Fully qualified, I'm teaching skiing for over the last 16 years now from snow plow to off piste. I worked in Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland. I love skiing and I like to share it, it makes my day to see people having as much fun as I do up in the mountains away from the daily stress. It's my goal every day I go up there!

I had thee best time with Michael! I was a total beginner - never had stepped into a ski before and by the end of my first lesson so making my way down a blue slope. He was so approachable, fun and really had so much knowledge to give! I had the best time. I recommended him to my boyfriend who then booked him the next day to go off piste and explore. When we're back in Verbier we will absolutely be booking a session with him again.

In the space of 5 days, Mickael took my kids (13 and 11) from zero experience beginners to confident skiers capable of getting down steep pistes under control (we even took them down a black run!) He has a good way with kids, they enjoyed learning with him and are keen for me to book him again for next time. Thoroughly recommended.

Mikael is a great teacher with clear instructions and gave a nice gradual progression of learning to my kids and myself. My kids were ski-ing really well after 2 days. He had lots of patience, a good connection with the kids and he made sure they learnt the basics very solidly.

The lesson with Michael was extremely useful and fun. He gave a lot of advice around technique that was easy to follow and made a difference right away which made me feel safer and more confident. He also gave me different methods to tackle different conditions (narrow vs wider piste, moguls, steep parts etc.) and tried different terrains so that I could improve a bit on everything. I would definitely recommend 3 hours with Michael if you want to improve your skiing!

My son Henry and I had not skied for 2 years and with Mickael’s friendly guidance we were soon up to speed. We had two lessons, where we worked on technique, whilst at the same time, touring the slopes of Verbier. We would both highly recommend his services.

Nous avons pris 4 lecons avec Mickael lors de notre sejour a Verbier. c'etait top! Mickael a su nous faire progresser techniquement tout en rendant la séance ludique et sympathique. Chaque jour nous avons fait un cours à un autre endroit du domaine. Mickael est attenttif à tous ces petits détails qui font un séjour au ski réussi! ;-)

Michael was a great instructor, we had a 3 hours lesson and he helped me improve my technique and gain my confidence back very quickly. He was very encouraging, patient and also did a great job at teaching me how to get around and learned the Verbier area.

I had a 3 hour session with Mickael and I feel it was very complete. Being beginner I ended the class feeling very comfortable with going down red and black pists. We also did some fun exercises and even tried off pist! I had a great and fun experience. Mickael is super friendly and would definitely recommend taking lessons with him.

We really enjoyed our lesson with Mikael. He is very attentive, patient and gave us great tips to get over our fear and to sharpen our skills. He took the time to explain all the drills and I felt so much improvement after my lesson with him and would definitely recommend him!

Mickael was really great. It was our first time skiing so I was quite anxious about all the preparation and Mickael recommended a place to hire our equipment and told me how to get the ski passes. He was happy to accommodate our mixed ability group of me and my two sons and was able to really help us make the most of our three hour lesson. We were excited to progress from the gentlest slope to the slightly bigger one in our first class. Would definitely book again.

I had a superb lesson with Mickael. I am an intermediate skier so we started on blue runs to begin with. However, through Mickaels coaching, feedback and expertise, we went on a black run! I would highly recommend booking a lesson with him. Mickael is an expert instructor and very professional. I will be booking a lesson with him again when I return to Verbier. Thank you, Mickael.

Mickael was an amazing instructor. He was very patient with me, and taught me how to put skis on, and got me all the way to a blue run by the end of the day! I had a great time and felt like it moved at the right pace the whole lesson. It was a really fun introduction to skiing! Thanks!

FAQs
Where is the meeting point?

You can arrange the meeting point with your chosen instructor by using the Maison Sport messaging system. We recommend agreeing this before you book your lessons, but it can always be arranged at a later date. The instructor should be able to suggest somewhere that is convenient for you both.

What qualifications do the instructors have?

Any instructor that has a blue ‘verified’ tick icon on their profile has had their qualifications vetted and verified by the Maison Sport team, the level of qualification required to have a verified account on Maison Sport varies slightly by country. As follows: France – all verified instructors must carry a ‘Carte Professionelle’ licence, the qualification requirements for this licence are very high. The licence is administered by the French Government (to attain a Carte Professionelle most instructors will have studied for an average of 5 years+ to attain the correct level of qualification). Aside from requiring the instructor to have the highest level of qualification, which includes numerous teaching and technical performance diplomas in skiing or snowboarding, European mountain safety courses and the Euro speed test, the instructors are also required to have a criminal record check and a first aid certificate. Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Finland, Scotland, Spain – all verified instructors must carry a minimum level of qualification which must be at the ISIA card level or above. Instructors working independently must provide documentation to show they meet the local regulatory requirements to do so and instructors that are working for a ski school must provide details of the school they work for.

How many people can take part in the lesson?

Unless otherwise agreed with the instructor no more than 6 people can take part in a lesson, each instructor will have their own policy for this, so it is best to just double check with them by sending a message. Most instructors won't charge extra if there is more than 1 person taking part in the lesson, but always best to check with them before booking.s

How do I book?

If you are on a desktop computer or laptop, you will see a box on the right hand side of the screen which contains various lesson options and pricing, simply select the lessons you would like and then click 'Book now', then follow the instructions to make payment.
