MESSAGE

Learning to ski was very challenging for me, but skiing quickly became a passion I very much enjoy sharing. Teaching skiing has proven to be the most rewarding experience of my life. My greatest joy is watching my students increase their comfort level, have fun and improve while they experience new sensations and explore new terrain. Heavenly has been very good to me. My first season here, I was featured in Ski Magazine's Top 100 instructors and in the 2006/2007 season and 2007/2008 seasons, I was Heavenly's most requested instructor.
