Qualifications
DEJEPS French full qualification
Get to know Pascal
I’m Pascal Prot, and my love for the slopes began at 12 during a family holiday. Growing up just outside Paris, skiing was initially a holiday thrill, but it quickly became a lifelong passion. By 18, I had taken up snowboarding, and this dual love for the mountains led me to earn my French qualification in 2014. Since then, I’ve been sharing my enthusiasm with students in the breathtaking resort of Tignes.
One of my most unforgettable experiences was riding alongside snowboarding legend Eero Ettala and Olympic gold medalist Øystein Bråten in Sweden, thanks to an invitation from a major American snowsport company. It was a week that solidified my longing to share such magical mountain moments with others.
Why did I choose to become an instructor? It’s simple—I adore the mountains and love helping people of all ages discover their magic. Seeing someone’s face light up when they master a new skill or discover something new about the mountain is incredibly rewarding.
When I’m not on the slopes, I’m diving into the skies. With over 6,000 skydives under my belt, I have a passion for capturing the beauty of both the mountains and the sport through photography. In the summer, my focus shifts to professional skydiving, where I teach from basic skills to freestyle techniques. My interests don’t stop there; I’m also drawn to motorsports, particularly go-karting, and I keep my finger on the pulse of ski technology by working as a Skiman during peak weeks and managing social media for skydiving centres.
