Course Description:

Join us for an immersive educational clinic designed to enhance your tree skiing skills and teaching techniques. We’ll explore essential techniques for navigating tight spaces, managing varying snow conditions, and ensuring safety while skiing among the trees. In addition to practical skills, the clinic will emphasize teaching methods tailored to different learning styles, enabling instructors to effectively communicate and demonstrate these skills to their students. By the end of this clinic, participants will leave not only as more skilled tree skiers but also as more confident and capable educators, ready to inspire their students to explore the thrill of skiing in the trees.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Enhanced Skiing Techniques: Develop advanced skills for skiing in trees, including improved balance, agility, and control in tight spaces and varied terrain.
  2. Safety Protocols: Understand the key safety considerations when skiing in wooded areas, including hazard awareness and group management strategies.
  3. Teaching Strategies: Learn effective methods for instructing students on tree skiing, including progressive drills and tailored feedback to cater to diverse skill levels.
  4. Peer Collaboration: Foster a supportive learning community among instructors, sharing best practices and experiences to enhance teaching effectiveness.
