Hey I'm

TOM GELLIE

Tom Gellie’s relationship with skiing began on the flat, snowy trails of cross-country skiing, a week each year as a child. However, it wasn’t until he was 22, after completing a Bachelor of Applied Science, that he first ventured into the world of alpine skiing. With a strong foundation in science and a passion for understanding how the body moves, Tom was captivated by the complexity of alpine skiing. What began as a late start quickly transformed into a journey of discovery, blending his academic background with the exhilarating challenge of mastering the slopes.

Tom’s journey wasn’t just about mastering the art of skiing; it was about understanding it from the inside out. While many pursued speed and skill, Tom’s curiosity led him down a different path—one that intertwined skiing with science. He didn’t just want to be a better skier; he wanted to understand why certain techniques worked, how the body’s biomechanics could be optimized for the perfect turn, and how subtle adjustments could transform a skier’s experience.

Through Big Picture Skiing, Tom didn’t just teach skiing; he transformed the way people approached the sport. His videos and coaching sessions became a blend of science and art, where skiers learned not just how to ski better, but why certain techniques worked. His approach was revolutionary, focusing on the small details that made a big difference, whether it was the angle of a knee or the rotation of a hip.

Today, Tom Gellie is more than just a ski coach; he is a pioneer in the world of skiing biomechanics, a mentor to those who seek to push their limits, and a storyteller who shares the art and science of skiing with the world. His journey, from the curious child in the Australian Alps to a globally recognised expert, is a testament to the power of passion, curiosity, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.
