This two-day event is for members of any age who would like to improve their skills working with all levels of senior skiers. Course includes in-depth study of the technical and tactical elements of contemporary skiing and modern equipment as applied to seniors. We will study how modern technique can optimize strength and balance, and expand enjoyment. We will also cover how to work with seniors in terms of pacing a lesson, group dynamics, and flexibility to student’s physical limitations.  You will be evaluated on your teaching and successful candidates will receive a Level 2 Senior Specialist Certificate.

*The Seniors Specialist is being piloted by the Western Region and may undergo additional changes before becoming a Specialist Certification offered and acknowledged nationwide.

Course Schedules are subject to change due to terrain, weather, crowds, group size, snow conditions, etc.  Please use this information as a rough guideline.
