About This Clinic

Western Region education clinics are non-exam-focused events designed to explore instructor skills and mountain terrain in a fun and supportive environment. Understanding why movements happen -- not just what they look like -- is the key to effective movement analysis. This clinic dives into cause and effect relationships at work in skiing and snowboarding, giving you a more powerful framework for observation, evaluation, and prescription.

What You Will Gain

By the end of this clinic, you will be able to:

• Identify cause and effect relationships in skiing and riding performance
• Apply this understanding to the Observe, Evaluate, Prescribe framework
• Deliver more accurate and actionable movement analysis in your lessons
