20-year skiers, first-time snowboarders
Keystone Ski & Ride School的点评
点评:My husband and I were looking to make the mountain new again and booked a beginner's snowboarding lesson (half-day, group). We were the only ones who showed up so it was practically a private lesson.
Kirk Celko was our instructor. He was engaged yet laid-back, and he had insightful tips for every stage, from just being able to stand up to carving down the hill. He provided timely and constructive feedback when we made errors/struggled and cheered on every little improvement we made, so I feel like he would've been really good with kids, too. He was unerringly friendly and respectful.
Under his tutelage, we progressed from barely being able to stand up to riding all the way down Schoolmarm (a green run that goes from the top to the bottom of the mountain) that very afternoon, and by the 21st we carved down a couple of blue runs. Paying for a lesson was definitely worth it!
One thing I'd wish I'd done was buy padded shorts and knee pads prior to learning. I took some pretty hard blows to my tailbone, and it made it hard (mentally and physically) to get back up and try again. I think it would've helped my confidence early on when just balancing was a challenge.
翻译:我和我的丈夫希望让这座山重新焕然一新,并预订了初学者滑雪板课程(半天,团体)。我们是唯一出现的人,所以这实际上是一堂私人课程。
柯克·塞尔科是我们的教练。他既忙碌又悠闲,对每个阶段都有深刻的见解,从刚刚站起来到下山。当我们犯错误/挣扎时,他提供了及时和建设性的反馈,并为我们取得的每一个小进步欢呼,所以我觉得他也会对孩子们很好。他非常友好和尊重。
在他的指导下,我们从几乎无法站立,到那天下午一路骑行到Schoolmarm(一条从山顶到山脚的绿色跑道),到了21日,我们已经冲下了几处山坡。蓝色运行。花钱上一堂课绝对是值得的!
我希望做的一件事是在学习之前购买带衬垫的短裤和护膝。我的尾骨受到了一些相当重的打击,这让我很难(精神上和身体上)站起来再试一次。我认为,当平衡只是一个挑战时,这会在早期增强我的信心。
