Dear Mike,
I just wanted to say thank you for a "once in a lifetime" skiing experience. I had a great time and achieved my CSIA level 1. There's no way I could have done that without the excellent tuition from people like Mike, Kim and Kevin and I can't emphasise too much how their knowledge and experience and their ability to diagnose and correct my bad habits has helped me to enjoy "the mountain experience". I have been in "ski school" many times before (in Austria, France, Switzerland, Norway and twice before in Canada) but I can honestly say that the instruction on a Dempsey course is second to none.

Add to that the comfortable and friendly environment and a large group of like minded people and you have created a unique and memorable experience.
