Utah "Instructor"

[Deadshred]

I will be in Snowbird at the end of Feb. Was wondering if anyone know's of a good ALPINE instructor at the Mtn? I would like to get better instruction on carving more efficiently. Will be there for 4/5 days. Thanks...

I was at Brighton last year, and I rode with the head trainer for their snowboard school. He was in soft boots at the time, but he actually approached me because of my setup. He said that he did a lot of training w/the US snowboard team. He also said that he raced a lot. I cannot verify his claims - although these credentials were also on his business card. His riding, and his knowledge of riding seemed pretty sound. He was also an AASI L3 which a lot of people don't put much stock in, but I do. Sorry, I don't remember his name. Hope this helps.

Hey guy's thanks for the info. With all the snow Utah is getting I was planning on bringing the powder board too.

[Skully]

I'm available, if you want to do something at The Canyons or Park City let me know...

[Deadshred]

Hey Skully, sorry for the slow responce, as I was in Florida for a week. This is my e-mail lyonsden50@worldnet.att.net maybe I can get over to Park City/ Canyons one day. My buddie and I are only spending a few day's in Utah. Let me know how I could get in touch with you. Marty

If Skully for some reason isn't available when you come, a friend of mine teaches at Park City. His name is Gregg McCormick, he's level 3 certified and has a great understanding of hardbooting, he is also pretty good at it as well.
Phil was the person you met at Brighton name Mike Reilly? I'm really sorry if it was because he isn't the head trainer for their ski school, nor is he a level 3, he has only done one race, and has never ridden with the U.S. Team. He tried to get a job teaching at P.C. and told them he is already on the Olympic team for 2006. We did some checking on his credentials they are made up, sorry if got caught by him.

[Phil]

That may have been him. Like I said, I don't remember his name. If it was - oh well. I was only with him for a couple runs. I never tried to verify his claims because it really didn't mean anything to me. I guess we all have our delusions of grandeur - some just have them a little worse than others. Thanks for clearing that up.

I just sent you a LONG email.....

[Deadshred]

Hey Philfell, Could you e-mail me a # or some way of getting in touch with your friend who teaches in Park City. I can give you my cell # if it would be more convenient for your friend. If we have the time I would like to get over to Park City from Snowbird. Thanks...Marty

Hello,

I saw Phil throwing Greg's name around above. He's a great teacher, does ride well and has contributed a lot to the pieces in my "alpine puzzle."

I'm sure he'd be glad to give some instruction if his schedule permits. I'll give you his # after I give him a ring and make sure he doesn't mind a home call.

I think it would be advantageous to get set up with him early or I'd just recommend asking for him at the school. He's very busy these days.

Anywho,

I'll be in touch with you via email.

So what exactly does "Injured reserve" mean Billy. Are you really injured?

I told Marty to get ahold of you, hopefully he sent you an e-mail.

[BobD]

Drop me an e-mail, I wanted to ask you about getting some alpine instruction at the Canyons for a relative in PC.
