Zac Zaharias - Nordic Coach

I started nordic skiing in 1977 when I competed in a military championship race on the Thredbo Golf course. From there I continued to race for many years for the army team and by virtue of my experience began to teach others how to ski. I also became heavily involved in running backcountry adventurous training expeditions for soldiers. I completed my NCIS Assistant Instructor course (equivalent to APSI Level 2 nordic) in 1991 which was an eyeopener for me as I was finally taught how to teach. After I retired from full-time military service I completed my Level 3 and 4 nordic instructor courses and began to teach for a number of nordic ski schools on a regular basis. In 2008 I started K7 Ski School at Perisher and I am proud that 14 years later it continues to grow and is ably led by fellow National Team Member, Jane Scheer. My passion for nordic skiing has come from appreciating the value that good instruction provides. It enables people to not only enjoy skiing but also for it to become a lifelong. Interski is part of the growth and learning journey so I can help others become their very best.
