Ali Rainback. BASI Trainer

ALI RAINBACK. BASI Trainer. British Association of Snowsport Instructors.

It is with the very greatest regret that I hear from David Tapley that Ali Rainback has recently died.

If you never met Ali, you missed something. Ali was as yet only a young man, and a very decent one. He was one of the intelligent and thougtful souls in BASI. I don't think he was qualified as a coach, perhaps he was but in any case he acted like one.

Ali cared about his clients and pupils, and put a lot of thought into how he and his closer colleagues might best help them learn.

I did not know Ali well, but I was very impressed with him every time we met and talked.

BASI is much the less for his going, and so is skiing. It is always tragic when a young person dies, especially when they are as kindly as Ali Rainback.
