In this episode, the Ski Moms welcome Kristin Hurd and Karen Musgrave, Canadian ski instructors and co-creators of the Divine ARCS Affirmation Cards, a 31-card deck designed to help skiers connect with the mental and emotional side of the sport. Based at Silver Star Mountain Resort in Vernon, B.C., Kristin (originally from Australia, CSIA Level 4) and Karen (from Southern California, who became an instructor at 40 and earned her Level 3) met during their certification journey and have been collaborating ever since.
The conversation covers their CSIA certification paths, their new "Divine Arc Ski Experience" camps for women, their Kids Mountain Magic book, and practical mindful skiing tips, including Karen's "Superman pose" for overcoming fear. They also share a full destination guide to Silver Star, from travel logistics and lodging to dining, kids' programming, and après ski in the Okanagan Valley.
