John Mukavitz Lake Tahoe Ski Instructor Biography 2005

Ex-pro racer and ex-ski school director will take you to SCHOOL!John Mukavitz
After teaching skiing for 18 years, I wrote the book on the subject and I've posted it here just for you

100 page learn-to-ski book

First-time skier or expert, you can excell with my Four-Point Method! It's a short one page article with all the best ski pointers summarized for you. I surveyed the ski teachers at Heavenly Ski Resort in Tahoe, and they all agreed. These pointers are taught by the vast majority of professional ski teachers.

As a certified level 3 in PSIA-W and national level certified in USSCA, I've seen a thing or two in skiing, so I've put together the tips for you. All you have to do is read!

I've taught beginners how to ski in one afternoon, and I've taught 70 year old skiers how to race and win a National Masters Ski Racing Title!

My goal is to share my love for the sport. Join me for a day on the mountain.
