Skiing Experience
（日本語の解説なき、申し訳ないです！）The family baby carriage had skis, not wheels. On planks since age 2.5. Parents instructed. Skied the Haute route from France to Switzerland pre-college. Craig Kelly (boarder) strong influence in my neighborhood as a child. My first Burton (1983?) was wooden with aluminium fins. Went riding with Jake Burton once at the US Open. Ned Randall (tele-world champion and Mt. Ranier Guide) taught me how to stand tall and hit mach speed on 3-pins (old style tele-gear) without cratering. Years of resort life experience in NZ, WA, Utah and Alaska, Nagano and Niigata.

Other Info
Hucking and adrenaline is all-good, but challenging yet safe, do-able path to the bottom for students or clients is what your wife / family / girlfriends wants for you. Outdoor pursuits / outdoor teaching / mountain life has proven an extremely good medium from which were born a wide range of intercultural experiences.
