Tool(s) of the Trade: Alpine skis

Experience: Nine years teaching skiing. Level 2 certification. SLC Instructor of the Year 2009 and Summit Central Ski Instructor of the Year 2007. Ski patroller while working in South Korea. Skiing for more than 40 years.

Background: I like to ski, but every bit as much I enjoy the opportunity to work with skiers that range from first timers to advanced skiers looking for a bit of a tune up. Some of the brightest moments were re-introducing skiing to people that had stopped due to injury and replacing their concerns with a return of their joy of skiing. Oh, and I like to ski. The teaching facilities and terrain at The Summit makes for great learning conditions. Seeing the smiles from my students as they make progress and ski slopes they never imagined being on confirms my decision to retire from my old (professional) work so that I could ski more. Did I mention that I really like to ski?
