The Last Best Ski - Heidi Makoutz / Nordic Ski Instructor / Bridger Ski Foundation
Heidi’s mantra “ski into your best self” describes her enthusiastic commitment to the Nordic ski community in Bozeman. As the lead instructor for the adult or “masters” programs she gives some pointers of how to get on the ski trails and continue to develop skills and fitness regardless of experience.
Our Nordic community really demonstrates the love of being outside no matter the weather, making gliding on snow so much fun. I love the diversity of age that we get out there. On any given training day in town we can have a 75-year old skiing next to a 5-year old. I think that’s really special. BSF is doing more to have inter-generational ski experiences.
We live in an amazing place. You can make your own trail. Getting outside, breathing the fresh air, getting out on snow. We have so many offerings and don’t have to feel cooped up. Skiing is an amazing way to embrace winter in our unusual time.
