Administrators Popular Post Horton Posted May 1, 2023 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2023 As you may have read here this spring, I was planning a trip to Orlando with my 8-year-old daughter Reagan aka Buford Danger. The goal was to create some motivation by exposing Reagan to some elite skiers and getting her some pro coaching. Leading up to the trip, I faced the possibility that flying to Florida and skiing at a ski school may not have the desired effect. Would this be a boondoggle? I chose Matt Rini’s Ski School because he is always telling me to come to ski with him and he has a reputation for working with kids. So what happened? After 3 days at Matt’s, Reagan is totally fired up to ski. Yes, the coaching is world class but the value for me is that Matt and Cole Grant challenged Reagan in a way that made her want to ski more. It was a success beyond what I could have hoped for. Her season is off to a running start. The whole crew at Rini’s was wonderful to us. Reagan and I got to ride in the boat when Paige Rini trick. That blew Reagan’s little mind. Joel Poland was around a little and was also kind to Reagan. Paige and Joel Poland are now Reagan’s favorite pro skiers ( sorry Fred you are now 4th behind Erika). I want to thank Matt and Cole for their time and highly recommend to other parents a trip to ski at the Matt Rini Ski School.

Baller Nautique99 Posted May 2, 2023 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2023 @Horton What a great post. As a parent, I always think about how to get my kids excited about skiing, how to pay this forward to the next generation. Truth is, any of us only ski because someone else made the effort to get us excited about it. We need to do the same for these kids! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
