First Chair Podcast host George Thomas catches up with Carol Stecker at the Rocky Mountain season kickoff event. Carol has been a Keystone instructor for a long time and joined the season kickoff event to earn more CEUs and engage with other local instructors. George and Carole chatted about the event and how it has progressed this year. Carole talks about what she learned during the event and how she came for one reason and how this event ended up being much more than expected. Carole mentioned that she was genuinely happy that she could keep up with everyone and that she could still perform motion analysis and pick up on other skiers' abilities. They conclude with some goals for the season and the remainder of the season kickoff event.
