Mike was a "Hiring clinic" coach and formateur in both the US and France for many years. Mike was a member of the 1st. P.S.I.A. National Academy in Mt. Hood, Oregon in the US.

He also represented the USA at the French National School in Chamonix (L'ENSA) in both 1975 and in 1976 where he obtained, with "mention", from the French Government his French "Diplômé de Moniteur ".

Mike is a firm believer in "private lessons".... as the return on investment (ROI) is always higher than in a group lesson, it's the "one on one" aspect, the immediate professional "error correction" and lots of patience with a big smile that makes all the difference.

Regarding class lessons; there are however mitigating circumstances as when the group is "homogeneous" and not too large, "in a group we will always ski at the level of the slowest skier of the group".

Morning, afternoon, all day and all week group lessons are available. Private lessons are available on a basis of two hours, half day and all day.

Reservations are highly recommended and as far in advance as possible. Some of Mike's clients reserve a year in advance!
