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.
