He also held positions at the Mammoth Mountain Ski Team, Cardrona Alpine Resort (NZ) and was on the PSIA Western Technical Team. Jimmy is a USSA Level 300 and PSIA Level 3 certified coach, an avid mountain biker, runner and hiker with a background in strength and conditioning and wilderness first aid.
