Mark spent his teens skiing and teaching on a dry ski slope in Essex. He moved on pretty quickly and in 1996 he decided that Chamonix, in the French alps would be his new home. After long, intensive training he became the first British qualified ski instructor to work for a French ski school in Chamonix.
He is now one of the few holders of the highly regarded French equivalence and is one of the UK’s most elite ski teachers (BASI 4 ISTD). Mark founded All Mountain Performance in 2004 to offer skiers a fresh approach to modern ski teaching. Specialising in off piste performance courses, he has opened the world of all mountain skiing to thousands.
As well as coaching the recreational public, he has also been involved in training professional ski instructors, competitors and high mountain guides. His fun and innovative ski teaching focus's on the individual client's needs and has earned him a renowned reputation for acheiving excellent results.
