Where do you feel you can help students the most? Helping my students avoid the pain of the first few days of learning to snowboard.

What do you feel was your best ski teaching experience? Riding the lift and watching one of my never-ever students from that morning link her first turns, then seeing (and hearing!) her express the thrill, excitement, and pure joy of doing it on her own..

Anything else you'd like to add? I discovered skiing at 30, and tried snowboarding at
32. I can't get enough of either, and have no intention of stopping. I have a lot to learn about skiing and riding, mostly about myself, and will continue to push my limits a little farther each season.
