Additional Event Details:

Description:
This casual-yet-rich in-person seminar is built around three video clips (Level I, II, and III suitability) to promote thoughtful discussion, analysis, and shared insights. Participants gather in a relaxed setting--complete with coffee and donuts--to deepen their movement analysis skills while watching, discussing, and deconstructing skier performance in a supportive group environment.
Not everyone is required to present--ideal for those who learn best by listening, observing, and contributing when inspired.


Prerequisites:
Open to all instructors. Content is tailored to match certification levels I through III.


Outcomes:





  • Expand vocabulary and precision in describing rider performance.




  • Learn from peers across levels of experience.




  • Practice applying the Skills Concept and Alpine Fundamentals across certification levels.




  • Grow confidence in group discussions about skiing performance.




Experiences:





  • Review and discuss three curated skier videos representing different certification standards.




  • Collaborative analysis led by a facilitator.




  • Optional presentation opportunities for participants.




  • Insightful examiner-led debriefs on analysis approach and observations.




Intensity and Terrain:
Low physical intensity. Indoor setting.


Task Examples:





  • Small group brainstorm: "What did you see?"




  • Mini-presentations: Participants volunteer to deliver an informal M.A.




  • Facilitated discussion on cue-based vs. outcome-based observations.




Target Audience:
Instructors at any stage of certification. Great for those looking to engage with the material without the pressure to perform live M.A.
