Meet our coaches

---

   I am the head coach at Manning Ski Club and look after our ski program.

 I started skiing a long time ago back home in the  Bavarian and Austrian alps. Now, I am a ski coach in good standing with Alpine Canada and a ski instructor with CSIA. 

Alpine Skiing is a good and rewarding (winter) sport for all ages. Therefore,  it is a perfect family activity.

Showing other people this wonderful sport and helping them to become better skiers is even more rewarding for me.

Join us at Manning for some cool turns!

I work in the agricultural and forest industry and I have been skiing my entire life. Skiing my one true sporting passion.

I started skiing  right here at Manning Park  and became more in interested in teaching when my son started skiing.

I coached hockey for 20+ years and taught ski lessons at Manning for 20+yrs and still fill in when needed.

I want to bring a different style  of attitude and ability to the Club's Nancy Greene program:

My goal for this season is coaching each student to push their limits.  Try new things. But most importantly HAVE FUN. 

My name is Tessa Rebele, I am currently a grade 11 student.

 I love being outdoors and going on adventures. My hobbies include horse riding, piano, and art. I have been skiing since I was about three years old and grew up in the Manning Ski Club. Skiing has always been a big part of my life, there is nothing better than skiing on a fresh powder day. I currently have my level 2 ski instructor certification and my goal ski coaching is to make sure everyone is safe, excels, and most importantly has fun! 

Hi, I'm Danika Yokoyama I've been passionate about skiing since could walk, hitting the slopes at Manning Ski Club from the age of three. Now, as a certified CSIA Level 2 coach, I love sharing my experience and helping others enjoy the sport as much as I do. When the snow melts, I trade in my skis for the saddle, spending my off-season immersed in equestrian activities. Whether it's carving turns on the mountain or riding trails, I'm all about enjoying the outdoors and inspiring others

to embrace an active lifestyle.

I began skiing with the Nancy Greene Ski Club at the age of 6 and remained with the program until I was 12. After skiing casually for a few years, I decided to give back by volunteering as a junior coach. I’m excited to continue developing both my skiing skills and coaching abilities and passing on my passion for skiing..

I’m retired from the Canadian forces, Started skiing in 1976 when stationed in Europe.

What I love about skiing is the ability to be out in the fresh mountain air being able to challenge myself off piste or relax and cruise the groomers .

My goal as a ski coach is to help develop whoever I’m coaching young or old to be the best around skiers they can be and making sure that we are all having fun and wanting more.
 

Daniel is new to the MSC ski coach team in 2024/25. Besides ski coaching, Daniel is our treasurer at MSC.

Hi, I'm Elliot.

My name is Elliot. My skiing journey began in the Nancy Green Program at Hemlock where I developed my passion and love for the slopes. I joined the alpine race team with the Manning Ski Club and participated in the 2016 BC Winter Games. Since then, I have continued to develop my skills and have been sharing my love for skiing through coaching. I have completed my level 1 and level 2 ski instructor courses.

I am a second-year biology student at Simon Fraser University. I have been accepted to study veterinary medicine in England to pursue my long-time passion for helping animals. I look forward to sharing my love for skiing by providing feedback in a safe environment, encouraging new skills, and most importantly having fun! 

Hi, I’m Daniel, I started skiing at 4 but only got to go a few times a year this changed when we moved to B.C. when I was 10, where I joined the Manning Ski Club and improved rapidly. I did the program for 3 years then did one year of casual skiing/snowboarding. This year I am excited to start as a junior coach and help people to improve at skiing and have a blast whilst doing it! Outside of skiing, I am a Master Corporal in my local army cadet corps, enjoy mountain biking in the summer, and play on both the soccer and basketball teams for my local high school.
