Private ski-performance support from Eddie Stevenson, Doctor of Physical Therapy. Individualized preparation, orthopedic and performance guidance, and priority access throughout your time in Big Sky.
Limited private engagements · Big Sky, Montana
A ski trip can ask more of the body in four or five days than normal life asks in several weeks. An old ACL reconstruction. A knee that gets sore after consecutive days. A back that tightens up. Legs that stop responding the way they did on day one. Or a small issue that suddenly raises the question: should I keep skiing?
Private Ski Performance gives you one person who already knows your history, understands skiing, and can help you make those decisions throughout the trip.
Individualized ski-day preparation based on your body, injury history, current symptoms, fatigue, and what you plan to ski that day.
Yesterday matters. Preparation and recommendations change as fatigue accumulates, soreness develops, conditions shift, or the demands of the day increase.
If something starts hurting, get an informed clinical assessment instead of guessing whether to push through it, modify the day, or seek additional medical care.
The objective is simple: help you stay capable across the entire trip, not just feel good for the first run.
Injury history, relevant surgeries, current symptoms, skiing background, and anything that may influence the week. No lengthy onboarding.
We establish where things stand and identify the issues most likely to matter during your stay.
At your residence or another approved location. Mobility, targeted strength or isometric work, balance and neuromuscular preparation, progressive loading, keyed to what you're skiing that day. The goal is not to exhaust you before skiing. It is to prepare you to ski.
Private clients have priority phone and text access. If something changes, we decide what makes sense next. For an acute or serious mountain injury, Ski Patrol and medical services lead.
When needed, we reassess symptoms, address specific problems, modify the following day's plan, and use appropriate recovery or manual treatment. This is not automatically an hour of treatment every evening.
Private Ski Performance can be useful for individuals, couples, and families who want a more informed approach to managing their bodies during a ski trip. Especially relevant for:
You do not need to be injured to use the service. The best time to understand what your body needs is often before something becomes a problem.
Private Ski Performance is designed to complement professional ski instruction, not replace it. When useful and with your permission, I can share relevant physical considerations with your instructor: current symptoms, fatigue, limitations, or anything else that helps them structure the ski day.
They remain the expert on your skiing. I stay focused on your physical readiness and orthopedic needs.
I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy and performance coach based in Bozeman, Montana. For more than a decade, my work has centered on helping active people move from injury and rehabilitation back toward demanding sport, with a particular emphasis on knees, ACL rehabilitation, strength, and skiing.
I work with everyone from active adults trying to keep skiing well as they age to competitive and professional skiers returning from significant injury. Private Ski Performance brings that same clinical and performance lens directly into the ski week.
I am not there to medicalize every ache. I am there to understand what matters, help you prepare appropriately, and make better decisions when something changes.
Offered in a limited number of engagements throughout ski season.
A dedicated day of ski-performance support: pre-ski preparation, priority access during the ski day, and post-ski assessment or recovery when needed.
For Friday to Sunday visits and consecutive ski days. Pre-arrival planning, individualized ski-day preparation, priority access throughout, and ongoing adjustment as the weekend progresses.
For longer family trips where continuity becomes especially valuable. The service evolves across the week based on how each skier is responding, rather than repeating the same routine every morning.
For families who spend significant time in Big Sky, extended stays and seasonal priority-access arrangements can be created privately.
Private engagements from $2,500/day. Weekend, multi-day, and seasonal arrangements by request.
Availability is intentionally limited. Engagements are arranged directly around your schedule and needs.
Sometimes the work may involve clinical assessment or treatment within my scope as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, but Private Ski Performance is broader than a traditional PT appointment. The engagement is designed around the physical demands of the ski trip rather than a clinic visit.
No. Many clients have orthopedic history, but the service can also be used proactively by skiers who want individualized preparation and informed management across consecutive ski days.
No. Ski instruction remains with your ski professional. The service is specifically designed to complement their work.
Yes. Engagements can be structured around an individual, couple, or household. Recommendations stay individualized rather than putting everyone through the same routine.
Depending on the engagement and applicable access policies, sessions may take place at a private residence, lodging, or another approved location in the Big Sky area.
Acute or serious mountain injuries should be managed through Ski Patrol and appropriate emergency or medical services. I can help assess appropriate next steps within the scope of the engagement, but Private Ski Performance does not replace emergency medical care.
Availability is limited, particularly around holiday periods and weekends. Earlier inquiries provide the greatest scheduling flexibility.
