"Ross has been a fantastic instructor for my family for many years. He makes large, mixed-ability groups feel included and safe, while helping everyone improve their skiing. His off-piste expertise challenges even strong skiers, and his planning, restaurant recommendations, and knowledge of the ski areas make every trip seamless. We trust him completely and return year after year."
