Beginner lessons include introductions to equipment and basic terminology as well as a correct stance and how to balence. We'll also cover how to enter and exit from the lifts, control your speed, make direction changes, turns, and link turns together.

There are many ways you can develop your riding as an intermediate. Lessons may include an emphasis on freestyle (basic introduction to tricks) or freeriding (improving technique). At the beginning of any lesson you can request help with a particular problem you may have, or maybe ask about how to do a certain trick.

Advanced riding skills may include fine tuning a trick to look stylish, or just working on technique so you can ride harder and longer. I tailor each lesson to the individual and may use several different methods to help you acheive your goal. I frequently use a digital video camera on hill to help you get a good visual idea of the movements you are making. Video is the ideal way to get instant feedback on your riding. With private lessons you get a free video to take home.
