She was awesome. Communicative and fun. Really connected with my teen boys and made the class both informative and joyful.

Ava was great with my shy 5 year old - helped her build confidence, work on turns and have tons of fun. We can’t wait to ski with her again!

Ava was AMAZING! My daughter loved her. Her comments were, "Ava was the best instructor, she just gets me". She did a wonderful job of adjusting her teaching to things that were relatable for her. When teaching a skill for snowboarding she related it to volleyball since she had experience with that. She was great with her, age appropriate training and very relatable. My daughter said she wants to come back every year and only work with Ava. She left a great impression and has her hooked to snowboarding after one lesson. Thank you Ava!!

Worked great with my son who had no prior experience. By the end of the day he was coming down the slope with confidence and learning new things till the end of the lesson. Definitely recommend Ava for anyone that would like to learn snow boarding

Ava did such a great job with our 4 kids at different ages and different abilities. All 4 got off the hill and wanted to do more! She was kind, patient and happy. It was super cold and was still ready to go and even took lots of extra time to get them correctly fitted.

Ava was welcoming from the start and got down on Eloise’s eye level. She was enthusiastic and encouraging and got that kiddo ready for mountain skiing in one full day lesson. Ava was flexible with meal time etc. We have had three kids go through Frisco Snowschoolers and have had great success each time.

Ava was terrific! I hadn't skiied in 8 years so her tips and guidance have given me the confidence to get back up on my skis. Ava explained things clearly and answered all my questions. Zack was also knowledgeable and helpful at the desk. When we come back to CO, we will be back for lessons or an instructor ski session at Breck. Thank you for an awesome experience!!!

Anwita loves and enjoys to learn ski with Ava. Making her feel comfortable is the first step for kids to learn and Ava does that. Thank you Ava!
