BASIC STOKE
What does ”Basic Stoke” mean?
Basic - fundamental, original.
Stoke – in the extreme sports community, it means being amped, euphoric, thrilled, ecstatic, invigorated, joyful, and happy.
The Basic Stoke concept was born already years ago, when I was at the top of a mountain, strapping into my snowboard and a wave of euphoria
surged through me, accompanied by a raw, rather primal rush that
signalled things were about to get good.
Unravelling this thread of thought led me to the idea that it doesn't matter what stage of life you're at, how bad the weather is, or what happened yesterday, because the moment you stand at the top of a mountain with skis or a snowboard under your feet, you have achieved Basic Stoke.
From here, things can only go uphill (well, downhill in the literal sense).
We try to bring this concept into our ski and snowboard training with
the goal of achieving Basic Stoke at a higher and
higher level, safely and securely. And why not carry what is achieved
in the mountains into your life afterwards.
VISION
The goal of Basic Stoke is to elevate clients' skills to the next level through systematic teaching, so they can enjoy the euphoria that comes from safely, securely, and confidently zooming down the mountain on a snowboard or skis.
PROFESSIONAL
Systematic teaching using globally recognised
Canadian ski and snowboard teaching methods.
The CSIA (Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance) and CASI (Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors) – uniquely created and managed by snowboarders, have developed systems suitable for
teaching skiers and snowboarders at every level.
EXPERIENCE
Our instructors have not only instructor licenses
but also extensive experience, not just from local slopes but from
the peaks of mountain ranges located
in various parts of the world.

FOUNDER AND COACH, BASIC STOKE
Since 2012, I have been training both skiers and snowboarders from beginners to experts, working and training as an instructor in Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland, Andorra, and Japan.
Ski (CSIA) and snowboard licenses (CASI) from Canada, as well as instructor licence updates, have provided me with the skills, experience, and knowledge to efficiently refine the technique of skiers or snowboarders at any level.
Self-improvement and training on snow have taken me to the level where I also train new instructors and issue licenses from the Canadian Instructors Association, as well as run the ski school JD SkiSnowboard School (jdnisekosss.com) in Niseko, Japan.
When the snow is gone and the long waiting period begins, I keep myself busy as a kayak guide and mountain biking enthusiast. Additionally, I keep myself active daily using the MovNat system, which helps my body move and become stronger just as our bodies are designed to do.
