Who was Robbe Mayall?
For those who never knew Robbe, never skied with Robbe, it is hard to convey just how passionate he was about skiing and ski teaching as a way of life. Robbe was devout about helping others find joy in the sport he loved. For students of any level, a ski lesson with Robbe was much more than a few hours spent working on skills. Robbe’s infectious enthusiasm and his ability to coach students to their next level elevated a simple lesson to a life experience. Robbe underpinned every lesson with the belief that skiing reveals much about oneself and one’s life, and that life is best lived when skiing.

You make the difference.
Support the next generation of ski Professionals. Change Lives Forever.
