What Our Clients Say!
Latest Video Testimonial More Video Testimonials (click here)	Latest Written Testimonial I have just finished reading ‘The Clendenin Ski Method’ book for the first time, in preparation for the forthcoming ski season in Australia. Although I have yet to put skis on this year I know I am already a better skier... Your explanations have made explicit so many details (moves, sequences of events, points of balance, use of feet, edging technique, pole technique, summed up by Drift, Centering, Touch, Tip and the Keys of the Kingdom) that are alluded to in other books but never fully explained... Thank you for a highly readable book with wonderful, coherent, complete, and easy to comprehend descriptions of skiing technique...

The History of the Clendenin Ski Method

As a two-time World Freestyle Champion, John Clendenin has a long history in bump and mogul skiing. Originally he found his niche in the amazing mogul fields that abound on Aspen Mountain. As his clientele grew, Clendenin discovered a couple things. 1) His clients are primarily baby boomers and 2) baby boomers’ interests go beyond just bump skiing. Baby boomers wanted to expand their ability and find a safe way to ski the whole mountain – to ski all the terrain in all conditions in control. John developed the Clendenin Ski Method to accommodate mature skiers and produced a method that establishes sound fundamentals of safety and speed control on groomed terrain first. These same fundamentals are the foundation for control, style, and safety in the bumps and moguls. With the Clendenin Ski Method emphasis on safety the Clendenin Ski Method focus turns to the secrets of speed management – once learned these simple fundamentals translate to all-mountain skiing. Ultimately, his passion remains providing his students with the skills to ski safely, in control, and with less fatigue, in all terrain including the bumps and moguls. John’s passion for sharing this technique has lead to the publication of his first book, “Clendenin Ski Method: Four Words for Great Skiing” and his new DVD "Finding the Love Spot." His Ski in the Kingdom segments, which were aired nationally on RSN, Plum TV, and Egan Entertainment, have been incorporated into the DVD.

Boomers, More Boomers, AND Others for the Bumps

While the majority of Clendenin Ski Method clients continue to be baby boomers, the Clendenin Ski Method attracts skiers of all ages and abilities. John’s Aspen specialty program, the Clendenin Bump School, is the longest lasting bump specialty program in the Ski and Snowboard Schools of Aspen. Not only useful in moguls and bumps, the Clendenin Ski Method is applicable in all off-piste, steep and deep, but also on all groomed terrain. One of our clients keeps coming back because she wants “to ski in control and ski beautifully.” (See other testimonials.)
