Hello, my name is David "Dave" Preis, i am a passionate Italian/German ski & snowboard instructor based in Zermatt for the last 12 years.

 Off-piste, splitboarding and ski touring guide, snowboard race and freestyle expert available all year round. I am a former snowboard athlete, grew up on an island in southern Italy with windsurfing and wave surfing, football and a passion for motorcycles with some amateur races.

The first time at the age of 12 in the alps i fell in love with them. After years of competing and working during the winter season in the Italian Alps, I decided that even after I stopped competing, I wanted to continue living in this wonderful world of sports, snow, mountains and nature that I had fallen in love with.

then starting professional training courses, first in Italy and then in Switzerland, after many years of courses done, i obtain the highest qualification for winter sports instructor diplomas and start to Teach.

 28 years of experience around the alps, teaching not only the snowsports techniques, but also the love and respect for nature, animals and snowy mountains to my students. 
Come with me, let's go flying on the snow and experience the nature together,  from younger to older...there is no limit ! 

 
I would be happy to guide you on the path from beginner to advanced up to freestyle basics, ski touring with skins or split-boarding and the magnificent Off-piste in zermatt discovering some secret spots.
 what could be better ? 

Can't wait to ski / snowboard with you !
