Description: Technical Skills Clinic, Full Day, On-Snow

Assessment Prep Goal: This clinic will prepare candidates for dynamic on-piste skiing expected at the Level 3 standard on groomed intermediate and advanced terrain.

Continuing Education Goal: Improve parallel skiing in intermediate and/or groomed advanced terrain.

Clinic Outcomes: By the end of this clinic, participants will be able to:

• Identify and discuss the movement changes that contributed to accurate and aggressive ski performance.

Clinic Experiences:

• The clinic leader and participants will collaborate to determine a relevant goal related to parallel skiing.
• The clinic leader will demonstrate how to create round turns that rely on the ski's design.
• The clinic leader will emphasize the skill blend required to begin a turn with grip, create highest edge angles and pressure during the shaping phase and decrease edge angles and pressure in the finish phase.
• The clinic leader will provide feedback so participants are able to make specific adjustments.
• The clinic leader will facilitate practice so participants may apply their feedback
• The clinic leader will facilitate reflection on the day's goal and what movement changes contribute to accurate and aggressive carving.
