Combined Training

Due to the small size of the resort and instructor classes, we intermix our returning instructor and our new instructor training sessions into one. Returning instructors requiring less training than new instructors, most only attend a day to make the insurance companies happy.

This intermingling creates an interesting classroom environment for new instructors, where they can easily achieve information overload. Since we were limited to indoor maneuvers only, a lot of the time this past week was spent dissecting each others teaching methods for new beginners. We had a few instructors pass their ACE exams this past season and they've brought with them a whole host of new twists to our progression.

Biggest take aways from the session:

• Get certified for setting/fixing bindings from the rental shop.
  
• Do not set/fix bindings from local ski shops (legal liability issues)
• Have fun this season
