Information about
Craig McNeil
In April of 2000 Craig McNeil was certified at the highest (black) level in Primary Movements Teaching System and is only one of 5 people in the United States to do so. Craig McNeil has embraced P.M.T.S. as the most effective ski teaching system in the world. It is also, in his opinion the only fully integrated ski teaching system in the world. His quest for constant personal improvement now takes him to the trainer level in P.M.T.S. and promotion of P.M.T.S. throughout the ski world. |
