Wendy Fisher is a two-time World Extreme Skiing Champion. But skiing has been in her blood since long before competing on the U.S. Ski Team and in the 1992 Winter Olympics. She learned to ski almost before she could walk, and even went to Burke Mountain Academy, a ski-focused high school in Vermont. Skiing Magazine once named her among the 25 best skiers in North America, and she’s been in her fair share of ski films (including Warren Miller Entertainment). These days, she coaches private lessons at Vail Resorts, and she’s teaching her two boys how to rip like Mom.

Ann Schorling is a member of the PSIA Alpine Team, a group of the best ski instructors in the country who help teach ski instructors how to teach skiing (aka: the best of the best when it comes to ski instructors). She grew up in a family of ski instructors, spending much of her childhood at the Keystone Ski School while both her parents taught. She’s been a ski instructor since 2003 and has taught at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort since 2008, coaching Steeps Camps and training instructors. Ann has taught on three continents and in 10 different states, and sometimes spends her summer at Ski Portillo in Chile. Schorling lives in Victor, Idaho.
