Presented by Collin Bywaters, Alpine DECL, Dr of Physical Therapy

We will explore biomechanics in alpine skiing related to outcomes ranging from carving to skidding. Discussion topics will include ski snow interactions, kinesiology, anatomy, and physics of alpine skiing. A basic understanding of these topics will improve your on snow performance and deepen your understanding of the dynamics of alpine skiing.

Presented by Alpine Education Manager Colleen Jamieson

Learn to develop an effective training plan through effective goal setting. We will touch on the personal training approach and how to implement goals into training frameworks. Explore teaching vs training and how goal implementation may differ by recognizing skill acquisition, skill retention, and skill refinement. We will discuss the accountability measures and how to create action targets towards the goal.
