What is Touchstone?

Touchstone is a small group of PSIA Certified Instructors with new ideas.  We have taken ideas presented in the 1980s and resurrected them with innovations of our own.

Those original ideas were ahead of their time.  The wonderful new shaped ski had not come into existence.  Today's skis turn much easier because of their design, and we believe that they only require the use of normal human movement patterns to perform efficiently.  We also believe that because of this you no longer have to learn how to ski, you already know how.  You just don't know it.

What you do have to learn is how to balance when moving downhill on a pair of skis. Touchstone has developed methods that use your natural desire for balance in rediscovering a process you already know.

Touchstone does not "teach" in the traditional manner.  We use a natural, holistic process that brings you to a place of balance while skiing, dealing only with what you already know and understand.
