Sara Hlín Sigurðardóttir

AIMG Level 1 ski guide
AIMG Level 1 Alpine Trekking
AIMG Level 1 Hard Ice

Sara competed in alpine skiing during her childhood and teenage years, up until she switched to coaching for her ski club. She earned diplomas as a ski instructor and coach and headed to Austria to work as a ski instructor for one winter. When she started flying as a pilot for Icelandair and having her own kids, she moved to the sideline and took up a role as a ski parent – mastering the art of making good cocoa and cheese sandwiches!

In order to become self sufficient in skiing on glaciers and off piste, Sara gained mountaineering education and was soon guiding others in the mountains.  As if that weren’t enough, she also works full time as a captain flying for Icelandair as well as being a lawyer, which she uses working for the Icelandic Airline Pilots’ Association.

As a lover of both skiing and flying, heliskiing is Sara’s absolute favourite!
