PHILOSOPHY
Terry’s Vision
Is there a philosophy of skiing? It would seem kind of counterintuitive right? We strap on skis, we ride the lift and we go down the hill. Simple, right?
It may surprise you that most ski instructors go about their day with a preordained purpose. I started skiing in Eastern Quebec waaay back in the 1960s. Living in Ottawa we spent our winters on snow. I found it exhilerating and challenging. No philosophy when you’re 9 or 10 years old. Then in 1999 I made a decision to move to Invermere and reinvent myself. From writer/editor to ski instructor. You either need to be crazy or have a pretty precise plan. I was crazy and I had no plan. But I developed one pretty quickly.

SCHUSS
Ski Tips & Tricks
At Dagmar we take a foundational approach to ski technique, building from the bottom up . . . because strong skiing starts at the toes and stops at your head! Stop thinking! Have Fun!

Learn To Ski
If you’ve never skied before or you’re coming back to the sport after 30 years on the shelf? Come to Dagmar! All of our instructors are CSIA (Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance) members and many of us attend yearly upgrades under the guidance and care of Level IV CSIA Course Conductors.
IMPROVEMENT
Ski Improvement sounds like an esoteric concept and most people really don’t give it much thought, until they end up out west in the Rockies on a piste with no access to the “Easy Way Down” cat track.
Now what? Take a lesson and we’ll give you some tricks, tips and coping strategies. Preparation is all.


Improved Edging
Edging your skis is an advanced technique that the Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance (CSIA) demands of all its advanced instructors.
When we think edging we think speed. That sure helps. Terry can have intermediate skiers on edge (pun intended) in five easy lessons!
