Alpenglühen: March 2011
http://alpengluhen.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Stories from the front line of the snowsport industry. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. The End of a Class. This year at Corpy provided me with my first chance to take part in a multi-week school program. Meaning one of the local grade/high schools would bring up a bus load of students on the weekends for instruction time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A PSIA (and formerly AASI) certified instructor, I spend my days outside on a mountain teaching all the joys of skiing. I prefer being a two-plank rider.

http://alpengluhen.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Stories from the front line of the snowsport industry. Monday, November 1, 2010. Former ski instructor faces off against Vail Resorts over invention. Read the full article here. Short version, Breckenridge ski instructor Jon Lawson created a device. Thanks to Justin over at ski-blog.com. For bringing this to my attention. Yep it's old, but it's a rather important piece.

Alpenglühen: March 2010
http://alpengluhen.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Stories from the front line of the snowsport industry. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. I'll never be an Olympic quality bumps skier. Speed hurts on smaller bumps. Speed hurts even more on bigger bumps. Air carving (the act of launching off of one mogul top and landing on another's downside) isn't all it's cracked up to be if you mis-judge the distance.

Alpenglühen: Students Have Bad Days Too
http://alpengluhen.blogspot.com/2012/02/students-have-bad-days-too.html
Stories from the front line of the snowsport industry. Monday, February 27, 2012. Students Have Bad Days Too. Knowing these students weren't ready for skiing without their primary sense (sight), I made a decision to take a little more advanced trail. The theory was this trail would be wind protected by the trees surrounding it, and usually has some good snow pack on it. In general it's a favorite run of mine most days. This just set the tone for the rest of the class for me. EDIT: fixed the formatting].

Alpenglühen: Approaching the 2012-2013 season
http://alpengluhen.blogspot.com/2012/10/approaching-2012-2013-season.html
Stories from the front line of the snowsport industry. Wednesday, October 10, 2012. Approaching the 2012-2013 season. It seems yet another summer has come and gone. We're fast approaching the 2012-2013 season and I'm busy getting back in shape for the season. This season will see me replacing many of my base layers, socks, and external shell as none of these seemed to survive the spring/summer. It's bound to happen eventually after the wear and tear many of these pieces are subjected to.
