Who are
YOUR GUIDES / INSTRUCTORS
Tim Boffé
Instructing and Guiding since 2000
After finishing his masters in Sports Science Tim moved to the Alps where he lived for more than 10 years and not only became a snowboarding coach in Belgium but also managed to get his Brevet d’état de Snowboard in France, which allows him to instruct and guide all over Europe. As a trainer A (which is the highest degree in Belgium) he has been training freestyle rookies and has been instructing and examining many future snowboard instructors as a part of the Snowsports Federation of Belgium. He also was an instructor for snowboarding schools like Mint Snowboarding in Avoriaz and Buri Sports in Grindelwald. He then moved on to the world of backcountry guiding and guided clients all over the Austrian alps and Northern Norwegian Mountains around Tromsø for four years.
Valerie Cook
Instructing and Tailguiding since 2005
Val has been ski instructing since she was 15 years old and continued her love for the snowports by doing seasons in Canada and the Alps where she worked as a ski instructor for many years and got her instructing degree through the Belgian Snowsports Federation. She spent four years in the Alps and Northern Norway tail guiding with Tim as the head guide. These days she is mostly focused on snowboarding, but Val still loves to switch to skis now and then. So whatever you prefer, snowboarding or skiing, she will make sure you are well taken care of.
We had the pleasure of spending a few unforgettable days in Åre, and meeting Val and Tim was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Their guidance, professionalism, and warmth made all the difference.
Val gave my wife, Ana, private ski lessons and was incredibly patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable — helping Ana feel confident and enjoy the mountain to the fullest. At the same time, Tim took me out to explore the resort and introduced me to splitboarding. He also helped me refine my technique with clear, practical tips that really made an impact.
Beyond their outstanding service, Val and Tim are simply amazing people — kind, genuine, and passionate about what they do. Spending time with them was not just a part of our activities, it was an essential and memorable part of the experience.
We’re deeply grateful and would recommend them to anyone looking to enjoy Åre with top-notch guidance and great company.

I was lucky to choose thenomadsfamily (Valerie) for two half day private ski lessons in Åre. And I am glad I did. I was a little apprehensive in what I could learn in two sessions, but I came away with a lot of pointers to focus on and am definitely a better, more confident skier than before.
Valerie was great at listening and focusing on the areas that I wished to improve on. Not only was it educational, but most importantly fun! There was some good ‘banter’, must have been that year in Oz!
I highly recommend anyone in the region to reach out to Nomads Ski & Snowboard Academy. I know if I make it back that way I will be getting back in touch for ski lessons or some touring.

Our girls had lessons with Val. They loved her. Expect patience and tons of fun. It was so much fun to watch, and after a few days, it was great to be able to ski with the kids. Highly recommended!!
While looking for a splitboard guide in Åre, Val & Tim were recommended to me, and it worked out right away.
They were very committed to putting together a tour, even in less than ideal conditions, and put a lot of thought into ensuring a great experience! Excellent!
Everything along the way was very professional, with tips from Tim & Val, good conversations, and a great atmosphere throughout the entire tour. Everything was well organized and safe.
Tim & Val are a friendly and professional guide team, which I can recommend to anyone looking for tour guides and an outdoor experience in Åre!
Good luck in the future, and maybe we'll see each other again! 😉

Tim was instrumental in my snowboarding journey. He improved my technique and helped build my confidence on the slopes. I'm grateful for his patience and kindness while I figured it out 🙂 Highly recommend learning with Tim.
The best experience in all of Sweden can be found at The Nomadsfamily and their Nomadsacademy!
Val and Tim, along with their kids, are incredibly hospitable, sweet, and simply fantastic for advice, tips & tricks, and a fantastic time in Åre.
We were only going to stay two nights, but we loved it so much that I unexpectedly booked a three-day hike with Val, just a 40-minute drive from Åre. Mind-blowing.
Just what I needed.
We're going home with incredible memories and a warm feeling.
We look forward to coming back! Thanks 😍

I spent a fantastically educational half day with Tim in Tegefjäll yesterday. I learned more and more correctly in those 2.5 hours than I have in the last 20 years of self-taught snowboarding
Highly recommended 😃👍

Wonderful days of touring in the breathtaking landscape of Are and the surrounding area with these skilled and adventurous guides. They know the area well and are very conscious of their choices. I had a great time! I'll definitely be back...
Took a half day, 2.5 hours, with Tim which was very fun and educational. He analyzed my riding, broke it down into different exercises based on my wishes about what I want to achieve and my lo needs, and afterwards I received a list of tips to be able to continue practicing on my own. I experience a clear improvement in my riding immediately, I feel more confident in my riding with the different tools I got with me and now ride both faster and safer. Recommend for anyone who feels they want to progress in their riding!
Had a really great experience with Val but during the planning phase and the lesson. Thanks for the skiing tips and tricks
