I originally learned to ski on the perilous artificial ski slopes of England, but yearned for the real stuff so ventured to the East Coast of the United States. After a number of years skiing there I ventured to New Mexico and taught for 7 years at the famous Ernie Blake Ski School in Taos, New Mexico. From there I headed north to town of Aspen, Colorado and have been teaching here for 10 plus years. My home base mountain is Aspen Mountain in the heart of downtown.
As a youth soccer player I represented my City in the First Team 11. In my teens I had trails for professional soccer clubs in my native England. I understand the requirements for sporting performance. I continue to explore my own skiing and teaching so it can be the best it can be. If you would like to improve your skiing, or just have a great day in the Alpine environment, I can help.
