Bio
I originally learned to ski on the perilous artificial ski slopes of England, but yearned for the real stuff so ventured to the East Coast of the United States. After a number of years skiing there I ventured to New Mexico and taught for 7 years at the famous Ernie Blake Ski School in Taos, New Mexico. From there I headed north to town of Aspen, Colorado and have been teaching here for 10 plus years. My home base mountain is Aspen Mountain in the heart of downtown.
Skills
Trainer for ski pros in Aspen/Snowmass Ski School, USSA Level 100 Race Coach, PSIA Accredited Childrens Instructor, Ski Schools of Aspen Diamond Session Professional.
Gear
As a youth soccer player I represented my City in the First Team 11. In my teens I had trails for professional soccer clubs in my native England. I understand the requirements for sporting performance. I continue to explore my own skiing and teaching so it can be the best it can be. If you would like to improve your skiing, or just have a great day in the Alpine environment, I can help.
