Mogul Tips in New Hampshire Magazine
The December issue of New Hampshire Magazine includes a short, how-to mogul article of mine. Although the article's introduction is slightly inaccurate (I don't compete "all over the world"), skiers should find the mogul-skiing advice of some use.
If you're interested, look for the piece in the magazine's "UpFront" section.
Dan DiPiro is the author of the how-to book "Everything the Instructors Never Told You about Mogul Skiing," which is available at www.LearnMoguls.com, www.amazon.com, www.bn.com, through the toll-free order number (888)280-7715, and everywhere new books are sold.
In the late '80s, Dan competed in two USSA National Freestyle Championships and attained a mogul skier ranking of 21st in the country. In its November, 2005 issue, SKI Magazine recognized Dan as one of the nation's top-100 instructors. Dan has instructed through the ski school at Cannon Mountain, in Franconia, NH, and has coached mogul competitors at Waterville Valley, also in NH.
Dan is also a professional writer. His ski-instruction writing has appeared in SKI Magazine, New Hampshire Magazine, Heart of New Hampshire Magazine and elsewhere. Dan's non-skiing writing has been published in The Boston Sunday Globe and in college alumni magazines all over the northeast.
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.
