About
Every student’s success is important to me and I strive to
provide every opportunity to help each person I coach experience something new
on snow that enlightens and inspires them to ski with more confidence, skill,
and ease. Whether you are 7 or 70 I want to help ignite your own passion to
achieve your skiing desires and goals and show you the ways that work best for
you.
I’ve been passionate about teaching skiing ever since my
first lesson as a newly minted ski instructor at Hunter Mt. in 1985. I soon
found out that I had a natural gift for helping skiers of all levels find their
own inner skier. Having being mentored by some of the best ski teachers in the
world I am committed to passing on the gifts of joyful skiing that have been
given to me.
Concurrent with my
development as a ski instructor I became a student of personal performance as
it relates to peak sports performance and the nature of how mind and emotions
influence performance in all aspects of life. In 2004 I began offering
specialty peak performance workshops as part of Hunter’s adult clinic programs
that went beyond the usual ski lesson itinerary to include sensory awareness,
visualization, transpersonal experiences, and physiological states of being.
Working at these levels leads to spontaneous moments of being “in the zone”
where skier and skis become an integrated ‘one’ and skiing to the best of your ability
and beyond happens automatically. It also relates directly to core PSIA
concepts of balance and flow and appropriate blending of essential skiing
skills.
From the practical point of traditional ski coaching, I
strive to give my students a solid understanding of what works well for them
and how to refine their skiing so they will have more enjoyment more of the
time. Whether you are looking for more control on challenging trails or want to
learn how to rip with power and speed on any terrain I am there for you.
Whether you are timid and cautious or brave and willing I will help you get
better.
Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned shredder if you have a desire to
improve then I will help you do just that and love doing it with you.
I have 30+ years of training skiers of all abilities and
levels to reach new levels of personal performance.
Hope to see you on the slopes!
