Wang Chen's Profile:
Education: Master’s degree from the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Professional Background:
In 2010, obtained NZSIA (New Zealand Ski Instructors Alliance) Level 1 and 2 alpine skiing instructor qualifications.
In 2012, obtained NZSIA children’s teaching qualification.
Originally, his academic background and career plans had no relation to the skiing industry. Since being introduced to “white gold” in 2003, he became hooked, later describing himself as having started another journey with snow due to being “too addicted,” and turning it into his profession. He went to New Zealand alone to study and train in professional skiing techniques and earned his certification. He has taught at Yuyang Ski Resort, Wanlong Ski Resort, and New Zealand’s Coronet Peak Ski Resort. From 2010–2011, he worked as a ski instructor at Club Med Sahoro Resort in Japan. In the summer of 2011, he taught at Perisher Ski Resort in Australia. From 2011–2012, he served as Vice Principal of the Ski School at Club Med in the Yabuli Resort. Since 2012, he has been the Principal of the Ski School at Beijing Wanlong Bayi Ski Resort.
Teaching Philosophy:
Learning to ski requires not only seeing with the eyes, but also understanding with the mind and feeling with the muscles.
Public skiing should be safe, inclusive, and efficient.
