"Thank you Richard – that was the best ski trip I have ever had. You made me feel like a pro! Thank you for being so encouraging and patient, and mostly for being so enthusiastic that I just wanted to ski better. It was great to learn about avalanche safety. It was something that I hadn’t really considered before. All in all a fantastic experience and I will be recommending you to all my friends."
