John Naple

I started skiing at Silver Bells in Wells in the 1960's using very long surplus Army skis painted black. I am retired from teaching teenagers some biology, geology, meteorology, and astronomy. Each morning before school I would ski a loop using a once-a-year blue waxed pair of Head wooded skies. I would repeat the ski loop often in the dark after school. I still have those skis and like them. My three children have grown and can out-ski me now. I still often ski the Lapland trails with my wife. Her favorite trail is Sisu - Determination. I patrol at Lapland and Oak Mountain. I enjoy tennis and swimming and hope to learn to telemark turn. Hope to have an opportunity to talk with you on the trails!
