Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or an expert, whether you are preparing to take the first plunge or already diving into the steep slope, I am proposing you tailor made ski or snowboard lessons that are adapted to your level and guarantee a steady progression based on personalized guidance.
If the snow is scarce in Megève, let's go and find it higher up in Chamonix. If it has fallen in Italy, let's cross the Mont Blanc tunnel and snowboard in Courmayeur. There is always a way to find good snow conditions.
Let's meet at your place, at your hotel or at your chalet. I will pick you up and give you a ride. If you've already left, let's meet on the slopes, at the top, at the bottom or on the terrasse of a café. I will drive you back for the Après-Snowboard!

"Cher Jean-Michel, un grand merci à vous de m'avoir permise, grâce à votre patience sans faille et à votre sens pédagogique, de "décoller" en ski alors que je partais de "zéro" et ce à un âge auquel d'autres pensent peut-être déjà à leur retraite sportive! Toujours de bonne humeur, souriant et confiant (et avec de bonnes adresses de restaurants et bars en poche!), vous avez su me motiver pour enfin réaliser mon rêve d'apprendre à skier!"

Dear Jean-Michel, Thank you for probably the best skiing week that our family has ever had! Your knowlege of such a large area from the right mountain for the day down to the snatched small 10 turn powder runs made this a fantastic experience. You catered for a large variance in skiing ability making our whole team feel the experience without anybody having to hold us up. From the restaurant bookings to running us around from Megeve, Courmayer and the rest of the Chamonix valley, you made us feel very well looked after. Always with good humour. Always with style. Your technique of teaching off piste technique was particularly good with small bytes of very well thought through tips that were given occasionally and helped everyone. Thank you Jean Michel for making our holiday so special. With kindest wishes,

Jean-Michel was an amazing instrutor! Very insightful and clear. He was extermely helpful in guiding my friend Jill and I in understanding the pistes for our next day of skiing by ourselves. He truly had a positive impact on our abilities and understanding of the Mont Blanc area we were exploring for the week! I have already been reccomending him to our friends.

As a very nervous skier, on my annual winter holiday with a group of very experienced snowboarders, I couldn't want for a better and more helpful instructor. Jean-Michel is kind enough to collect me from and return me to my accommodation, remembers me from year to year my progression, is very friendly and provides just the right mix of reassurance and consistency whilst encouraging me to improve; it seems to happen without me noticing! I always feel completely safe despite my neuroses! Jean-Michel is also very knowledgable about both Chamonix and Megeve, is flexible with timings of lessons and always easy to get hold of and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I wouldn't want to use anyone else!

It was my first tour with Jean-Michel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The way up was challenging but fun with varied, well-chosen, terrain. Then a great long slope down of deep snow to the bottom of a valley with a charming stream. In addition, Jean-Michel had thought out all the key ingredients for a successful mountain tour: the right salami and cheese, crusty bread, and hot tea. He even arranged for the perfect weather: lots of snow and sun. Jean-Michel is also good at giving advice: he does so sparingly, at the right moment, with common sense and good humor. Congratulations!

We had our ski holiday in Chamonix the week of 7 feb 2016. Jean Michel came Highly recommended to us by the chalet manager, and rightly so. Unfortunately, the weather that week was variable with a lot of snow, wind, and low visibility conditions. Jean Michel's knowledge of all of the resorts in the area was a holiday saver. He knew each day the best place to ski given the conditions. Which meant we were able to ski the entire week. Had we not had him as an instructor, we would have lost 1-2 days skiing at minimum. He took us to Courmayer, Megeve, and Les Houches. Equally important was his flexibility as an instructor. We had a large group with varied abilities. Jean Michel was flexible in accommodating all levels. One day he would ski with the children, the next day he would do some off piste skiing with the dads and older children, and the next would be the mums. Each group was very happy with their instruction during the day. And all the parents in the group were happy with the children's progress. We had a fantastic holiday, thanks in part to Jean Michel. I would be very happy to recommend him as a ski instructor.
