Instructor and Trainer Bio - Jonathan Lawson

Thank you for taking a look at my blog at MySnowPro.com. This page is for you, the skier. I believe a student should know something about the instructor they are taking a lesson from before they purchase lessons from a ski school.

I have been an Accredited Trainer with the Rocky Mountain Division of PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) since 1999, and a fully certified instructor (Level 3) since 1994. Certification levels in conjunction with years of experience offer a level of assurance to the student. You are invited to read through postings on my blog, as they are for you. Here are a few video lessons.

I have been working with the Vail Resorts since 1993. I have taught extensively at our four resorts. Currently I am based in Breckenridge, yet I teach full day private lessons in Beaver Creek, Vail, and Keystone in addition to 3hr and full day private lessons in Breckenridge.
