Each day, before training can begin, the snow and weather conditions are carefully assessed. Based on the results, different tactics are used to maintain the best atmosphere and comfort level for each group. Skiers are divided into groups of similar skiing abilities. Usually, there is a beginners group skiing on the green and blue runs, an intermediate group skiing on the blue runs and an advanced group skiing on the black runs. The make up of each group changes each day as skiers improve.

 

Our coaches provide a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which is very conducive for improving an individual’s skiing abilities. Many important demonstrations are provided for visual learners. A great amount of time is devoted to experimenting and trying new moves for kinesthetic learners. Time on the lift is spend on explanation of moves for auditory learners. Video sessions allow skiers to reinforce information provided by coaches and to identify their own progress as the week goes by.

All our coaches use non-technical phrases for easy comprehension and limit their feedback to one only area for improvement. The over all results of the training programs are very impressive. In a short period of time, individuals are able to progress and develop into confident and dynamic skiers. On behalf of my coaches and me, we look forward to provide another season of very successful Ski Improvement Programs.
