Craig Woods; Best Ski Instructor, Ever.

My boys loved skiing with Craig on our family trip in January and because my eldest son got sick that week, I was only able to ski with Craig a short time.  So when I had to come to Denver for business, I couldn't consider not also coming to Vail to ski. My kids even sent me on my trip with little presents they had picked out for him.

I think I tested Craig's patience more than a few times over our 4 days on the mountain together - although he never, ever showed it.  What I think is amazing, is that he can say the same thing 15 different ways and I still wasn't able to get it.  However, my breakthrough moment came at the bottom of the steep part of Avanti when he yelled "Karen! I think you're starting to look like you know what you're doing!"  I made him repeat that several times on the chair lift afterwards...and then a couple of more times on the next chair lift.....and so on.  Getting that comment out of an instructor like Craig was so worth the time, money and effort involved.  Thanks a million!
