About me
My name is Joe, and I am a Free Style ski Instructor. I am not fixed on just one style of
skiing, and use a variety of styles to demonstrate and teach.
With the assistance of my degree in Psychology and Philosophy, I have created a unique method of teaching where we trade in on the time draining ‘school like’ rigidness of form, for a more realistic approach.
Most the time I am able to get a non athletic type of person learning all the necessary basics (turning and stopping) within the first hour.
My talent is not only skiing but also being able to communicate the ability so that all can do what I do. The only thing I love more than skiing is the opportunity to help people. This is a win for everyone.
I love this sport with all my heart and its an opportunity to be able to reach people and give them my knowledge so they too can enjoy it as I do.
My Lesson
Its traditional to start a beginner skier using the inside edges of the ski (wedge, snowplow), I start with using the outside part of the ski. This is traditionally taught later as a more advanced type of parallel skiing.
When skiing on your outer edges, the experience is literally translated from the same mechanism you use to walk. You already did the work when you learned how to walk, and I just help translate and interpret how. The experience is less like learning and more like remembering you always knew how to do it.
