Why MH2ski:
MY approach to skiing and teaching
I have a passion for ski teaching and am highly motivated to help you to unlock your ski potential. Above all, I want you to feel that you’ve been looked after on the mountain.
I learnt to ski as a young adult so I remember the emotions involved in the learning experience. I therefore tailor my ski coaching to your exact needs to help you make lasting breakthroughs in your skiing performance and enjoyment.
I make sure you are on terrain that’s appropriate for your development. I use simple learning steps whilst having fun. I believe in enhancing the skills you already have instead of relying on a rigid technique formula.
In my experience, skiing is often taught as a series of set actions with a one-size-fits-all system. With MH2ski, my approach is different - I am here to meet your needs, not mine. I believe in improving your skill base and giving you a ‘tool-box’ of skills to take your skiing to the next level: I focus on improving your balancing skills, control of pressure, edge and rotation in order to advance your development and increase your confidence.”
I'm delighted to welcome back returning clients to Méribel each winter and I look forward to sharing my love of skiing with new clients this season. You can read a bit more about me below.

Your say
I'm always delighted to receive feedback; here are a few of the kind words you've sent me:
‘I was a 50 year old ‘red run cruiser’ who skied once a year and was becoming progressively slower and more timid. I now carve properly and am unfazed by blacks. This change in attitude is almost entirely due to Martin. Fun, thoughtful and technically excellent, I continue to book him regularly as our ski instructor.’
Chris Jones, Putney
‘I’ve been taught by many instructors who love to ski, but not many who love to teach. Martin’s passion for teaching really made a difference to how and what I learnt – definitely the best lessons I’ve had to date.'
Roger Hill
‘I always felt a little out of control on steep runs. My lessons with Martin gave me the control I wanted and improved my enjoyment, as well as my skiing, enormously.’

End Of Winter Treat
Hi everybody, and welcome back to a bonus blog post from the end of last winter. I've been back in the UK for just over three weeks now, so Méribel and her mountains seem like a long time ago already. Regular readers will probably recognise the pattern that I have most winters now, and not wanting to disappoint, I was up to my usual trick of treating myself before heading home.
