Thank you so much for working with Jonathan this season. He has made lots of improvements with his skiing and loves to ski!  So appreciative of all you and your team does. We are lucky to have found BRASS. 
Jonathan and Charlotte were so excited about their certificates and immediately showed them to grandparents when they got home. Jonathan has his hanging on his bedroom wall as asked me “Does this mean I’m a celebrity now??” Lol
See you next ski season!!
Thanks
Jen (Jonathan Yang’s Mom)
