Diann Roffe

Recently I had the opportunity to meet, spend time with and be coached by Olympic gold medalist, Diann Roffe. The 2 day race camp was a great experience for me as a skier and has met some personal goals of mine. Where before I have been tentative in the gates in downhill and never before been in the slalom gates -- this put the pieces together and helped me understand lines and tactics in a course. It is a great as a parent of a ski racer, coach of development program skiers considering racing and my own personal skiing -- can't wait to get in the gates again!

Here is the link to Diann's new site - she is an incredible athlete and person. I recommend her as a speaker and coach!

Here is a link to her 1994 Olympic GOLD medal run!

The Zen of Skiing

Ski Vermont Mag features Terry!

On our list trip to visit our best friends, the Barbours, we got to talk to Terry about the interview with Ski Vermont and see the article at their home. What a great interview! Terry is Steve's best friend and they have been working together in PSIA for many years and have worked together analyzing skiing techniques.
