ABOUT COACH DAVE

Hi I'm Coach Dave & I'm looking forward to training a fresh group of snowboarders in 2025.  I specialize in adult learners, am fully certified & author of the "8 Skills of Snowboarding" program.  I've been the director of BreakPoint Snowboarding since 2021.  

My experience includes: varsity OUAA coaching, competitive freestyle & big mountain conditioning.  Over the years, however, my greatest joy has been to train adults brand new to the sport of snowboarding.  This is now where I focus the majority of my energy.

My success rate in student achievement on completing skill 8: s-turning (aka. carving) is over 95% after 1 full day of training.  Learning snowboarding is expensive & while I love hearing/ seeing BreakPoint members all winter; I want you to walk away from 1 day with me with the ability to s-turn and be able to use the chairlift on your own.  

My greatest strength (according to me) is my ability to increase student confidence.  My greatest strength (according to my students) is my patience...tho I truly feel like every little baby step is "action-packed" whether it takes once or a hundred trials - I love it all!
