Course Description:
DURATION – 2 Days

PREREQUISITES – Alpine Level II Certification
RECOMMENDED PREP – Review the Alpine Assessment Guide
Are you leading staff training at your resort, or are looking to break into that crew? Want to sharpen your understanding of the Level I and II Assessments? Become familiar with how the Fundamentals apply in the assessment environment with the Eastern Trainers Academy. Through an exploration of the National Standards at each level of certification, you will gain some insights on how to best lead others through training for success.
Participants can expect the following format:
- Day 1: An exploration of the Alpine Technical Fundamentals through movement assessment and personal ski improvement.
- Day 2: A review of the Assessment Activities, Unified Assessment Forms and assessment format at the Level I and II standards.
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, some groups may elect to venture into ungroomed terrain, including moguls and glades.
