Hi, I am Mark Logan,

I first started teaching Snowboarding in 1998 while stationed at Misawa Air Base in Northern Japan with the U.S. Air Force.  I received my level I and II snowboard certifications through the Amateur Ski Instructors Association, a PSIA member school set-up to teach on a non-profit basis.  I taught my fellow military members and their families through the Base’s Outdoor Recreation Program at local ski areas.  While in Japan I received avalanche and backcountry travel training from the Canadian Avalanche Association. 

In 2001 I was transferred to Heidelberg Germany where I deviated from teaching and perused certification as a Patroller for the European Division of the U.S. National Ski Patrol.  Once becoming a Patroller I obtained certifications in Mountain Travel and Rescue and Avalanche Level I.  After retiring from the Air Force to Bonners Ferry Idaho I worked as a backcountry guide and Patroller.  In 2006 I joined the snow sports instructor staff at Schweitzer Mountain Resort.  I have skied and snowboarded throughout Northern Japan, Europe and the Western United States and enjoy sharing my love for snow sports with others.
