Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing
In the 1980s, Dan DiPiro competed in two USSA National Freestyle Championships and attained a mogul-skier ranking of 21st in the country. Today, Dan coaches mogul competitors at Waterville Valley Ski Area in northern New Hampshire, and competes in open mogul contests around northern New England. In November of 2005, SKI Magazine named Dan one of the top-100 instructors in the nation. His ski-instruction writing has appeared in SKI Magazine, New Hampshire Magazine and Heart of New Hampshire Magazine. His non-skiing writing has appeared in The Boston Sunday Globe and college alumni magazines all over the northeast. His ad copy has appeared in SKI, SKIIING, POWDER and Backcountry magazines. And his short fiction has appeared in Aethlon, the Journal of Sport Literature. Dan holds a bachelor's degree in English from Tufts University, and master's degrees in education and teaching from Boston University. He lives in Bedford, New Hampshire.
