Ollie Bull

UK and Alpine Coach

With a love for all sports and travelling, skiing allowed me to combine the two and made for the perfect career. I began skiing at the age of seven during family holidays and on Hemel Hempstead dry slope.

Just after my 16th birthday, at the earliest opportunity, I took my BASI Alpine Level 1 and began working at The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead. This was a great experience and prompted my decision to take skiing further.

I continued to train and develop my skiing with some brilliant coaches at The Snow Centre, leading me to take my IASI Alpine Level 2 and, Qualified to work in the mountains and with some great teaching experience from Hemel, shortly after turning 18, I travelled to New Zealand to complete my first ski season with Treble Cone Ski School. Since this, I have worked in Fiesch and Davos, Switzerland and Italy.

Throughout these winter seasons, I have continued to further my qualifications and am currently studying French to complete my ISIA stamp, whilst training for my eurotest, hoping to achieve my Level 4 ISTD in the near future.

This qualification pathway is where I met Phil Brown and the Impulse racing team, taking my IASI Race Coach qualifications with Phil as my examiner. Inspired by the course and Phil’s enthusiasm for race coaching, I soon started work for Impulse. Initially in the UK but latterly working at Landgraaf and a number of camps for Impulse across the alps

I really enjoy this part of the sport and it has been an invaluable experience for my career as a Ski Instructor and Race Coach.

When I’m not in the mountains, I’m usually found in Greater London working as a Carpenter, helping to run a small Carpentry and Joinery firm or on a golf course.
