Skivolaro

Skivolaro was built by a small team of experienced skiers, snowboarders and outdoor gear specialists who have collectively spent decades on Swiss slopes. We combine hands-on equipment testing with rigorous research to produce guides you can rely on before making purchasing or rental decisions. Our team has skied resorts from Davos to Saas-Fee, giving us direct insight into the conditions and demands of Swiss alpine terrain. We write for real skiers — not to sell you the most expensive option, but to help you find what actually works.

Marcus Lindqvist

Founder & Ski Gear Specialist

Marcus has been skiing Swiss and Scandinavian alpine terrain for over 20 years and spent five seasons working as a ski instructor in Verbier. He founded Skivolaro to fill the gap between manufacturer marketing and practical, honest equipment advice. His focus is on ski and binding selection for intermediate to advanced skiers.

Carla Feretti

Snowboard Equipment Editor

Carla is a certified snowboard instructor with over a decade of experience testing freeride and all-mountain boards across Swiss resorts. She contributes all major snowboard content to Skivolaro, from beginner setup guides to advanced splitboard reviews. Her hands-on testing approach ensures recommendations are grounded in real riding experience.

Jonas Breitner

Mountain Safety Advisor

Jonas holds a Swiss alpine guiding qualification and has worked with ski schools in Grindelwald and Engelberg for fifteen years. He contributes Skivolaro's avalanche awareness content and backcountry safety guidance, drawing on professional mountain experience rather than theory alone. His priority is making safety information accessible to recreational skiers without oversimplifying the risks.

Sophie Marchand

Ski Boot & Fitting Specialist

Sophie trained as a boot fitter in Geneva and has worked with recreational skiers and competitive racers to solve common fit problems like pressure points, heel lift and forefoot compression. She writes Skivolaro's boot selection and fitting guides, translating technical flex and last-width specifications into plain language. Her advice has helped hundreds of skiers find comfortable boots that improve their on-mountain performance.

Tobias Weller

Content Researcher & Gear Tester

Tobias tests equipment across Swiss resorts each season, documenting performance differences in real alpine conditions rather than relying solely on manufacturer specifications. He handles comparative content for skis, helmets and protective gear, applying a systematic testing methodology to each product category. His background in sports science informs the structured approach Skivolaro takes to gear evaluation.
