 Experience the only intensive week-long ski course based on Lito Tejada-Flores'    best selling books, DVD and videos, BREAKTHROUGH ON SKIS, the shortest route to expert skiing, is designed with one goal - to take you from intermediate plateau into the world of expert skiing and beyond.

Breakthrough on Skis is entering its 17th season and has evolved into an Aspen/Snowmass tradition;  bringing participants back year after year.  We welcome and encourage you to join us a great week of skiing!

Why the program works -

These weeks are so successful because you, our participants , make such a commitment of time and enthusiasm, both to skiing and yourself.  With five full days of coaching, you will build new muscle memory and change those habits that have prevented progress in your skiing.  In five days everything can change!

 Our coaches have a deep understanding of Lito Tejada-Flores' method of transforming intermediate skiers into real experts.  The simple approach Lito  developed and refined simply works. Breakthrough on Skis is not "business-as-usual" ski instruction.  Instead it breaks down expert skiing into a few key elements  - not dozens of "techy" details or new fads.  These key elements are moves you can master and enjoy for years to come.

Being in good physical condition before starting the program will add even more to your success.  The physical demands of skiing multiple days at high altitude in different types of terrain are much more easily met with proper conditioning.

So if you are really ambitious about your skiing - and eventually would like to feel at home in all terrain, including bumps, double - black diamond slopes and powder - this is the course for you.  With four fabulous mountains with varied terrain to use, we have room to practice, room to move and room to ski!

Questions?  Feel free to email to our program coordinators Mike Romanus, rom@rof.net and Lavelle Saier, ocean-eyes@msn.com. 

We hope you will join us for a fun-filled week of unforgettable skiing at one of the world's premier ski resorts, a week devoted first and foremost to expanding your skiing horizons with real breakthroughs - a ski week that really delivers!

A Note from Lito Tejada-Flores

Let me take a moment to tell you that Mike and Lavelle and their team of pros and coaches are not just good friends; they are also - collectively and individually - the finest, most dedicated, caring and creative ski teachers I ever had the privilege of working with.  This program is the result of years of exciting instruction and experimentation.  Creating Breakthrough on Skis was a team effort and this is a ski-coaching team without equal.  I am confident that these weeks are the best ski lessons offered anywhere this winter.

Good skiing,

Lito Tejada-Flores
