ABOUT ME

Meet Lorenzo. From World Cup racing to your days in Zermatt.

Lorenzo Catapano smiling in the mountains

I’m Lorenzo Catapano, a former Italian national team snowboarder and World Cup competitor.

A lifetime on snow has taught me the value of commitment, attention to detail and understanding each rider. Today, in Zermatt, I bring that experience to your snowboard coaching or ski lesson — helping you build confidence, improve your technique and enjoy the mountain at your own pace.

MY STORY AS A SNOWBOARDER

I first put on skis at three years old. At ten, I stepped onto a snowboard for the first time — and discovered a passion that would stay with me for life. At thirteen, I joined a ski college in the Veneto Alps, where school and training became part of the same journey. At sixteen, I was recruited by the Italian national snowboard team and moved to Aosta. Racing followed, taking me all the way to the World Cup. Today, in Zermatt, I want to pass that passion on to others: helping you enjoy your first days on snow, improve your riding or work towards snowboard competitions. I’m also a ski instructor; competition coaching is for snowboarding only.

LC SNOW ACADEMY · PROJECT IN DEVELOPMENT

Building the next generation of snowboard racers.

LC Snow Academy is my project in development: an academy dedicated to helping young riders grow into snowboard racing. My ambition is to bring the experience I gained with the Italian national team and on the World Cup circuit into a focused coaching environment for the next generation. Zermatt is my base, and I also travel abroad for coaching by prior booking. The academy is still taking shape; contact me to discuss your rider’s goals and the opportunities we can plan together. Racing coaching is for snowboarding only.
