Testimonials & Reviews

I want to thank you for the best ski week of my life. Fun and learning can go hand in hand when done right and you do it right. Every coach was outstanding and complemented one an other very well. Your program and philosophy are second to none and I so look forward to my next camp. I found my fellow campers delightful as well, making the experience just that much better. Many thanks for your kindness and teaching method. I’m a happy camper with a new set of skills.Dan

CM is the more proven, efficient method for advancing a skier's ability. Rather than a one-shot set of lessons, CM provides the skier with a program for lifetime improvement.Peter

The Clendenin Method will teach you to ski the entire mountain in control. Its building block approach to teaching the method works well because you can work on each building block for the rest of the season and the beginning of the next season.George

The instruction/feedback provided by the coaches is top-notch! I certainly walk away from each session with more confidence and better skills to ski smoothly and comfortably.Steve

The CM has allowed me to become an all-mountain skier. Before CM, I avoided bumps at all costs. I no longer fear them. I enjoy the challenge of skiing them and the satisfaction at the bottom of the run.Scott

CM is one of those rare, once-in-a-lifetime chances to transform your skiing experience to something you have only dreamed about. I believe it can extend your ski career 10+ years.Tom

Approaching the Clendenin Method, it is best to come with an open mind! Forget the pre-conceived techniques that have installed themselves in the mind and body. Once I managed to make this release, to create this open space, the technique flowed in to fill it. The more I created open space, the greater I absorbed the enlightening and effective methodology. Ultimately, my objective is to ski more efficiently, and more smoothly, over terrain that is more challenging, and often more intimidating. The Clendenin Method brought me a long way down this journey in a very short period of time.
I came to the program because I was skiing in survival mode and exhausted at the end of the day. The CM technique is completely counter to what I had developed over 20 years. By the end of Day 3, my skiing felt dramatically different - faster and smoother - and shockingly, I wasn't tired at all.Alina

You will definitely be a better skier - better technique, more aware of what to work on, and more confidence to push yourself - but also know when to slow down and regroup.Doug

The Book

"Clendenin Ski Method: Four Words for Great Skiing" by Mike Doyle, About.com, October, 2009

Bruce Thomson
John's book takes you step by step through the Four Words that create the basis of his Clendenin Ski Method. The use of graphics, photos, and progressive illustrations provides visual reinforcement to the written meaning of the Four Words. The application of the Four Words will allow any skier to progress to levels of skiing that they would not have achieved without following them. I have been following John's Four Words and have been able to advance my skiing to levels that I could not have achieved without them. I would highly recommend John's book to anyone that has an interest in improving their skiing and overall experience on the mountain.

The DVD

Gary Cassara
…The video is fun, instructive, demonstrates how beautiful and flowing Clendenin’s ski method is. Get the book if you’re not a visual learner. Better yet, get both and your skiing will advance as mine did. The easiest ski technique to apply for all mountain conditions.
