Lesson/Training opportunities in Salt Lake City

sunvalleylaw · March 8, 2017

I had been playing with the idea of a personal ski trip to Cal or somewhere to get some instruction this year, particularly on my new ski, to help improve my technique and use my ski, the boat, and the line better. But it occurred to me that I live within reasonable driving distance of Salt Lake City, (and of course, Boise, and the site of last year's nationals), and that I could probably set up a good training experience closer.

Can anyone suggest some options in/near SLC? Also, does anyone know of any clinics or lessons available or on the schedule?

Basically 15 off'r stuff. I need help with gates timing, improving stack and leverage, and not letting it all go to sh*t across the wake and out to the ball. Also, completing my turn better without getting on my back foot. Basically moving toward the new turn better, and maintaining that leveraged position rather than linked recoveries. As many here know, I got a nice new ski for Christmas, and now have a tourney boat, and I want to get some help modernizing my technique and making it more efficient. I am also open to Boise area, though a Salt Lake trip would be fun as I get to Boise quite a bit.

If you decide to come to California, I'll pull you and throw some coaching your way, be happy to do it.

@sunvalleylaw if your in Boise, hit up Terry Winter www.trainwithterrywinter.com. Not sure what he is doing for coaching up there, but skis at the Broadside Harbor. Other option if you are looking for warmer skiing Terry is doing a clinic at Liquid Zone just north of Sacramento in about a month. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. Got Terry's info from Idaho Watersports and am giving him a shout. Might still come down and bug you guys in SLC though. Not mutually exclusive. :smiley: I think it would be fun to combine with some mountain biking and some city time.

@scotchipman - I'll probably hit you up late spring/early summer. I know my technique is horrible, but want to get to running the course. recreational skiing up to this point.

@sunvalleylaw hit me up when it warms up a bit. There are plenty of people at our lake that wouldn't mind helping with instruction.

Does Nick Parsons do any coaching up there? He's from SLC, and a super nice guy. I had him at my site training before Moomba the last few days, helped me with my driving too. If I was going to SLC, I'd be looking him up for sure.

Is Terry still in Idaho? His coaching website shoes he's in California.

@Garn Terry lives in Idaho, he coaches up at liquid Zone in CA like 6 weeks out of the summer. @twhisper

I connected with Terry and am going to set something up in Idaho in a month, month and a half after I am done teaching/coaching on Baldy and have a little more weekend time for a short road trip. STILL not ruling out a trip down to Utah in addition, nor over to Gilbert Lake.
