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 (Alpine Agility Drills):
What's a Cormayeur Shuffle? a Dolphin Turn? How about a Scissor Hop? Have you ever tried any Acro-Skiing moves?
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=468372680703684
In this HIGHLY energetic clinic, participants will Hop, Step, Glide, Squirm and Flail their way through skiing drills designed simply to develop and test their agility.
Agility drills disrupt your balance, interfere with your movement patterns, and challenge your concepts. Sometimes we perform them to prove a point to ourselves (so we can see), and sometimes to prove a point to others (so they can see).
Sometimes we create them just to watch another person try to untangle them.
In this fun and rewarding course, participants will explore the what, they how, and sometimes the why of some of skiings most elaborate of "stupid pet tricks". You may never be able to succeed at these tasks, but you'll have the chance to break them into their component parts.
Participants must be willing and able attempt high intensity exercises (like seriously)-- this is NOT a spectator course.
