Testimonials

Here is what colleagues and students had to say about The Diamond Ski Weeks and Private Lesson Diamond Sessions

“Outstanding intuitive approach, covering all the key attributes necessary to help anyone improve skiing performance. I certainly will be using these concepts to improve my skiing and also my students.”


— Dr. Jim Farina PSIA certified Ski Instructor at Blue Mountain

Weems is about vision, patience, communication, guidance, respect, caring, courage and so many other characteristics we see in leaders. What’s more, he lives these things daily. When you come into contact with Weems, you always find yourself feeling “more than” rather than “less than”.

— Joel Munn, Vice President, PSIA-RM-ASSI

If you love to ski and enjoy improving your skills, this is a session that is not to be missed. The ski pros are, without a doubt, the best instructors I have ever had the privilege to ski with!

— Elaine R. Grossman, Director of Aspen Ride for the Cure

I had a grin on my face from beginning to end! I loved it. It's a great compliment to the book and really makes someone like myself want to experience the instruction from a Diamond Pro.

— Deena McNichol, passionate recreational skier

I like the Diamond concept and kept pausing the videos to review it. Immediately started playing with the ideas. Clear explanation and loved the examples from each corner. Could use this concept for teaching most anything!

— Kathleen Conway, President, Camden Communications Inc.

I taught skiing and was certified as an instructor for years. Weems is the real thing -- a master of the cold white stuff, in the dance with gravity, and in the art of skiing. Great job Weems!

— Steven Harper, wilderness guide, author, artist, facilitator, at Esalen Institute in Big Sur

I'm still getting my head around the Sports Diamond and I definitely appreciate the value of "changing it up", looking at the sport from different perspectives, and loving it all. Thanks to your book and video, when I hit that frustrated spot I was able to just say, OK, let's try something else for awhile... and was able to get back to the essential pleasure of flying.

— David Wilner, recreational skier

I definitely enjoyed & appreciated the insight and perspectives.  Time well spent, in this exposure to a refreshing attitude ... on skiing and life. Thank you for sharing your experience and reflection.  

— Ed Sherman, recreational skier

This is good, Weems. I hope you find someone to translate it into English now that I am gone.

— Ernie Blake, Taos Ski Valley

I wanted to let you know I am reading your book for the third time. I find it to be like an onion, with many layers.

— C H Johnson DVM, NREMT P Buttermilk Ski Patrol

I got goosebumps at how good it is. The theory itself is very strong in that it is simple and complete…. I think what I love most about this thing you’ve created is you have synthesized the teaching and technical stuff into one coherent whole, which is akin to making bronze into gold.

— Joan Rostad, 24-year veteran ski pro; writer for The Professional Skier, and Director of EpicSki Academy

Your delivery and content was of great help to me.  I will forever be passing your ideas on to my students and colleagues as we all share in the wonderful process of expanding our understanding of what makes the perfect turn.  And I’m so grateful to you for that.

— Wayne Fischer, PSIA Level 2 Instructor with 22 years of experience

Was there ever a more imaginative teacher of skiing? Learning to ski can't get better than this.

— John Fry, former editor-in-chief of Snow Country and of SKI Magazine
