Course Description (Cen- Your Basic Everything Bagel (Alpine)):

PSIA events have a tendency to "Start in the Middle"- and a good deal of the knowledge needed to enter the conversation comes from experience.


This means that some participants hesitate to speak up-- maybe they are part time, and don't get to have the locker-room discussions. Maybe their Level I was a long time ago, or the content lacked context. Maybe a concept or exercise just never got explained.


This course is designed to explore the basic premises of PSIA-- from the Skills Concept to The Five Fundamentals, The Learning Connection to D.I.R.T., Everything and Anything related to teaching ski instruction can be part of the dialogue.


So many terms and concepts are bandied about during clinics- and sometimes it is difficult to be the one to raise your hand and say "I don't know what that means", or "I don't understand this exercise."


Your Basic Everything Bagel means you, your clinician, or one of your peers seeds the dialogue with a question, and you see where it goes.


Your clinician's role is that of "The Well of Tacit Knowledge"- meaning if they don't have the answer, they'll find it for you.


Conducted over one day or two evenings, open to non-members, highly recommended for reinstating members.









Course Description (Cen - I want my skis to BLANK (Alpine)):

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.



Course Description (CEN- I've got a Task 4 That (Alpine)):

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.





Additional Event Details:
