​​Some current themes include:
-
Ski Improvement: Our advanced ski improvement session is about precision, power, and flow. We’ll kick off with a quick review of your goals before diving into on-snow exercises designed to refine your movements and increase your efficiency. Think high-performance carving on firm snow, dynamic short turns through moguls, and seamless line selection in variable terrain. Throughout the session, you'll receive personalized feedback, including on-the-spot video analysis, to help you see and feel the subtle adjustments that make a huge difference.
-
Ski Improvement - Bumps: Our advanced bump session is all about rhythm, control, and adapting to dynamic terrain. We'll start with an on-snow analysis of your current technique before diving into specific drills designed to enhance your skills, and line selection. Think of it as a masterclass in reading the bumps— learning to link turns seamlessly, absorb impacts with quiet confidence, and navigate the most challenging lines with ease. Through targeted feedback and on-the-spot video analysis, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how subtle adjustments to your stance and movement can make a massive difference in your efficiency and flow.
-
Teach Improvement: This one-day session is a deep dive into the PSIC Technical Blueprint, designed to elevate your ability to assess and develop students. You'll learn to apply the purpose-based approach to create functional skiing, driven by student-centered, situation-specific teaching. The session will guide you in connecting your observations of the ski-to-snow interaction and the skier's movements to the three core control skills: rotational, edge, and pressure control. By incorporating on-the-spot video feedback, we'll give you a new tool to identify and communicate with precision what a skier is doing and how they are impacting the ski. By the end of the day, you'll be able to make well-informed decisions about where to focus your development efforts, using a non-prescriptive approach that leads to functional skiing in any situation.
We are working to add more Adventure Days programs at more resorts. If you have an idea for a session theme or a request for a specific resort, please email us and let us know. We love to hear from you!
