I can't believe we're only a month away from Rocky

I can't believe we're only a month away from Rocky Mountain Snowsports Leadership Summit (Fall Training for Member School Management & Resort Trainers)!

From changes to the National Standards to the new processes we've developed within RM to accommodate the updates, we have so much to share this year. Did you know Alpine and Snowboard Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 exams have updated processes and coordinated on exam activities to better align across divisions and across disciplines?

If you lead ski or snowboard training at your home mountain, this is an event you don't want to miss!

Registration link in bio or go to psia-rm.org!

As the leaves turn and the temps start dropping closer to that magical 32 degrees at night I find myself getting more and more excited for the season ahead.

This winter, in addition to teaching in Colorado and leading instructor training all over the country, I’ll be available for coaching right from your phone as an Expert on @teamgivego.

You can find out more, download the app, and sign up for coaching through my bio link. Upload some videos and receive coaching, from anywhere in the world!

Think snow, it’ll be here soon!

Brilliant yellow, orange, and red leaves at @vailm

Brilliant yellow, orange, and red leaves at @vailmtn for closing weekend. Capped off a great season of lift-accessed downhill with a final lap down Cougar Ridge to Minturn on Sunday.

Still a few weeks left to earn turns on the bike, but the ratio of leaves on the ground to those left on the trees is signaling the approach of winter!

Happy birthday to this skiing, snowboarding, mount

Happy birthday to this skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, wake surfing, adventure loving, all-around badass babe, @chloeroseelliott

Hard to believe how many adventures and how much life we’ve experienced together this summer. Whether it’s beers at VBC or bloodies at A-Basin, snowboarding at Breck or skiing at A-Bay, mountain biking at Vail, Park City, Aspen, or at home in Avon and Eagle, concerts at Red Rocks or the Ford Ampitheater, or the many miles of highways and trails that provided the journey, it’s been non-stop adventure!

Looking forward to everything we have planned for this fall and winter! ❤️

“Still round the corner there may wait A new roa

“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”

Words from J.R.R. Tolkien

Out for a quick ride, stoked on the new Maxell Jel

Out for a quick ride, stoked on the new Maxell Jelleez True Wireless Earbuds! Impressed by how good the sound quality is and how well they fit. Snug enough to stay put even while mountain biking!

During the first two days of @thesnowpros Rider R

During the first two days of @thesnowpros Rider Rally, my group focused on building skills and movements to help with quicker steering and better absorption in variable terrain.
.
On day three we got to apply everything we had been working on in a foot of fresh snow!
.
Marshall and I have chatted online for years, but Rider Rally was the first time we’d had the opportunity to ride and clinic together. He brought an awesome level of energy to the group, and it was so fun seeing him progress through the week. We shot this clip on the last day while exploring the fresh snow

Hard to believe it’s already been a month since

Hard to believe it’s already been a month since the 2021 PSIA-AASI Team Selections! It’s been a crazy month, and I’m way behind on sharing photos and adventures!
.
This was captured on a sneaky pow day at @breckenridgemtn during National Academy and Rider Rally that just happened to be our last day serving on the 2016-2021 Team.
.
Leading groups during events was pretty different this year, but the stoke of a group of snowboarders on a pow day is always the same. My group was hooting and hollering as they rode down towards Linda, spraying snow and jumping off rollers.
.
We spend a lot of clinic time moving slowly, focusing on fundamentals, and working through drills. Every now and then we get to open it up a bit and apply all of those little tidbits. The result is visible joy in a simple ollie off a roller on a pow day!

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.

Another day and more progression!

Hydrofoil Wakesurfing

YouTube Video UCnu2feWJ-5_C_u7iMEUdmlQ_Uqeb1fdMDzo

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.
