Event Calendar

Presented by Alpine Education Manager Colleen Jamieson

Learn to develop an effective training plan through effective goal setting. We will touch on the personal training approach and how to implement goals into training frameworks. Explore teaching vs training and how goal implementation may differ by recognizing skill acquisition, skill retention, and skill refinement. We will discuss the accountability measures and how to create action targets towards the goal.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understanding basic training plan development starting with the outcome.
• Outline a goal setting method and how to implement it for your training.
• Understand how to stay on track for goal achievement.

Take advantage of the opportunity to improve your air awareness on 5 Olympic fly bed trampolines and 2 Super Trampolines with guidance from a Woodward Coach. Proper bouncing, bed trick, and spin techniques will be covered as well as flips and off axis rotations for the more adventurous participants.

Presented by Collin Bywaters, Alpine DECL, Dr of Physical Therapy

We will explore biomechanics related to outcomes ranging from carving to skidding. Discussion topics will include ski snow interactions, kinesiology, anatomy, and physics of alpine skiing. A basic understanding of these topics will improve your on-snow performance and deepen your understanding of the dynamics of alpine skiing.

Presented by Alpine DECL Maggie Loring

Here comes the 'season' of training! Prepare yourself for learning and growth by examining how you receive feedback. Learn how to get the biggest benefit from the often difficult or challenging feedback that comes your way. Even when you didn't ask for it!

Join a training session with a Woodward coach on the indoor pump track, airbags, and foam pit using the Parkboards and Parkskis (skis and snowboards with wheels). Experience the benefits of some of the most innovative progression tools in the industry firsthand.

This session will focus on establishing and adapting foundational positions and movement patterns to create desired skills. We will utilize Woodward's unique training tools to develop progressive drills that build into fully developed skills.

Presented by National Team Member Stephen Helfenbein

The best snowsports lessons are ones that are relevant to a student's needs. Relevance can only be achieved through a continuous and intentional decision making process. Lessons are most successful when the instructor's decisions & behaviors prioritize the student's trust, learning and performance goals.

At this year's Interski in Finland PSIA will present its ideas and practices about decision making. Get a sneak peak at that presentation with Stephen Helfenbein. He will share some tools that will help you create a lesson that meets the needs of your students by adapting to the unique circumstances of each lesson.

Presented by Fitness Coach and Alpine DECL Heather Dumas

This workshop will help you to

• identify your own muscle imbalances
• learn corrective exercises to rebalance your muscles
• understand how muscle imbalance/weakness may be preventing you from improving your skiing/riding

You will be moving around both seated and standing so please dress accordingly. Not recommended if you're currently injured or your movements are restricted.

National Team member Stephen Helfenbein will explore how to use in-line skating to improve your skiing through activities that highlight balanced gliding, powerful carving and fluid turning. Demo skates will be provided or bring your own. Participants must have protective gear and a helmet.

Presented by Eric Rolls- PSIA-AASI Snowboard Team Head Coach, National Snowboard Taskforce Chair, Education Leadership Council (ELC) member

Learn how collaboration and adaptability play an important role in engaging with the student's motivations and goals. We will also discuss how these concepts are assessed in PSIA-AASI certification assessments to promote student engagement and retention. This multidiscipline presentation is a proposed topic for the 2023 Interski Congress in Finland.
