Slalom Clinic - Trent Finlayson

I’m happy to announce that pro water skier Trent Finlayson will be coming to visit and stay with me the weekend of April 26th & 27th. Trent will be giving me some lessons as well as a couple other ski buddies from the area.

Trent is a world renowned skier and currently ranks #6 in the world, ski’s for team HO, and is regarded as a top notch coach among the ski industry. I have taken lessons with Trent on a couple occasions and can speak personally to his character and professionalism. He is a great guy!!!!!

Trent would love to give any of you some coaching during his time at my house and community.

Fees to ski with Trent on this weekend are as follows:

$70.00 set for adults
$60.00 set for kids (high school & college kids included)

If you’d like to ski and learn from one of the world’s best please contact me and let me get you set up with a time.

This is an amazing opportunity for everyone to take advantage of.

Please contact me to set up times and enjoy a great day with a great pro!

Let me add to this as well because I forgot to yesterday but I will also take pictures for any one who is taking part in this weekend of great coaching for you for free because contrary to what others might say or think about me.............. I'm a cool dude! LMAO :)

Hope you skiers out there jump at this opportunity - you won't be disappointed!

I'd love to come down and partake. Sadly, not gonna happen,still dealing with snow piles and lots of house duties before i get to think about yard duties etc. Take lots of pics and post them up for us all to enjoy please. Maybe next time....

I feel your pain Mikey and can honestly say ............... I'm not missing that pain! LOL

What's up with the rest of the skiers on here? Great fun, great coach, great opportunity to improve!!!!! :)

Thanks for providing the opp. My coaching plans for summer are already full and still not in shape yet.

Sounds like fun. Too bad you are 1000+miles away. We had Lucky Lowe up for a couple of clinics and coaching. Great times. Just thawed here in Northern Illinois. Putting in my new lift this weekend for my new acquisition last fall.

Awesome! Thanks for posting this. Great to see Trent sharing his vast knowledge. I like what you're doing as well. I'm trying to get more skiers united on our lakes here in NC.

I think the three biggest segments that need attention and focus ( from intereviews ) are: 1) driving clinics and some women only driving clinics 2) public access to a ski course on open water and fed/state operated lakes 3) driving youth at the ages of 4 and up into skiing and tow sports.

In my opinion, these are key to the growth of our sport.

There can be many arguments as to why and I agree with some of what you're saying. The sport also competes with other things behind the boats now as well as the boats themselves.
There is driving clinics out there and to be honest they really aren't necessary in my mind! What's necessary is for all the alpha males to teach their wives, girlfriends how to drive. Patience and constant coaching works. Trust me I know as my wife drives for me and she never drove a boat at all until she was in her mid 30's. Yes she p*ssed me off but she didn't know and had to learn.
Yes our kids need to learn to have fun on the water agreed. They will all choose what game they want to play behind the boat.
Courses in open water - that debate will rage on forever I think?
