James Kwon

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

Experience: B.S. Biology from the University of British Columbia.
While growing up in Canada, I completed my Canadian Ski Instructor Association (CSIA) Level 2 certification and at The Summit I’ve completed my Professional Ski Instructor Association (PSIA) level 1 and my American Association of Snowboard Instructors (AASI) level 1 certification. I’ve been very fortunate to be teaching at The Summit for 7 seasons.

Background: As a Canuck I am, naturally, a winter sport enthusiast! I grew up in the shadow of Grouse Mountain and if there was snow on the ground, I was on the hill! Years later, I get to re-live and share my passion at The Summit. The people and the mountain reflect my enthusiasm for teaching, exploration and snow sports. There is nothing more exciting than sharing my love of skiing and snowboarding with first time adventurers, little ones, and people looking to hone their skills. In the summer you can find me engaged with my second passion…golf!
