recommended instructors

Post by doofus »

Hi Folks

Do you have any recommendations for an instructor to help me improve from low level expert.

Two areas that I am looking to improve that I know are very different

Trees/Bumps- want to be more confident in smaller spaces and controlling speed

Carving turns on steeper slopes

I am 56 and looking for controlled skiing at increasing pace

If you're looking for a private lesson at Killington I'd recommend Rick Svencer, Keith Hopkins, Rich Weiss, Brad Poppleton, Eric Stamp, or Chris Carter.

I have been in clinics with Keith and Rich. I recommend them both.
I'm still working on drills that they presented.

Next season sign up for the Skillfuls program at KSC. It is very reasonably priced and the instruction is
available at all skill levels, all are PSIA instructors.

Highly recommended.

Hey! Don't be trying to steal Dickie Simmons' schtick! That's just mean, Mr. Man.

BTW, what's throbbing on you?

Kisses.
That's one big rope between my legs. Who wants to go for a swing?

You might want to consider the 4241 program which is a 10 session all day group lesson. Even lets you get thru the Saturday lines. You might even ask them to join a lesson in the current season.
