Here’s what our clients have said about Roys coaching

“He’s a very patient, thoughtful and clear instructor, which was what we needed, and really listened to what we wanted to get out of it. We would definitely book him again”

“I know that the more experienced skiers really loved their lesson and were challenged and had a load of fun at the same time. Andy said, thanks for striking just the right balance to bring us on, without pushing us over the edge!”

“Roy was a lovely, knowledgeable, encouraging and very patient instructor, we had a great laugh with him and really enjoyed our lessons.
