By appointment only
Endless slope is Sam Morishima’s school of extreme sports for
everyday people and uh…primates. Learn to ski, snowboard, or
surf on Sam’s indoor carpeted conveyer belt. For the absolutely
inept or those that are curious to the extreme, Sam can train
anyone, and I mean ANYONE. In fact, you have to see it for
yourself, but he trained a chimpanzee to snowboard for the Disney
movie MXP. That’s Most Xtreme Primate, for those of you without
kids. Yes, the little monkey learned to surf carpet before hitting
the slopes for the camera. Now that has to be the end-all
testimonial for any instructor. He has schools in Sacramento and
in San Francisco. A single class is 30 minutes for $75. Price breaks are
given for three or more classes. Instruction is one-on-one,
informative and tailored to your skill level, whether it be novice
or expert. Stick a gift certificate for a class in a stocking for
those with two left feet.
