Meet John 👋 EDIT: John is the one with the blue jacket! — physical therapist, adaptive snowboard instructor, Membership Director at The Unrecables, and a strong advocate for inclusive snowsports.

His teaching philosophy is simple and effective:
Safety first.
Fun always!
And creating a welcoming space for every rider — especially first-timers and adaptive athletes.

John volunteers his weekends at Mammoth Mountain to help make snow sports accessible to people with disabilities through The Unrecables.

The Olympics are coming. Watch the movement. Not j The Olympics are coming. Watch the movement. Not just the medals.

Pressure. Timing. Line choice. Flow at full speed.

In 32 Degrees, PSIA-AASI National Team members break down how they watch Olympic skiing & riding — and how that movement analysis shows up directly in better teaching on snow.

Watch it.
Break it down.
Bring it back to your students.

Edging clinic with Tim Reeve @reeve4996 😎at📍 @nort Edging clinic with Tim Reeve @reeve4996 😎at📍 @northstar_california : high edge angles, low edge angles, fast changes, all the fun.
More angle = more grip. Less angle = more flow. Learning to play between the two? Game-changer.

Strong turns, good vibes, great crew. Let’s do it again! 🤙

The storm reset is real! And so is the responsibil The storm reset is real! And so is the responsibility that comes with it.

After a late-December storm, resorts are reopening and expanding terrain. This is the moment instructors live for: fresh snow, real winter, and a true reset (or should we say, "a start") to the season. It’s also the moment to lead!

Friendly reminder of what to expect:
• Variable snow and rapidly changing conditions
• Limited terrain in some zones, deep snow in others
• Wind effects, visibility challenges, and evolving hazards

As snow pros, this is where our training shows:
✔️ Smart terrain choices
✔️ Clear communication with guests
✔️ Teaching that adapts to the day — not the calendar

Stoke is high. Judgment matters more than ever.
