Read what some previous students have to say:
"PowerLearn has allowed me to ski with my family any time, at any mountain, in any terrain." -Susan Saunders, PowerLearn 2008
This cost a lot of money, but I have friends who spend as much on Botox. I’m not trying to look prettier; I want to ski better. -Betsy Rich, PowerLearn 2006
Coming to PowerLearn was the best ski decision I ever made. Mermer and her team are awesome! -Phil Binkow, PowerLearn 2006
Mermer is wonderful, enough said. -Rene Gonzalez, PowerLearn 2007
The PowerLearn curriculum consists of four essentials:·
EQUIPMENT - Good skiing starts with the right equipment. We’ll make sure you have it, from well-tuned skis to a custom boot fitting. Skiing on appropriate equipment will assure a balanced stance.·
TECHNIQUE - a curriculum that focuses on mastering fundamental skills. We will take you through indoor movement sessions as well as on-snow drills, and then work to integrate the new skills into your skiing. Additionally, we’ll capture your skiing on video, and then play it back during indoor sessions for analysis.
PSYCHOLOGY - Every good skier knows that there’s a mental component to the sport. Whether you have trouble with bumps, steeps, hard-pack or speed, Mermer will guide you through exercises that challenge you to expand your comfort zone.
CUSTOMIZED LEARNING - a flexible approach to your style of learning. No matter what your particular learning needs are, we can meet them.
