About

I'm Laura, currently 20 years old and I've been teaching snowboarding for six seasons, going on my seventh. I taught at Wachusett Mountain for five years and have now moved on to working at Mount Snow. I started to teach at a very young age and have grown as a rider because of it. I connect with young kids and love to teach them, but I find myself equally enjoying lessons with teens and adults. I've had experience teaching with different kids freestyle teams, and have taught kids from never snowboarding before to the freestyle level. I teach snowboarding simply because it makes me happy to keep the sport I love growing and expanding to different generations of people. It also is a huge reason why I've developed into the person, rider, and teacher I am today. I have a passion to do this, and don't think I could go a season without teaching.

Not going to lie I had my doubts about Laura in the beginning. But mostly because she was new and well a girl, and from girl to girl the only way to gain respect from one another is to make sure you can throw down or at least try to, even if it means wrecking yourself while going for it. She quickly gained my respect. Not only could she show me most of the tricks I wanted to learn she always had constructive and positive feedback making me want to stomp my tricks even more. She also has the best snowboard in THE ENTIRE WORLD, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

Laura is a great coach, she really took the time to show and explain how to try new things and has some very inspirational pep talks.
