Where do you feel you can help students the most? I think my experience and teaching style work best toward helping in taking complicated or frightening situations or slopes and breaking them into little pieces, helping to make each piece manageable and helping to instill confidence .
What do you feel was your best ski teaching experience (optional)? SCWDC trip to Snowshoe, March 2004 - had a class of 3 students and all three made significant changes over the 3 days of teaching. The combination of their energy, attitude and willingness to learn made this the best three days of teaching I've experienced. All were willing to attempt just about anything, and as a result, pushed themselves into a new level of skiing.
