Course Description:
Ready to tune-up your skiing? Looking to confirm or clarify some teaching or movement assessment concepts? With the Alpine Update, you can give your on-hill skills a boost all while taking in the latest developments within our organization.
Specific activities will vary depending on the group and environmental conditions; however, they will typically include:
- Individual ski improvement through the lens of the Alpine Technical Skills
- A brief review of the Learning Connection Model
- Opportunities for Q & A in specific areas of interest, including teaching methods, movement assessment and equipment considerations.
Participants should arrive prepared to be on snow for 2 days and able to ski safely on all groomed terrain. Depending on trail availability and snow conditions, a group may elect to venture into ungroomed terrain, including moguls and glades.
