Learn from the best of our educators and team members from around the country as you explore your potential for higher achievement through communication, connection, and gear-related coaching. We will focus on the ski/board-snow connection, and how best to access performance whether through proper choice and fit of gear or simply learning to use the tools for your best outcomes.
