Greetings Fellow Snow Pros!
The Art of Class Handling
It takes many seasons to have your class handling skills totally dialed in and ready for the multitude of situations, learning styles, ages, etc. But if you come to this PAID clinic you’ll get some ideas on how to be successful with those challenging kids and adult lessons the next time you are faced with the challenge! The clinic is open to skiers and snowboarders, as class handling is a cross discipline skill.
Paid Training Details
Paid trainings are meant to help you become a better skier, rider and instructor. These are not meant to be completed “because I have to” but because there is a clinic topic or training session that sounds interesting or something you’d like to learn. This means attending the same paid clinic topic 3 times does not count – diversify! Or just doing a skiing or riding improvement clinic 3 times is not really the point. Branch out, look at the clinic calendar and attend a Paid Training that can enhance your life as an instructor.
And yes, you may attend as many voluntary clinics as you wish. And you may attend any paid training as an unpaid participant if you’ve already completed your “required” hours of training.
