As December arrives, so does the stoke! Are you asking yourself, is it finally my year to learn how to ski or snowboard?   Learning to glide can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve never been to a ski hill. As a snowboard and ski coach, I’ve been guiding people into this world for years. Undoubtedly, bringing my one-year-old to Nakiska has been an eye-opener.

Have you ever wanted to head to the mountains for a day of fun in the winter with non-skiers, but unsure of what to do?

It’s amazing – and it’s exhausting. We are constantly trying to balance family time with work, extracurricular activities (not to mention the FUNDRAISING they encompass), and commitment to friends, family and ..read more
