  • If you have been skiing for a number of years and are frustrated that you have not improved your skills, Better Turn is designed specifically for you. This program is sold as a three-lesson session using our "special" skis. Better Turn is designed to help you learn the basic skills that have escaped you. Our skis will talk to you like nothing you have ever skied on. You will get instant feedback on your stance, how you edge the skis, where and how to properly pressure the skis and the forces you need to apply to develop good turning skills. This program will help you learn the skills necessary to advance your technique under all snow conditions.
  • Better Turn is a three-lesson session over two days, which will be taught by the same coach. Space is limited to six per session and reservations are required.  Walk-ins may be accommodated on a space available basis. 

    Important – In order to offer any session of Better Turn, a minimum of two people must sign up so encourage a friend to sign up with you.

    Testimonial

    Skiing"Thank you so much for the amazing ski lessons!  I am thrilled with the results!  The Better Turn Ski Program delivers, and I am so glad I invested the time to be a part of it.  I have been skiing for several years and I could not get to the next level.  I have been tentative, always trying to "slow down" to stay in control.  Your amazing program taught me the mechanics of the skis and how to use them.  You explained it so simply and offered plenty of practice time to master the instruction.  I have had many lessons over the years.  This single program brought me so much further in my skiing ability than all of them combined.  It truly is the cutting edge way of teaching - common sense instruction coupled with practical experience providing tangible, instant feedback.  The skis let you know what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong.  It is the easiest way to correct your mistakes. 

    When I signed up for Better Turn, I had my doubts that I could advance in such a short time.  I was also hesitant to invest the whole weekend in a program that I didn't know much about.  I am so happy I did it!  I am a better skier - confident on the mountain and no longer fearing the ice or the steep runs.  Thank you for sharing your program - it is by far the best money I have spent on any ski lesson."
