My name is Livia Zhang. I have been a member of HPSC for 6 seasons. I am excited to join the High Park Snow School and learn from experienced instructors, as well as contribute my skills to the club.I started skiing at Christmas in 2003. I fell in love with it on the first try. I feel gravity does the most work when I am skiing and I just need to control it. I like what my Trainer said – ski effortless. At the beginning, my ski pathway was not smooth due to a lack of formal training. In the 2013/2014 winter season I joined High Park Ski Club. With proper training and skiing with members with common interests, my skiing skills improved quickly. I became a certified CSIA Level 2 instructor in 2017 and I have actively taught for 7 seasons. I am a full-time Information Technology Professional. In my spare time, I am a passionate sports lover. I am very active in different sports in all seasons, either as an athlete or as a volunteer, which puts me in a very good mental and physical condition. I have finished 3 full marathons, and 4 half IRONMAN races. Now every year I still run several half marathons as a pacer and race an Olympic distance triathlon. The feeling of riding a road bike is so close to downhill skiing.I wish to continue to improve my teaching and skiing skills. I hope my ski skills and positive lifestyle can impact more people to have fun in the winter and live a healthy lifestyle. |
