selectors

All of our selectors and nominators are top-notch skiers with successful careers as teaching professionals. This group is comprised of former members of the PSIA National Demonstration Team, PSIA Examiners and Ski School Directors. Each year, they work to select the Top 100 and Top 10 for bergiesbest™. We are grateful to them for all they have done to ensure the credibility of these selections. We thought we would give you a little insight into who they are. A comprehensive background on each of these outstanding professionals is linked to this feature section.

Jerry Berg - Overall Selector
Jerry "Bergie" is the heart and soul of bergiesbest.com™. He conceived the idea for a website that recognizes the top professionals in the ski industry. He is known for his shear passion for the sport and brought this team of nationally known professionals together to create the core of this site.

Carrol Levine - Overall Selector
Carol has a long history of being a terrific skier. She's a former ski racer from the University of Utah. To show you how good she is, she is a two-time selector for the PSIA National Alpine Ski Team. She's so good she picks the best of the best to represent the United States in professional skiing. She is Director of Training for Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado. She is often described as a wonderful and thoughtful person. But if you want to buy this lady a drink, make it a single malt scotch.

Joe Webster - Overall Selector
Joe is tapped for Summer Race Coaching, PSIA educational clinics and exams. He began his skiing career on the massive mountains in Minnesota and started on a vertical drop of 200 feet. He is very motivated with training ski instructors and when he's not skiing, you'll find Joe pursuing his other love - motorcross. It's easy to see where he got his nickname, Fastman. And what other guy would list as one of his hobbies the pursuit of happiness?

Steve Bills - Central West Nominator
Steve is a very good skier in steep terrain, something most of us can only dream about. He is a long time ski instructor who ended up taking over a ski school and running it. Steve is known as a good skier who deserves to be in a position of decision making and helping others. Steve has been a mentor to many during his time as a ski teacher.
