About
Steve Hindman came to Telluride in 1976 to ski bum only to find no snow
and no lifts open. This launched him into the backcountry, where he
caught the initial wave of the telemark revolution. Between then and
2010, he lived in Bellingham, WA, traipsing about snowy mountains,
meadows, and trails on all types of skis. He is a 12-year veteran of the
PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) telemark and
cross-country demo team and led the adult ski and snowboard school at
Stevens Pass in Washington State for five years. Since 2010, he has
shared his love of skiing as one of the top alpine ski instructors at
Telluride. In the summer he focuses his love of helping others reach their goals as a life coach and as a personal trainer.
Steve also offer Heli-Camps in conjunction with Telluride Heli-Trax and "Just Ski It" Boot Camps that include pre-season life and conditioning coaching sessions combined with in-person sessions on and off the snow in Telluride.
"My brother and I made the trip out to Telluride late last season to improve our backcountry technique and train for a heli skiing excursion in the San Juan range. It was our first visit to the mountain, but we struck gold with our backcountry instructor, Steve Hindman. Steve led us through an increasingly challenging curricula that resulted in immediate improvements in our capabilities and confidence. He tailored his advice and guidance to our individual strengths and weaknesses, and pushed us through terrain that was both fun and challenging. Despite the rigor of instruction, Steve's friendly demeanor and positive disposition made the instruction the most fun I have ever had on a mountain. All told, Steve has earned his place as our instructor of choice -- we've already begun booking our second session with him this season. If you're looking for the best that Telluride has to offer, look no further than Steve Hindman." -- Jason Woosley
