点评:I wanted to share my experience from our most recent visit to Taos Ski Valley from February 9th–11th. I traveled with my husband, Matthew, and our son, Beckett, and this marked our fourth year visiting the mountains and our third year taking private lessons with Mr. Vinella.
Mr. Vinella has provided instruction for both me and my six-year-old son at the same time, and he has done a truly remarkable job. He is honestly the sole reason we continue coming back to Taos to ski. While we know there are other mountains that may be considered more “beginner” or “kid-friendly” and may offer more child-centered activities, we also know we would not receive the same level of instruction and personal investment that we experience with Mr. Vinella.
I cannot sing his praises enough for what he has done for my confidence as a beginner skier. As someone who was initially fearful of chair lifts, heights, and skiing down steep terrain, I have now completely fallen in love with the sport and the thrill that comes with it. His patience, encouragement, and ability to build skills progressively have transformed what once felt intimidating into something I genuinely look forward to each year.
Beyond my own growth, he has been incredible with Beckett. Teaching a young child and an adult simultaneously is no small task, yet he makes it seamless, engaging, and fun for both of us. Beckett looks forward to his lessons every year, and it is clear that Mr. Vinella takes great pride in helping his students succeed at every level.
We are so grateful for the positive experiences we have had, and we truly hope to continue this tradition for years to come. Please know what a valuable asset Mr. Vinella is to your team and how deeply his dedication impacts families like ours.
Thank you,
Smith Family
翻译:我想分享一下我们最近一次(2月9日至11日)去陶斯滑雪谷的经历。我和丈夫马修以及儿子贝克特一起去的,这是我们第四年来这里滑雪,也是我们第三年跟维内拉先生上私人课程。
维内拉先生同时指导我和我六岁的儿子,他做得非常出色。说实话,他是我们不断回到陶斯滑雪的唯一原因。虽然我们知道其他一些滑雪场可能更适合初学者或儿童,也可能提供更多以儿童为中心的活动,但我们也知道,在那里我们无法获得像维内拉先生这样高水平的指导和悉心的关怀。
他极大地增强了我作为一名初学者的滑雪信心,我对此感激不尽。我最初害怕缆车、恐高,也害怕滑下陡峭的雪坡,但现在我已经完全爱上了这项运动以及它带来的刺激。他的耐心、鼓励和循序渐进的教学方法,将曾经令我望而生畏的课程,变成了我每年都无比期待的事情。
除了我个人的成长,他对贝克特的指导也令人赞叹。同时教导一个孩子和一个成年人绝非易事,但他却能让整个过程轻松愉快,充满乐趣。贝克特每年都盼望着上他的课,显然,维内拉先生以帮助学生在各个阶段取得成功为荣。
我们非常感激这些美好的经历,并真诚地希望这份传统能够延续下去。请您了解,维内拉先生是贵团队的宝贵财富,他的奉献精神对像我们这样的家庭产生了多么深远的影响。
谢谢!
