"Few people reach
their full potential as a skier or teacher --I just want to help
them reach their full potential. It
helps if the instructor knows
how to stay out of the student's way." With his fine
ski books, it's obvious Gary should be offering his own brand of DOWNHILL SKIING Lessons & Clinics Just like his
dance-teaching, Gary Heins is doing to ski-teaching
what Ray Hunt did to horse-training --he's there for the
students, all politics be damned!!! . With
Gary, . . . you learn how easy it is, . . . not how hard it is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And: Besides his SKI-BOY
POETRY, You skiers might want Gary's DUAL
GS SKI-BOY BAND, the finest in SKI-BOY-n-WESTERN
MUSIC, his "country diction in turns," "songs he wrote on
the plains between Jackson Hole and Texas," where he uses skiing as a crutch, to get away from his troubles ---they say he can sing .
. . like he don't need the money. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call

GARY WHO? Born and raised in the midwest, Gary Heins knew by age 4 that
he wanted to be a cowboy.. However, having
grown-ups in his life fearing no future for cowboys, something happened that
would shape his life and the SWINGIN' G brand: they took away his securely
well-worn dilapidated cowboy hat. . . . Little did they know. So DOWNHILL
SKIING is what lured Gary west to begin with in 1976--a kind of
substitute for riding and roping. Now
he's taught thousands of skiers of all ages and abilities, most of these for
the earlier-day frontier-justice Jackson Hole Ski School---he knows how to
prevent runaways on the steeps and skiers getting bucked off in the
moguls. Extremely qualified, but never
fully-certified by PSIA because of politics and pecking orders, he can certify you to ride the high lift---whether you
can ski down or not is up to you. What
you might call a working ski-boy, he considers it his job to go up on the
winter range to pack snow for summer irrigation. Maybe you've heard his weekly RADIO
SKI-BOY address. When you ski
with Gary---he's been appointed as a U.S.
SKI TEACHER with a jurisdiction for giving clinics anywhere in the
West,---ask him to recite his classic SKI-BOY POETRY, which is what led
to yet another heinsian phenomenon, his SKI-BOY-n-WESTERN MUSIC. Once out
west, Gary remembered his lost cowboy hat and his aspiration to be a
cowboy. Using his skiing skills, he
became a dude wrangler for several summers and learned to get acquainted with
horses, using, uh, baby-talk. A DEPUTY
U.S. COLT BENDER, he
does a bit of what he calls safe-n-easy COLT BENDING between spring and
fall---to improve his riding and his dancing: rather than breaking a horse's
spirit, he just tries to bend it in
the right direction. Read his WESTERN
RIDING manual, and you'll be certified to get bucked off and get back on; but you don't have to get
right back on, you just have to get back on right. WESTERN SWING
is where Gary's heart is in the evenings--"it's
just part of being a well-rounded wrangler," he says. Following the music of Bob Wills, George
Strait, and many others, Gary teaches men . . . to lead women with discipline
and spontaneity---no line-dancing.
"I've barroom danced with all kinds of women, thousands
of women including the difficult ones," he notes, "---everybody's
wife, sister, girl-friend, mother-in-law,---and I've learned a lot about getting
them to move the right way at the right time.
And," he says, "I am going to let you in on a secret: there
is a dire need for men who know how to lead a woman on the country dance
floor---fact is, I cannot dance them all myself." Not to be confused with square dancing,
which requires a trained caller and a lot of other people, this is something
you can do at home or take downtown. . . .
Take his six-week lesson series or read his book, and Gary will
certify you to dance with strangers.
Recently, when someone committed "Murder On Music Row," Gary
was appointed U.S. DANCE TEACHER ---they decided, even
if no one hangs of killing country music, someone should swing. Now
that's not the old cliché "many irons in the fire," as most
non-thinking people would think, but rather "one iron . . . in many
different fires." But Gary Heins,
wrangler-skier, may be best known
for his brass as a freelance writer---when
they took away his cowboy hat, they uncovered an inquisitive mind. Misunderstood by many, disturbing to some,
Gary's mission, via a revised-n-up-dated cowboy mythology, is to side-step
traditional hand-me-down beliefs and teaching methods . . . and put
responsibility for learning back on the shoulders of the student. To Gary, teaching means learning, and he
has an uncanny ability for drawing parallels and perpendiculars and reading
behind the lines, often showing people startling reflections of themselves,
in a congruous way. . . . Says Gary,
"If I can help one man satisfy one woman on the dance floor, if I can
prevent one divorce between horse-n-rider, prevent one divorce between skis-n-skier---" . . . Besides his SWINGIN' G BOOKS in tack stores, ski shops, and book
stores, look for his columns, RIDING or SKIING WITH HEINS-SIGHT, as well as other topics, all full of that delightful
backwards Heinsian Humor and
Philosophy. --JD |
