Bogus Basin ~ Is He A Professional Ski Instructor?

We were speaking with a few gents at the entrance of "Lower Nugget". After I had dropped in one of the guys (who is a ski instructor (Level 3 I believe) asked Lisa if I was a "Professional Ski Instructor"? Very humbling when you hear something like that from someone random on the Mtn. Considering this is only my 13th day on the mountain this season and 30th time total in the last decade, that really made my day!
