Peaks Trainee makes GB Telemark Team

Ex Peaks trainee, Jack Harvard Taylor (Argentina 2008) has recently made the GB Telemark Team. Jack, who's currently studying Business at Bristol University will be competing this winter in Europe and America. Jack says, 'Going on Peak Leaders Argentina course has been a life changing experience. Not only bringing my skiing up to an instructor level I have gained valuable experience from legendary course leader Ed Cornfield in areas such as: leadership, motivation and many other life skills. As well as gaining a whole range skills and qualifications I have made friends for life who I spent last season with instructing skiing in Verbier, Switzerland.'

Testimonial

Peakleaders provided a brilliant springboard and a bit of a lifeline for a thirtysomething bored lawyer! I took a snowboard instructors course with Peak Leaders in NZ 2005, having become dismayed at my legal career and needing a break. Having passed the course it appeared for a while that I had satisfied my wanderlust and could settle for a while. I'm now full cert AASI qualification and impending season looking at being a trainer!
