Level 2 ride day exam at @monarchmountain last wee Level 2 ride day exam at @monarchmountain last week with a foot of fresh pow. That much new snow changes the exam and adds additional challenges of staying warm through the day. It also makes the riding between exam tasks a lot more fun! . Kudos to this group for staying positive and having fun shredding while working through ride day! . #snowpros #ridingisthereason @psiarmaasi @thesnowpros #wntr
For me, splitboarding has always been more about t For me, splitboarding has always been more about the downhill than the uphill. The uphill is usually the price to pay for some cool terrain to ride. . This season, splitboarding has become a way to chill out on my own away from crowds. Instead of trying to access better terrain, I’m enjoying the ascent as a way to exercise while social distancing and enjoying the Colorado wilderness. . A cold @coorslight has long been my beer of choice to carry along for a moment to chill after descending, so I’m stoked to be partnering with Coors Light and their new “Keeping CO Chill” special edition can this season. There’s lots of way to find your own enjoy chill experiences in Colorado, but you must be 21+ to do so with this special edition Coors Light can . #KeepingColoradoChill #coorslight #ad
One question I’ve been asked several times this One question I’ve been asked several times this year regarding the AASI Snowboard Fundamentals is why we included rotation as one of the ways we control twist. . I took this shot while leading training at Beaver Creek last week, and it really clearly shows how rotation of the femur within the hip socket towards the nose of the snowboard controls twist to get early edge initiation. . So, while flex/extension of our ankles and knees may be the primary way we control twist, rotation is certainly a movement option! . #snowboarding #snowpros #ridingisthereason

First ride on the new Slingshot Infinity 76 wing and loving it. Wakefoiling is the coolest feeling this side of a 2’ powder day. Still so much to learn, but it so fun to just cruise in the wake and work on small adjustments to height, angles, and turning!

Napoleon Dynamite famously said you have to have skills, "You know, like nunchuck skills, bo hunting skills, computer hacking skills." The Learning Connection Model is the framework of PSIA-AASI's fundamentals, describing instruction skills through the lenses of Technical Skills, Teaching Skills, People Skills. Because guests want instructors who have great skills. This webinar is an introduction to the framework, shares how the LCM was presented at the 2019 Interski, and provides an understanding of how the LCM connects our other models to what we do as instructors.

Hydrofoil Wakesurfing

This is a shot from my first long ride wakefoiling without a rope a few weeks ago. After a few short rides where it started to come together, on this go it just happened. Last year we weren’t sure if we would ever get this wakefoil thing figured out to a degree that we could surf without the rope. This summer proved that perseverance in learning (through bruised thighs, sliced shins, and smashed toes) pays off. The feeling of surfing a hydrofoil on a wake is unreal, as seen in my expression of incredulity. This is the closest feeling you can get to riding 2’ of pow.

Teaching a Penguin Slide requires leading by example. Catch your toe edge and dive in headfirst. Actually, that pretty much sums up clinicing in China.
