How Customers Rate BUMPS FOR BOOMERS Mogul Ski Instruction

We ask each of our mogul and powder skiing program participants to answer a "blind" survey and tell us how they felt about their participation in the Aspen, Colorado BUMPS FOR BOOMERS ® ski lesson program.

When asked: "Describe how you felt about your participation in the BUMPS FOR BOOMERS program. Any comments about the program design, coaching quality, knowledge you gained, new skills you learned and/or the degree to which we achieved your personal goals would be appreciated." ... here is what they told us - unedited and in the raw:

Well thought out progressive program. Short skis good idea. Learned what I hoped I would although not as proficient as I would have liked to have become. Better understanding of total skiing mechanics.

I was thrilled with my instructor, Alan, and my progress in the program. I appreciated his coaching style of first providing the context, then demonstrating how and then letting us try it on our own.

The approaches of the staff complemented each other - what I found with one coach my wife found with another. My goals were reached, you should have seen my smile following Alan down through the deep snow one day and the big bumps on Niagara to finish off the course. Thanks to Jo and Sam, Alison is happier and more confident on turning down the steeper slopes now.

Excellent, experienced lessons. During the lesson done, I felt there was a lot of repitition which I didn't like at the time and after I was thankful for.

We're always pleased and impressed with Joe's coaching skills...couldn't be more pleased!

Excellent, larry readilly spotted our weak points and helped us become much better skiers. His knowledge snowmass was invaluable also.

The ski boards are a great idea. All your coaches are terrific teachers and nice human beings to boot. I would consider taking the course again in the future to further my bump and powder skills.

Worked with both Larry and Alan, found Alan's teaching technic and style preferable.

The personal attention is essential and truly made the program unique. Please do not let this change in the future.

Unfortunately my clinic was shrotened to only one and a hlf days because of airline issues; nevertheless, Joe taught me a lot in a short time -- especially how to yell both "yikes" and "go".

learned new skill,good coaching quality,have to work harder and further to achieve my personl goals but it was a good stsrt.

Joe makes it so simple. He is extremely patient... the best coaching I've ever received by FAR!

Learned a lot that I hould have learned 30 years ago. A very good program; Walter is super good.

A bit too much explanations, when the time could have been spent on the snow doing

It was back to the basics for me; lots of bad habits from years of learning on my own and trying to replicate my 3 boys. Just do it like this Dad. ( One is now a ski patroller, Oh Well! ) This was our second time through the program and it was a charmer. A two day private lesson and we skiied the bumps continually over the next five days. Believe this or not I couldn't keep my wife off the bump runs. If you do this clinic, the most expensive part might just be the place you buy in Aspen/Snowmass. Joe is patient and speaks in language you can understand. After years of trying to figure out what they were saying in the ski magazines he was a welcome breath of fresh Colorado air. Take the Bumps for Boomers private clinic with your wife; you will revoutionize your skiing days ahead...together.

i thought the coaching staff was terrific and the technique equally so. in spite of that, i did not achieve my objectives for the program.

i expected a higher level of skiing from the participants. the suggestions were great,but i'm not sure i improved my ability to ski moguls. a private lesson would have served me better.

I learned to relax and tackle one bump at at time instead of looking at the entire slope and getting overwhelmed. I was then able to begin looking ahead at 2 or 3 bumps, while staying focused, relaxed and in control. Amazing!!

An outstanding program. It should also be marketed as a beginner skiing class. The improvement is unbelievable. The class helps to eliminate bad habits in general. Joe is an excellent teacher.

We did a private lesson with Joe, I learned more in one day than I have in the previous 20 years. It was a great experience. Love the short skis!

I liked skiing on the short skis but in the next few days when I tried out what I had learned, I found it difficult to transfer the skills to more difficult terrain.

Very happy. Just one small note: If you are open to people choosing which instructor they want to ski with it would be helpful to say so.
