The North American snow sports industry is mourning the death of a ski coach and instructor who wrote several books that became ‘bibles’ for ski instructors.

Ron LeMaster, (pictured) aged 72, was skiing at Eldora Mountain Resort on Tuesday, 30 November, when he was involved in a collision with a snowboarder and died at the scene. Police investigations into the incident are ongoing.

https://municion.org/otsbmnpuqpo Ron worked as a ski instructor and race coach for more than three decades, including with the US ski team. His most influential books included ‘The Skier’s Edge’ and ‘Ultimate Skiing’. He also wrote technical guides for the Professional Ski Instructors of America.

“He was also a kind and generous person willing to drop everything to chat about skiing efficiency, mechanics and methodology,” said Dave Schuiling, the education director of the Professional Ski Instructors of America and American Association of Snowboard Instructors, in a statement.

He said: “For me and so many others in the industry, he was an amazing mentor and friend.”
