Instructor Profile #5:  Eric Lipton

6/9/2016

I had heard about Eric Lipton long before I ever met him.  I remember riding the lift with some instructors at Blue Mountain and Eric was initially described as one of the few select members of the PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) National Team who travels wherever there is snow training other instructors.  His skiing abilities were praised and likened to “a technical manual come to life.”  As we ascended the hill, the stories became more fanciful:  “It was an overcast day, but when Eric began to ski, the clouds opened and a sunbeam followed him down the mountain,” and then almost Biblical:  “Eric was at the top of the moguls and when he planted his pole, the bumps parted and he skied down the middle.”  The funny thing is, Eric’s rise through PSIA, which has enabled him to impact many people as he has skied all over the world, might not have happened.  Just over a decade ago, he was barely skiing at all.
