STOKED TO SEE YOU HERE
Skiing is about having fun, pushing your limits, and being part of a community of like-minded people.
HI, I'M BRUCE
I grew up in a small Hockey town in Canada, falling in love with skiing a little late I didn't start my park skiing journey until I was 17.
MY STORY
As I mentioned, I didn't start my park skiing journey until I was 17, a little behind the ball compared to most kids who grew up in Ski Academy's and had their parents paying $40,000 - $60,000 a year for them to be trained. This wasn't feasible for me, but I still had a dream to become a professional skier, no matter what it took.
I then joined a local Ski Club and thought progress would be inevitable, only to find out the tricks I had taught myself were formed with bad habits to actually make it in the competitions...
After spending hours relearning tricks and fixing bad habits, I finally began down a path where I could make a name for myself and began winning competitions left and right.
Fast-forward a few years, and I was honored to be accepted as part of Team Canada skiing at an Olympic level. My social media following grew to over 100,000!
WHY DO I TEACH?
I started posting tutorials online after I learned that I had learned so many tricks with bad habits, and I wanted to help others learn the right way from the beginning. This quickly led to me spending countless hours answering DM's and replying to videos to help kids stomp their dream tricks the correct way.
I knew there were others out there like me who couldn't afford paying for a traditional ski academy, but needed some direction on how to take their career skiing.
So I created Slope Academy to help the ones that were serious about their skiing and needed direction on skiing, landing sponsors, and growing a social media following to make their dreams come true.
I knew it was time for an affordable system to help progress the sport.
MY VALUES
I believe in finishing what you start, and going all in if it's something you want.
I've coached hundreds of kids in person and online and love seeing the success they achieve.
Progressing this sport we all love means being a role model for the future generation of athletes and teaching them a sustainable way to make a career in the sport, have longevity, and avoid injuries.
Bro these mobility exercises do magiccc, never felt better skiing never felt better skiing.

Yo yo! just letting you know I found those videos you put on Slope Academy super helpful. The little details you addressed made it "click" for me, particularly getting the hips up on cork 720s in the progression - it came around perfectly after months of working on it.
