We chose Ryan, as the most highly qualified skiing professional operating in the area and we were not disappointed. He greatly improved our children’s skiing and also helped me to get back on the piste with only one functioning leg - something my doctor has said would be almost impossible. When you book with Ski&Do, you know you will get Ryan in person, which is a massive bonus over using a larger ski school. His advice on technique was second to none, as well as on the small things that make all the difference, such as getting the right boot fit. Ryan was able to establish an immediate rapport with our children, who loved skiing with him, but also had the authority to command their attention ensuring their technique improved whilst they had fun. read less

Ryan really is an excellent instructor. He keeps it fun and is great with feedback, always getting the right mix of praise and constructive such that my son remains motivated to ski the whole session and beyond. This year we had booked lessons daily and then had a free day at the end to spend time away from the slopes, my son had enjoyed his time with Ryan so much he begged me for another day with him, if that's not an endorsement I'm not sure what is! (of course I gave in..... Fortunately Ryan was able to accommodate!) In addition to the excellent tuition one of the things I really like about Ryan's approach is he's relaxed about me skiing around with him and my son during lessons. He often gives me pointers also which are appreciated and highly effective. My own skiing has also improved a lot as a result. He's also happy if I want to disappear off for a few runs on my own. Skiing with Ryan has really made our holiday the last two years and I would highly recommend him as an instructor. As soon as we're able we'll be back across to see him for more fun! read less

For him it is all about feeling great on the slopes.
He helps you to improve your technique at every level with sometimes just some slight adjustments. The best thing is that he can very well explain what you need to do as he knows best by having been a professional skier. Can't wait till next year! read less

We were ranging in experience from ‘never ski’d’ to ‘haven’t ski’d for 10+ years’.

Ryan was very patient and gave very clear and easy to follow instructions. His experience as a professional skier and coach to professional ski racers sets him apart from other ski teachers and schools in Wengen.

Ryan takes a special interest in helping beginners overcome their fears and anxiety which was very helpful in our situation!

Regardless of your skiing ability, you could definitely benefit from a couple of hours with Ryan. He’s a great guy and excellent teacher.

All the best with your business, Ryan!

My children are good skiers and had done similar lessons before with other ski schools but these lessons with Ryan were, according to my daughter and the results we saw, far superior to the other lessons the kids have had. Ryan is a teacher, he showed them what to do and then they did exercises reinforcing the skills they had been taught. I highly recommend working with Ryan and feel there is much better value in a few private lessons as opposed to multiple days of group lessons. I look forward to finding time for Ryan to work with the whole family in the near future. More read less

I’m a reasonably solid skier but he spotted flaws in my technique within a few turns and fixed them within a few more! He was very good at articulating the technical issues and solutions and explaining how they should feel. By focusing on breathing he had me skiing in a more fluid relaxed way within the hour. Highly recommended. read less

He managed our different needs expertly and kept us smiling even though conditions were a bit challenging at times. I'm super excited to start overcoming my bad habits and to have skied a whole weekend without blowing out my thighs. Also really appreciated the advice on gear and all things. Absolutely worth the investment! read less

His tips are amazing and easy to understand. And it is also so much fun to ski and talk to Ryan because he is really experienced and open minded- not just when it comes to skiing . I can only recognize him to everyone- doesn’t matter if you are beginner or already a good skier. Just a great experience with him! read less

Ryan put us both at ease, improved our skiing and above all showed us an amazing time. Wengen is a lovely place and Ryan seems to know everyone in town.

We organized a ski trip to Wengen with my siblings, but my little sister and I had only skied twice in our lifes.
It was amazing how much we learnt with Ryan each day. We were really impressed with ourselves. We had him for two or three days, but on the first day you could already see a difference. He made us feel so secure and comfortable skiing. His huge patience, amiability and skills made it very easy.
He dedicated the needed time to explain well the technique and make sure that we understood it. And once he saw we controlled it, very prudently started pushing us more and more to improve our skiing level.
Besides that, he is such a nice and fun person. We spent the whole day with him, and it seemed he was one more of us.

Super recommended!!! We would love to repeat for sure when we are back in Wengen! read less

From first arriving his knowledge of the local area and where best to go to eat out and get supplies, was invaluable. Just as was his knowledge and expertise on the mountain!

It has been a while since I last challenged myself with some off piste skiing and Ryan helped me to regain and cement my confidence on the piste with some quick drills which were easily applied when in the powder. Also his know how or where to start for me to grow my skill level and confidence was brilliant. Constantly reinforcing what I was doing well and helping me to fine tune my skills so I got the most out of myself and the time on the slopes.

Ryan is such a personable and great teacher, he listens and advices so well after what I can only imagine has been years of experience. He breaks down the technical aspects into easy to understand nuggets of knowledge, which I could try to apply straight away.

His knowledge of the pistes, conditions and weather made me feel at ease when tackling trickier terrain and he read me well when it was a good time to pause for a refresh and refeed.

I can not recommend his services enough and looking forward to coming back for more fun and knowledge whilst on the slopes. read less

Decided to take some ski lessons to build my confidence back up. Could not have asked for a more patient, understanding instructor to achieve this. By the end of the week I was happy skiing down all runs in any conditions. Ryan has a vast knowledge of technical skiing and really helped deal with my fears. As a lady in my early 60's it was just what the doctor ordered. Fun, friendly, understanding, knowledgeable. Will definitely be back for more lessons this winter. read less

He knows the area like the back of his hand. He is a very accomplished skier with an engaging personality; has great stories about the area as well as helpful local tips (restaurants, ski shops, etc).

Ryan was an absolute delight to be around. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Wengen. read less
