Growing up just a few miles from what was than known as “Little Switzerland”, Ric’s first memories of snow sports was tobogganing, sleds, cross country skis, leather boots, leather straps, wood alpine skis without metal edges and oh yes…Snurfers!...Fast forward a couple of decades to 1987; Ric returned to Swiss Valley as a ski tech, boot fitter, pro shop manager and budding “old school” snowboarder! After a few years he moved outside to teach snowboarding than later added alpine skiing to his repertoire. Ric has directed the Snow Sports Staff for over 15 years. He is a ***PSIA Lev II and ****AASI Lev III certified instructor. He is also an Accredited Trainer and Children’s Specialist II. Ric’s playground is the Wasatch Front in Utah, but his backyard area is Swiss Valley where he counts it a privilege and honor to work with such a talented, experienced, and dedicated Snowsports Staff!

Another key mentor at Swiss Valley serving both on the National Ski Patrol as well as our Instructor Staff, Stan is one of our more technical trainers and most tenured certified ***PSIA alpine instructor. Stan splits his winter snowsports season between Swiss Valley “week days” and Boyne Mountain “on the Holidays” Not only is he noted for his technical savvy… most importantly, he knows how to put smiles on the children!
