Chuck C!
When we were at Breck, we were encouraged to hook up with the him to guide us around when he was done working. Though I did not get instruction from him, I was very impressed with his knowledge of the mountain and his character.
He is friends with Uncle Louie on Epic.
Chuck C can be PM'd on Epic, if you're interested.
I think he works out of the Beaver Run ski school at Breck.

I believe so.
What I know for sure is that I went to the ski school desk at Peak 8 and found out I was in the wrong building.
FWIW I would say I'm a solid 7, on my way to being an 8, and he was a ton of fun to follow into the chutes and bowls.
I just wish I'd hooked up with him on day one instead of day 4.(legs were a bit like spaghetti)

If it's not too late for your trip, I just found/joined the board yesterday...I highly recommend Dave Axelrod (nickname Ax). Have skied with him a few times in the last 5-6 years and he has done wonders for me. I think he works primarily from Peak 9 but can meet you at Peak 8 if that's more convenient for you.

I ended up taking a full day with Jan Degerburg (sp) who is based out of Peak 8 but met me at The Village.
She was awesome! Seriously, I had such a great time and felt like I really learned alot. We spent the morning working on bump technique (I still struggle, but I know what I need to work on now) and then the entire afternoon playing in the trees and off the T-bar. (It snowed and she was even cool enough to let me get first tracks!). She helped me work on my technique in the steeps and by the end of the day I was actually seeking out the tree runs and feeling much more in control during my turns as opposed to constantly feeling like I needed to put on the brakes.
She has a website too!
Thanks for your help ladies!

Thanks for posting this. I have a friend who is going to Breck in April and wanted a recommendation and I was clueless! Now I can help her out.
