Coaching

I have extensive experience coaching women’s, co-ed, and junior freeskiing and camps for over 15 years and am available for one-on-one coaching or small groups up to 5-7 people, for half-day, full-day, or multi-day sessions. My focus is on building confidence through practical drills and skills, technique and body position to help all intermediate or higher skiers reach their goals, have fun, and ski hard. We can work on air, charging steeps, building confidence, picking lines, general technique, nailing the best ski photos, or any combination of skills to progress your freeskiing to the next level. Email me with questions/inquiries: ibackstrom@yahoo.com.

Trips

In over 16 years of professional skiing, I’ve had some great ski trips and some not-so-great ski trips—I’ve learned a lot about what makes a great trip great! I can help build your dream ski trip and show you around any number of destinations in the US, Canada, and worldwide, drawing on an extensive network of contacts with local guides, hosts, and companies. Resort, backcountry, cat skiing, heli skiing—the sky is the limit. Feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries, ibackstrom@yahoo.com.

Events

Take your next work /group /family trip to a higher level on the mountain! I love to build fun, creative, and personalized on-snow events for groups of any size and kind. We can ski, talk skiing with presentations and stories from my travels and lessons learned, show ski movies, talk snow safety, get philanthropic, or any number of fun ski-related events. Off-snow events are great too! Reach out: ibackstrom@yahoo.com.
