About Blizzard Sports Academy

Blizzard Sports Academy (大雪学院) is the authorized Chinese-language ski & snowboard instruction partner of Big SNOW American Dream — North America's first and only indoor ski and snowboard slope, about 30 minutes from New York City.

We teach skiing and snowboarding year-round, in English or Chinese, to students from age 4 to adult. Every coach on our team holds PSIA-AASI certification — the national standard for American ski and snowboard instruction — and teaches with a patient, safety-first approach.

Whether it's a 4-year-old's very first time on snow or an adult chasing cleaner carves, we build the lesson around the student. 因材施教 — teach to the student's aptitude — is how we work.

Coach 蘑菇🍄

Ski

The team's big mushroom — seasoned, deep skill with a powerful yet relaxed style all his own. Across ten-plus years on snow he fell for the terrain park and built a safe, fun path into freestyle skiing. He believes solid fundamentals are the fastest route to a confident stance — happy skiing on any terrain, in any conditions. From first turns to park progression, he rides ahead of you, clearing the way. Beyond podiums and racing, he wants more people to find skiing as relaxed, joyful self-expression that fits real life.

Coach 昕仪🦉

Ski

“When you ski, always take it a little 小昕仪” — her name doubling as “carefully.”

Coach Jordan 🐕

Snowboard

The first Chinese AASI Level 3 snowboard instructor on the East Coast, holding freestyle and children's specialist credentials. As BSA's chief advisor — and a founder of Just Travel, one of the most influential brands in the East Coast Chinese ski community — Jordan has introduced tens of thousands of people to snow sports over ten-plus years. Thorough and attentive are his trademarks: deep command of teaching systems plus genuine care for each student's fitness, mindset, and conditions, always building the most effective plan for you.

Coach 小楠

Snowboard

A professional snowboard instructor with 3+ years of teaching experience and AASI Level 1 certification, specializing in teaching kids. 小楠 builds a safe, fun learning environment, explains vividly, and breaks details down so every movement makes sense — with her own playful methods that help kids pick up riding while having a blast.

“Snowboarding isn't just a sport — it's a lifestyle. I love sharing its joy and skills, and hope to help more kids and riders find confidence and happiness on snow. See you on the slopes!”

Coach Ryan

Snowboard & Ski

Hi, I'm Ryan — a young coach with real passion. Since my first day on a board I've loved the freedom and rhythm of the mountain. I specialize in freestyle (park) snowboarding and know freestyle skiing too, so I can coach all kinds of goals.

My style is relaxed, fun, and step-by-step, with confidence and safety first — whether you're eyeing your first jump or progressing to boxes and rails, I'll help you take the next step with certainty.

Coach Victor

Snowboard

“A snowboard instructor; teaches a bit of snowboarding.” — Victor

Coach LZ 😺😺

Snowboard

A man of few words off the snow, Coach LZ teaches in the most direct way possible — and students everywhere swear by him. He fuses years of riding with AASI theory, always starting from the student: plain language, demonstrations that click, and drills that work. His fitness background gives him a sharp read on each student's body, preventing injury from every angle. On snow and off, his optimism rubs off on everyone around him.

Coach 王翔 ☀

Snowboard

Out of pure love for the sport, 王翔 went full-time as a snowboard coach. He has three years of teaching experience — he was helping friends learn long before it was his job — and keeps that original passion: excitement, joy, challenge. A fitness and skateboarding enthusiast, he connects principles across sports for safe, well-rounded lessons.

“Snowboarding isn't just a simple sport — the deeper you go, the more it hooks you. Build the ability to ride any run safely, and every snow mountain in the world opens up to you. Trust me, that joy is worth a lifetime. Okay, enough dreaming — let's start with the basics. Sign up with me: you've absolutely got this!” — 王翔

Coach Sheryl🍊

Snowboard & Ski

The first Chinese female AASI Level 3 certified snowboard instructor in the US, also holding children's and freestyle specialist credentials. Sheryl has taught at major resorts on both coasts, with 200+ days on snow a year and deep group- and private-lesson experience. Her teaching is warm and patient, her theory meticulous, with her own take on all-mountain riding, carving, buttering, and park. Off the snow she's a wakeboard ace and a yogi — broad athletic experience she turns into better lessons, opening new chapters for her students.
