Instructor's Statement:
The vast majority of truly advanced skiers have moved well beyond the pure physical sensations of skiing. For me and many like me, skiing is a transcendental experience which brings me into a spiritual space. At a younger point in my life, I couldn't put my finger on what it was. As I have gotten older, I am seeing skiing as a portal, from the physical world into the spiritual world.

In winter of 2003-4, I piloted a course titled, "Skiing, Using the Terminology of Jewish Mysticism." It was a resounding success. As such, I am offering it in the 2021-2 season on demand. If interested, please send an inquiry to me.

I hope to see you on the Mountain.

Le-sha-lom,

Joshua L. Segal
