Elke Braun-Elwert
Elke's passion is ski mountaineering, alpine climbing, mountain biking and her two active young kids.
She has climbed and skied throughout the New Zealand Alps for most of her life, represented New Zealand in ski racing and skier-cross at several Universiade Winter Games, spent numerous seasons ski instructing in Switzerland, has ski guided in Japan, ski toured in Kyrgyzstan and climbed in Peru.
When not guiding, Elke helps run Alpine Recreation - this can involve anything from web design, IT support, marketing and advertising, to logistics, hut restocks and staff training.
Elke is also an internationally qualified ski instructor and has a Masters degree in Computational Biomechanics.
