The Bunny Hill

I've started this blog for several reasons. First, I love to ski and hope to inspire others to do the same. I have skied since I could walk, and was able to turn my hobby into a real job -- I get paid to ski. More specifically, I get paid to teach other people to ski. I want the sport to be fun, approachable and challenging.

Second, I want a place to debunk common misconceptions about skiing, ski resorts, ski instructors, and whatever else might need debunking on any given day (I will try to stick to my area of expertise, but you just never know what might come up).

Last, there are a lot of funny things that happen out on the mountain. Names are changed, of course, so that no one suffers undue embarrassment or gets in trouble.

Why call it "skiing like a girl?" Women have a unique approach to sports. I hope that a lot of what I talk about is universal, though.

Things you won't find here:

* an in-depth discussion of what I had for lunch, my mood or what color shoes I'm wearing

* blatant shilling for any product or service. The gear I talk about here is what I use, have used, or want to use. I do get pro discounts on gear, but I don't get anything free nor do I promote anything here for my own gain.

* A ski lesson. I don't know you, I haven't seen you ski, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. There are basic techniques and skills that are universal, but their application is as individual as you are.

Thanks for reading. Pray for snow.
