and are more than just a coach, they are also a mentor.
I would recommend this highly to anyone there ask me where to go training. There is a reason they have been nominated as the best training program in Europe. It is simply because they are.
They work hard and put everything into it, and if you do the same your skiing will reach the next level.”
Mathias completed the full Level 3 (7 modules) in one solar year training with us.
Tom Spencer – ISIA Level 3 Team
“I spent the 18/19 season training with Subzero and can’t praise Fede and the rest of the team enough!
Fantastic coaching and training that has increased not just, my ability but also my understanding of the mechanics and science behind skiing well no end.
Just wish I was training with them again this season.”
Will Wing Pang – ISIA Level 3 Team
“All the exercises have been useful to my skiing career; I saw a huge improvement in all areas of my skiing, longs, shorts, bumps and off piste. One thing that really helped was to understand how I preferred to learn. Being able to better understand new ideas and practices made a big difference; as well as how to teach differently. Excellent training, excellent trainers, excellent company. Just do it.”
Will passed his Austrian qualification at the end of the season with us.
Alistar “Griff” Scobbie – Level 4 & Speed Test Training
“I joined several Subzero courses over two seasons to prepare for my Level 4 Tech and Speed Test. I found the quality of the training second to none and very personalised to my requirements. Fede (my coach) always took the time to discuss goals with each individual on the course and helped everyone to maximise their potential through a dedicated and targeted training program.
In addition, the ongoing support from Fede was excellent and I always felt that I could contact him day and night if I had a specific question about my ongoing training. Subzero was a breath of fresh air to me – and it certainly worked as I passed both tech and speed test at the end of the season completing my level 4.
I would not hesitate to recommend them, whatever your level.”
Ian Mearns – ISIA Level 3 Team
“My skiing has improved massively, I came into the season below ISIA standard and with the help of Subzero Coaching I have managed to pass my level 3 technical exam and am comfortably skiing to this level since the exam.
My teaching has also improved tremendously, again with the help of Subzero Coaching but also I have gained a lot of real life teaching from the ski school during busy periods.”
Ian’s advice?
“Most of all … embrace it!!!!!!!”
Ian completed the full Level 3 (7 modules) in one solar year training with us
Adrian Foster – Level 4 Team
Great coaches are visionaries.
Great coaches instill, nurture, and encourage vision, then model and motivate… Surrender to it and go back for more as I did with Subzero Coaching.
Kieran Whelan – Autumn Gap Course
“The course has been really interesting; it started off completely stripping back my technique and going back to basics. It was really interesting to re-learn step by step the components of skiing technique, it gave me a much better understanding of the way I ski and how my future students should be learning to ski”
“The lectures on equipment was very insightful. Now I actually know what to look for when buying my equipment in future.”
Rihards Anson – Level 2 Team
I did my level 2 training program before the exam. Subzero is The Best!
High qualified coaches. Lots of individual feedback. Had a great time and improved myself a lot. Looking forward for Level 3 training.
Ellie Braine – Autumn Gap Course
“I am really enjoying the course, even though it is tough. It is also extremely rewarding when you do progress and achieve things you couldn’t achieve at the beginning. I have definitely had my good and my bad days, but the patience and support of the whole group have helped me so much.”
Gemma Deed – ISIA Level 3 Team
Her advice?
“Do it. The ISIA programme offers way more than just on snow training and exceeded all my expectations”
Gemma completed the full Level 3 (7 modules) in one solar year training with us
Naomi Gordon – Race Coach Training
Head Coach Fede is extremely insightful, and has comprehensive knowledge in training, technique, physiology and conditioning; all delivered in a finely tuned package that’s perfect for both instructors in training and athletes alike.
Lello Clark – ISIA Level 3 Team
“This was my first winter season and it couldn’t have gone better. I met some really great people and the fact we all got on so well really made it a season never to be forgotten.”
“I set myself a few goals before the season began and one of them was to gain more teaching experience. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to teach as much as I actually did, so all on all I am really happy to have had the opportunity and I feel far more confident with teaching.”
His advice?
“Sign up. Now.”
Charlie Prowse – Autumn Gap Course
“One thing that I have learnt that has really changed my skiing is how tall I stand. Before I came on the course I felt that I was quite low but from the video recording that we do I have seen that I stand very tall. It really helped me as I can see how I ski and have now corrected this. Skiing with a much more stable body position has improved my skiing greatly.”
