On this mountain, everyone can learn a thing or two.
 
“Our instructor, John, who has been at Wisp for eleven years, had the two of us on Odin’s Chute and Eye Opener (black diamond slopes) in no time.... Thanks to John, I am on my way to skimming the slopes in parallel style.” 
— Colleen Kenney, Guest Author and daughter of dcski.com’s writer, Jim Kenney.
