Some call him Coach Och, some just stick with the classic “Ocho,” or if you want to be fancy feel free to call him Luke. No matter what name he goes by, our head ski coach is always one of the best guys around. If you haven’t had a chance to meet him, well, you’re missing out. He spends his winters in the rocky mountains, coaching, skiing, and working on his amazing company RMU Skis. Ocho finally had a minute to breathe after an interesting Colorado season so let’s see what this legendary young man has been up to:

Windells Academy skiers threw down some massive runs on the aspen open slope style corse, which was the same exact corse where the X-Games were held two weeks prior. Snowboard students competed in the halfpipe event along side Windells alumni JJ Thomas, and Dylan Bidez. Windells Academy skier, Eric Hughes placed 3rd overall in slope style at Aspen Open.
