Jan’s clients say:
“Jan is everything you could hope for in an instructor—knowledgeable, thoughtful, patient, and incredibly kind. From the very beginning, he made both kids feel completely comfortable and confident, while still challenging them in all the right ways to improve their skills. His ability to strike that balance is so special and not easy to find
Beyond his excellent instruction, Jan went above and beyond for our entire family. He helped us navigate the mountain seamlessly, assisted with carrying skis, and made each day feel effortless and enjoyable. He was always punctual, professional, and an absolute delight to be around.
What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared—not just about teaching, but about making the entire experience memorable for our family. Carter and Sadie adored him, and so did we.”- 1 April 2026
