This offering is an excellent opportunity for experienced instructors to work collaboratively, exploring the skiing fundamentals in applied situations. The group will learn to make situational changes to edging, rotary, balance, and pressure movements during this course. Participants will leave with a further understanding of the skiing fundamentals regarding tactics and terrain, body movements, and ski performance.

What: In this course, participants will explore dynamic skiing. They will factor for outside forces and variations in terrain, applying appropriate skill blends and maintaining the 5 fundamentals in order to ensure optimal ski and body performance.

Why: High-level skiing is both fun and exciting- the creation and execution of which is both an art and a science, with a foundation in technique and understanding.

How: Situational skiing- clinic leaders will seek opportunities to change up the skill blend to challenge participants' abilities and concepts.

What- Through a combination of D.I.R.T. (Duration, Intensity, Rate, Timing) and Skills (Edging, Pressure, Rotation), skiers can change everything necessary to alter ski-snow interaction. Doing so on-demand is vital to versatile skiing. The "Blank" in this scenario can be just about anything- Tip, Twist, Pivot, Bend, Turn, Grip, Slip, Spray-some-snow, or fly above a gap.

Who- The concepts underpinning this course are necessary for any ski instructor to grasp- and the nuanced modification of these abilities translates to the concept we call "touch"-- an easy to see, but difficult to achieve quality evident in the best of skiers. Open to all.

Why- Skiing at the "Basic" level implies the skier reacts to snow conditions- while dynamic skiers respond... changing their internal settings to anticipate the conditions before them. Through this course, participants will learn to do exactly this.

How- Terrain choices and speed will be dictated by the performance level of the group, while exercises may range from light to heavy exertion (participants may opt out) as they explore the range and rate of the movements needed to achieve an outcome.

What- "I've got a Task 4 That" is designed to connect "Tasks" (the exercises and drills we employ to develop our skiing) to the outcome we are seeking to achieve. Instructors who may have heard of an exercise or drill, but have not understood why the task exists, or how to connect it to the desired take-away of the student.

Who- This course is for any instructor seeking to reach into a bigger tool-bag, and to pull out the "right" exercise or drill for the student they are teaching.

Why- Our students expect us to brilliantly prescribe, not to randomly sample.
