Tool(s) of the Trade: Alpine skis & Snowboard

Experience: 8 years instructing at The Summit, Level 2 Alpine, Level 1 Snowboard certification, Member of the Summit Wrecking Crew. I love to play in the snow and enjoy getting kids fired up about skiing but I will teach anyone who is interested in learning to slide on snow. Old in years…young at heart!

Background: I started skiing when I was 5 years old. I love being in the mountains, playing in the snow and teaching. There is nothing like working with a student and witnessing that moment when he/she suddenly “gets it”. The smile on their face and the excitement of learning something challenging are priceless. It is the 4 year old who gets to tell his parents about his first chair lift ride and the 40 year old learning to snowboard to keep up with her kids. It is the guest who has never seen snow before but finds themselves near the mountains and bound and determined to learn to ski. It is the mom and dad who want their child to love skiing as much as they do so they can ski as a family into the future. These moments keep it fresh and fun for me and keep me learning so that I can provide a fantastic experience for every guest I encounter no matter what their goals are.
