Joan is an excellent ski instructor who cares deeply about meeting the individual needs of each client. I made some serious improvements very quickly, as Joan assessed my ability level straight away and helped me believe in my own ability. Lessons were perfectly pitched but challenging enough to push me just outside my comfort zone so that I finished each lesson with a great sense of achievement. Joan is highly professional, extremely patient, and his calming presence provides reassurance on even the steepest slopes. I will definitely be booking some more lessons with Joan next season. I have never enjoyed skiing so much! Thanks, Joan! “
