“I love sharing what I am passionate about and with skiing that means helping others make their skiing more efficient and therefore more enjoyable. Each technique aspect learned is an exciting step that makes cross-country skiing a fun, rewarding experience which to me, once proper technique is acquired, is a dance. Join me in learning to dance!”
