About Us
In 2006, veteran instructors Charles Biggers and Dino Haak established BeyondSki at Snoqualmie Pass, WA, with a single mission: to offer the most comprehensive ski and snowboard lessons available. They built a premier school staffed by highly experienced and certified professionals. Every BeyondSki instructor holds credentials from recognized institutions, including the Professional Ski Instructor’s of America (PSIA) and the American Association of Snowboard Instructors (AASI) and their international equivalents.
BeyondSki proudly operates under the ULLR Snow Sports umbrella, a partner of The Summit at Snoqualmie.
