Ski With Tony

“Want to Ski Better, Easier, and Enjoy it More?”

Tony Herman standing by skis on the snow

Hi, my name is Tony Herman and I’m a PSIA Level 2 Ski Instructor teaching at Cascade Mountain in Portage, WI (or anywhere). I’d love to ski with you and see if we can work together to improve your skiing.

I teach beginning and intermediate group and private lessons to adults. I’ll also teach private ski lessons for kids. If you’re in the Mid-West, are planning to ski out West, and want to get ready, I’m your guy. I’ve skied out there a lot, and I can take your skiing to the next level so that you actually enjoy the trip 🙂

I’d love to work with you if you need skiing lessons in Wisconsin and beyond – contact me for info on lessons.

Parents: Get Your Child Interested in Skiing

Get Them Turning With This Simple “Trick”
I Used in a Lesson

Swoosh book rendering

This children’s book came from a lesson I taught that instantly got a 5 year old to start turning. I still use this concept today and it works great because it’s not really teaching.

or Anywhere

I’ll take a run or two and watch your skiing, then we’ll come up with a plan with something to work on. We’ll then focus on that using some easy drills, and then work that into your skiing. I focus on safety, fun, and learning so that our time together is a success.
