Community Outreach
The Robbe Mayall Ski Education Foundation (RMSEF) is dedicated to supporting the growth and development of ski instructors through need-based scholarships and ongoing mentorship opportunities. Our Community Outreach efforts are aimed at fostering a vibrant, skilled, and connected ski community that embodies Robbe’s values of mentorship, passion, and excellence.
About Community Outreach
At RMSEF, we believe in giving back to the ski community by empowering instructors to grow both professionally and personally. Our outreach initiatives include providing need-based Professional Development Scholarships and creating opportunities for continuing education through programs like the PSIA. These efforts ensure that instructors can refine their skills, share their knowledge, and inspire others on the slopes.
Why It Matters
Robbe Mayall’s legacy is rooted in mentorship and community. Through our outreach programs, we carry forward his mission to uplift ski instructors, remove financial barriers, and promote the art of ski instruction as a lifelong journey. Every instructor supported through RMSEF becomes part of a broader effort to enhance the skiing experience for all.
Supporting Instructors
Each scholarship recipient benefits from access to training and resources that allow them to excel in their roles. These instructors bring the knowledge and inspiration they gain back to their students and colleagues, creating a ripple effect that strengthens the ski community as a whole.

Big Snow. Big Air. Big Skiing. Big Smiles.
Alta ski instructors deliver. The good ones give us new skills, inspire a love of the sport, and fill us with a lifetime of memories.
But becoming a top-notch ski instructor is often a hard road. It takes several years to rise – to gain the training, certifications, build up clientele. It is a catch-twenty-two – all this requires personal time, money, and perseverance.
For those who stick with it the rewards are vast. But many more very talented professionals drop out due to financial or family hardship. “I love it more than anything else”, they say, “but. I wish someone could help, even a little bit.”
Robbe Mayall always helped. He took time to teach, train, inspire, and always gave money to those ski professionals who needed it to keep on going. They need you, too.
You make the difference.
Support the next generation of ski Professionals. Change Lives Forever.
