Our mission is to provide you with programs which help you attain your alpine skiing, snowboarding riding and teaching goals. As an organization, we started out years ago running entry level ski instructor certification events. As we grew, the needs of our members grew also. We have taken steps to accommodate these needs by adding many exciting programs for your interest and enjoyment.

In today’s environment we look hard for value, price, performance, quality and long term enjoyment. Our programs offer this to you in an organized, professional manner. Let’s take a look at what programs may be offered at area events.

This 4 day program is for intermediate to advanced skiers who want to improve their personal skiing or learn to teach beginning skiing to others. Students receive four days of training in three areas: personal skiing skills development, learning basic teaching skills, and learning to demonstrate skiing to others. We teach you "how to" teach others to ski, and how to explain and demonstrate required maneuvers as a ski teacher. An on-snow evaluation is given on the fourth day to determine if you have learned what was presented and are qualified to help others learn to ski safely.

Level II Teaching Certification

This 6 day program is for Level I Certified skiers with one or more years of teaching experience who want to improve their personal skiing or learn to teach students from the wedge turn stage to open track parallel. Skiing, teaching, and demo skills are further refined, while the technical, and mechanical aspects of skiing are explored more fully. The skiing improvement portion is the refinement of the skills required at this level to ski comfortably on a variety of terrain and snow conditions. A one day on-snow evaluation is held on the sixth day to determine if candidates have acquired the skills to help students move toward the parallel phase of skiing.

Skiing Improvement - Intermediate or Advanced

Teaching and Skiing On Short Shaped Skis

Short Shapes are not just for beginners! This program will cover the teaching and skiing progression based on PSIA's "Stepping Stones", a pathway that explores a direct approach to parallel as well as our familiar wedge progression. We'll be skiing on 110 cm to 140 cm short shaped skis, which is the equipment the equipment many ski areas are using to teach beginners.
