Thanks to him my daughter learned how to ski little bit in few hours and more importantly she looses fear from lifts and hills. Best money I spent on that trip!

Jack went above and beyond to teach my son the basics of snowboarding in a short period of time. I wish we had taken a longer lesson. I highly recommend Jack.

Jack was very nice and taught my son a lot of new skills and made one hour private class fun and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Jack for private sessions.

Great instructor for our beginner 6 year old. Adapted to his learning / skills, taught him a ton, and gave us great tips at the end on where to go next. Would definitely come back and take another class with Jack

Jack worked at Charleigh’s pace, was very engaging and encouraging, but also pushed her to go farther where appropriate. He was straightforward about corrections making them easy to understand and apply. As I’m not an experienced skier myself, I don’t have any comments or suggested improvements for Jack!

Jack was very pleasant, patient and encouraging. I’ve gotten into some bad habits, and he did a great job of identifying key points to work on and showing me some helpful drills. All-around terrific instructor and I’d definitely take another lesson with Jack!

Snow schoolers is very organized and I recommend them and Granilbaken to friends with beginners. Jack was awesome yet again. Abby has gained a lot of confidence and had a fantastic time working with him. Give Jack a raise! We will definitely request him for future lessons.

He helps give you real time feedback on developing good habits. He is nice and encouraging and knows his stuff. I wish I never waisted time and money on a group lesson at Palisades we did 2 weeks ago.

Both our girls are different level of proficiencies. Younger one was a little apprehensive about learning to ski. Jack was able to get her comfortable and they both made good progress through the afternoon. We are looking forward to another session this afternoon.

The boys and I really liked Jack. He was personable and fun but also really focused on teaching as much as he could to the boys in the time they had together. We liked his firm but friendly approach. He gave me a really thorough debrief after the lesson including tips on what the boys should focus on next.

He constantly adapted the lesson to suit my pace - he didn’t talk too much theory or chitchat and we were on the move pretty much the whole time. That was awesome. He was so personable and evidently very experienced. His temperament is calming and encouraging - makes for a stellar teacher.

Jack clearly had a ton of experience teaching young, beginning skiers. He shared some great techniques with my daughter to help her improve her skiing skills. We hope to book more lessons with Jack soon!

Jack really connected with Luca and got him comfortable with him before easing him into some snowboarding. He also did a great job of pushing Luca, but not too fast. Luca loved it and is excited for his next lesson!

Jack was very positive, encouraging and kept the boys optimistic. Also key was his flexibility as required by our emotional 4 year old. He also was very clear with objectives and goals. He also provided realistic expectations and suggestions for next steps. Will absolutely request him again.

Jack is very patient and took time to explain the basics and important safety measures! We hope we had more time with him but surprisingly after some more practice on their own after the 1st lesson .... they did it! So happy and so proud of them they’ve overcome their fears and they were safe⛷

Jack was awesome. My son took snowboarding lessons in the morning and just hated it. We decided to give skiing a try. Jack was able to coax him back onto the snow. He was patient, encouraging and kind. He definitely saved the day. We will look forward to much more time on the snow!

Jack was patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. He is the kind of instructor that every beginning snowboarder should have. He was engaging and friendly throughout the entire lesson. It almost felt as if I was learning from a friend. Evidently, I am not the only that appreciates Jack's expertise; many adults and youth said hi and thanked him for what they learned while he was teaching me. He also checked with other skiers and snowboarders that were struggling and gave them helpful tips. It showed me that he values all visitors and tries his best to ensure a safe and fun experience for us all. Snowboarding is a difficult sport to learn. I took a few lumps as I learned (nothing serious), but I felt confident and comfortable the entire time because Jack was always there to help me up and encourage me to keep trying. By the end of the day, I was able to confidently ride with control and confidence. Taking a lesson with Jack was definitely a worthwhile investment. I'm looking forward to my next snowboarding trip. Gracias, Jack!
