Bianca Torstensson

I first came to Verbier with my family when I was six years old, and I've been coming back almost every year since. Somewhere along the way, I started dreaming about one day working here as a ski instructor – so being here now feels pretty special.

I grew up as a competitive gymnast and later became a gymnastics coach, so sport and helping people develop have always been a big part of my life. I love that moment when someone achieves something they didn't think they could do – sharing their excitement never gets old.

In summer, you'll find me on the west coast of Sweden, where I live next to what I'd argue is Sweden's best beach – basically the Swedish Bahamas, just with slightly colder water. I love being active, outdoors and around people.

I'm used to having a microphone in my hand. I work as an announcer at international gymnastics competitions, sometimes in front of thousands of people – and somehow manage to get thousands of gymnasts to do exactly what I tell them to. So getting a ski group to follow me down the mountain should hopefully be manageable.
