Dean is a certified instructor (CSIA/IASI Alpine 2, Snowboard 1, Adaptive 1, Freestyle 1) with 4 years of teaching experience, including 2 in adaptive skiing. Calm, patient, and technical in his approach, Dean adapts each lesson to the skier — always aiming for confidence and enjoyment on the slopes.

He works with sit-skiers, visually impaired skiers, neurodiverse students, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing.

“Everyone should get to feel the sense of gliding down a white mountain.”

Favourite run: Rodney’s Ridge, Lake Louise — first bumps, most falls, and best memories.
