Skiing and PSIA is a family affair for Ross Matlock. Wife Jill Sickels Matlock was a National Alpine team member from 2000-2004 and they’re raising a couple of little rippers of their own. Ross is convinced that kids can and should learn to telemark at an early age, and has launched a children’s telemark program at Crested Butte Ski School. He has also helped organize several telemark festivals, including the US Telemark Slopestyle Championships and Tele X festivals in Crested Butte, the Telemark Free Ski Championships, Mountain Adventure Seminars and Grand Targee Telephoria. Ross has been a ski school director, clinic leader, telemark instructor and backcountry ski guide in his native Australia. His globe trotting adventures are numerous, ranging from skiing the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt, to ski mountaineering in Valdez and 1st descents in the Ruth Glacier area of Alaska.
