在2025年2月滑過一天單板，只會Heel side然後平常沒怎麼做運動的兩個香港人，在4月19-20日跑到北海道Kiroro滑雪場春滑學單板。 因為滑雪場的駐場滑雪學校只提供日/英語教學，所以在網上找到了這個雪浪滑雪學校，希望能夠跟教練有效的交流，在短短兩天內盡可能學習更多技巧。可能是因為接近滑雪季末，所以未能安排廣東話教練。然而塞翁失馬，焉知非福，Ark教練真的超級細心、有耐性，以及非常專業，我們犯的小錯誤 / 壞習慣都會被他抓到，每滑一小段停下來的時候，Ark教練都會一些很有用的feedback，感覺就是跟以前的教練完全不一樣，非常非常用心的教學。 這兩天完結的時候，已經學到Toe side、S turn的技巧，還加了一招轉圈圈。感謝Ark教練用心教學，很期待下一個雪季可以再找Ark教練練功🤗。

ARK教練非常有細心及耐心 從穿鞋開始後 過程中還會不斷地確認裝備安全，教學過程簡單明瞭！微調的小細節幫助了我很多，課後筆記協助我的滑雪技巧有了很大的進步！ 最後在Ark教練的悉心指導下，度過了非常愉快的兩天，S型轉彎也穩定許多。 同時我們也分享了雪季前心得非常有趣，值得收藏起來！期待下個雪季！
