Certified Ski Instructors…
Many Members of the Slippers -n- Sliders are professional CERTIFIED Ski Instructors with the Professional Ski Instructors of America & American Association of Ski Instructors.
Each has earned great respect in the ski industry and has a great passion to demonstrate their skills on the mountain, while passing on their knowledge and earning your trust.
Having our own Certified Instructors is a major benefit to the members of our club. Ski Lessons can be very pricy and may not give you the personal attention you need to develop and hone your skills. Booking lessons with one of our own instructors can save you money and get you the time and attention you need to better your skillset.
For more information on working with a member instructor please let us know when you plan to attend one of our scheduled skip trips.

Mack Holland III
I am a Level 3 Certified Ski Instructor – My skiing career started at Keystone Resort in the spring of 1975.
In 1984 I received my Level II Certification at Copper Mountain Resort, and in 2002 I received my Level III Certification at Vail Resort.
I have been involved with PSIA for 35 years, completing over 40 years of teaching at Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Vail. I also served as Ski Ambassador for Keystone Ski Resorts during the NBS Summit. I am a current board member of the Ski Hall of Fame Committee.
Rosini Russell
I started teaching skiing in 1984 for the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) at Winter Park Resort (WP), as a volunteer ski instructor.
During this time period, snowboard and telemark skills were acquired and exams were taken for certification through Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) and American Association of Snowboard Instructors (AASI).
I was recruited by the Winter Park Ski and Ride School (WPSRS), and taught at both schools for years, before finally opting for WPSRS.
