Hey Liam...I never met that young lady but I believe this was the first time he had worked with her. Just blew me away how well she took to the technique. OH yeah..gotta love western soft round bumps...yeeha!

What your take from watching his video is what brought me to him in the first place. For an upper level intermediate to advanced skier that struggles off piste or in the bumps, his technique can be learned very rapidly and applicable day 1 on their home mountain....at least it was for me. I have worked with others sharing what John has taught me and still do...with very positive and immediate results.

John does work with high level bump skiers.....he's kicked my ass (medium level bump skier) in some of those classes. I've worked with 4 of his coaches all rock solid bumpers and all mountain skiers. Chino in Portillo is fantastic, but he's got a great crew in Aspen for sure. When I have the choice, I work with John....he's so freakn' silky smooth ripn' lines through bumps or just cruzn' through them. I've "play time" skied with him on a 6" powder day in Jackson...just the two of us all mountain skiing and what a blast.

John's skill set really opens the door for both young and old that have "bumpitis" or "allmountainfridgiti s". But skiing behind him when he's seeing 5 bumps ahead, zipper line....he's supurb and certainly, what I aspire to.

Thanks Liam,
G
