Roy Henderson

Quite simply it is hard to find an instructor with the depth of experience Roy has had!

Why ski with Roy

Roy has spent far too many seasons to count working across the Alps. He was based in Courcheval for many years before heading back to Scotland and working full time for BASI. In his role as BASI Training Manager he was responsible for the delivery of all BASI courses, and the whole Training Body. There aren’t many people in the Industry who have the respect of so many high level professionals. We’re delighted that Roy has decided to join us and bring his depth of knowledge and experience into our Team.

Clients love Roys calm and quiet coaching approach, making people feel relaxed brings out the best in them.

About ROY

Originally from Aberdeen Roy spent many years living and working in the 3 Valleys, he is a highly experienced Climber and loves to spend his days off touring in the Mountains. He still heads up the team of Guides that deliver the Off Piste & Mountain Safety and European Mountain Safety modules for BASI instructors. He is one of the most knowledgeable Mountain men you could find!

What Chairlift conversations to have with ROY

Ask him to point out the Mountains he hasn’t climbed in the Alps, its probably easier that asking for the ones he has climbed!
