Have you ever put your skis on and immediately froze in fear?

Frustrated? Others skied effortlessly down the hill and you’re stuck whimpering in a snow drift! No, thanks!

If this sounds familiar, then you know that skiing can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be! With some help and gentle encouragement, that first hard day of learning will turn you into a confident, graceful skier. 

We’ve refined the first-time skier and ski vacation experience into a fun experience—let us show you!

My mission is to make it more equitable. It doesn’t matter how much you invest in your ski instructor if you don’t know how to dress up correctly. You’ll end up uncomfortable and likely choose to have hot cocoa at the lodge instead of going to the top of the mountain next time. It doesn’t have to be that way! 

It doesn’t matter how much you invest in your ski instructor or your clothing. If you don’t know how to carry your skis and helmet and how to walk with your ski boots on, you’ll run out of juice before you meet your ski instructor. It doesn’t have to be that way!

I’m your ski and ski vacation instructor of SkierTV.com and I’ve been a certified professional ski instructor since 2012. My name is Ceylan – pronunciation is Jay-lawn. I’m based in Park City, Utah. Movement and nature are healing to one’s body and soul. One should not be excluded from experiencing the mountains just because skiing is complicated. You don’t have to be a black diamond skier to enjoy the mountains. In my wonderful world, I strive to create diverse, inclusive and equitable options around my passion: skiing. That’s what wakes me up every morning, and that’s why I create and teach this course.

OUR MISSION

At Snow 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Skiing and Stress-Free Ski Vacations, we’re here to prove it’s your time to hit the slopes and look fabulous! Our mission? To empower beginner and first-timer skiers. Whether you’re mastering the bunny hill or tackling your first faceplant, we make skiing fun, easy, and welcoming. Your skill, shape, or background don’t matter here. Our straightforward tutorials cover everything from gear to slope lingo, so that you know what to expect and enjoy the mountain with sass, confidence, and zero fear. We’re building an inclusive community where everyone finds joy on the mountain— even if you choose to stay on the beginner slope only. By the end of this course, you’ll go from ‘Which way do these skis even go?’ to owning your ski vacation, all while embracing the true spirit of the slopes: laughter, fresh powder, and soul-refreshing adventure.

OUR VISION

We see a world where skiing isn’t just for the pro skiers, the young, or the daredevils. Skiing is for anyone who’s willing to explore – Whether you’re on the bunny hill or the black diamonds, you belong here. If you need some hand-holding, we’re here for you for your introduction to skiing and/or returning to the sport after a long break. Our vision is for everyone to enjoy the mountains confidently and create memories that last a lifetime.

YOU can spend your vacation sitting by the fire and sipping your cocktail—there’s nothing wrong with that… However, I believe it’s more meaningful when you push yourself and learn something new.  Can I help you do that?

You don’t have to get lost in the details.
