Sebastien Baribeau
CSIA Level 4 Instructor & Examiner
Meet Sebastien Baribeau: 42 years on skis, and the résumé to match.
Exclusive 1:1 coaching
Ski with Sebastien Baribeau in Hakuba this winter!
Not only is Sebastien one of the most decorated ski instructors in Canada, he’s also a film and commercial producer whose clients include NASA, Apple, Google, Microsoft, IMAX, Cirque du Soleil, and Coca-Cola. It’s an unusual combination, and it shows in how he coaches: precise, structured, and completely unwilling to accept “good enough.”
What that means for you: skiing with Sebastien in Hakuba isn’t a lesson, it’s access to four decades of technique from someone who has spent his career solving hard problems at the highest level, on snow and off. Opportunities like this don’t come around often, and they don’t come to every resort.

"I learned so much skiing with Seb over the past few days and feel he has provided me with the tools and direction needed to elevate my skiing and teaching to the next level. I certainly appreciate the effort it must have taken him to distill the simple essence of skiing from what can seem like infinite complexity, and the generosity with which he imparts his knowledge to others."Owen, Canada
