About

    It's not just about getting on the board and riding all day, it's enjoying and sharing the experience. Teaching has not only helped me improve as a rider, but allowed me to share the thrill and my love of the sport. I'm all about the technical stuff- as an engineering and physics student, I'm fascinated by the 'hows' and the 'whys' of riding and what the board is doing to make it all come together. Having a physical understanding of how your body moves to react with the board really adds confidence to each riders experience, especially while learning the basics.  
   I've been teaching snowboarding for four years now and have been riding close to ten. There's nothing I look forward to more all year round than grabbing my board and hitting the snow. I've taught all age groups and abilities, from little shredders to adults looking to "turn to the dark side" from skiing, and have even written research papers dealing with the physics of snowboarding. My understanding of the sport allows me to translate movement analysis into instruction and coaching to help you become a better rider. 
   I appreciate getting feedback from my students as well as fellow instructors- it helps me improve my abilities, So please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments and come shred with me anytime!

I currently ride a Salomon Gypsy and a Roxy Olliepop

Manda is talented and shows all of her skill. She knows what she's talking about and is a great teacher overall. I had a great year with her.

I had never been on a mountain or a board before i went to Wachusett and received a lesson from Manda, and i was very happy with her beginner snowboard class. She was easy to work with, and even managed to stay positive when dealing with a friend of mine who is tough to deal with, to put it VERY nicely. By the last run of the day, i made it down the mountain without falling, which i would not of bet money would of happened when i arrived. I would recommend sending any beginner to her.

I had always been a skier so I figured it would be hard to snowboard. Manda took Me from never being on a snowboard to doing black diamonds in the course of three or four visits to Wachusett and had a great time doing it.
