“Hi, I’m Glen Plake, national spokesperson for Learn a Snow Sport Month.

Most people know me as an extreme skier and I admit I have done some pretty crazy things on snow. I’ve worked hard to be able to do some things most people can’t do or shouldn’t do. One thing I’ve learned during my career is that, first and foremost, snow sports are FUN! You can enjoy being outside in winter, have a great time with family or friends and get some exercise.

By the way, I know how important it is to take lessons from a pro. This winter LEARN a SNOW SPORT! Go with a Pro! 

So many states are part of Learn a Snow Sport Month. Just click on the logo of your choice below.  And, say HI if you see me on the slopes this winter. “
