ASIA Earlybird Event

Shape up Your Turns at our Earlybird Event
November 28-29 and December 5-6, 2009
The snow is on the way! Hey, early birds! Just can't wait to get out on the snow and get those first runs in? Take the Level 1 Teaching Certification over Nov 28-29 and Dec 5-6, 2009. It's a great way to kick off the ski season and get your skiing off on the right foot! No muss, no fuss, no crowds. Or take the Level 1 Alpine Refresher on Nov 28-29, 2009. Check out ASIA's website www.asiaski.com for more details. (Leaving the Belleayre website.)

It's A Skiing Best Buy!
The 4 day Level 1 program fee is $220.00 plus lifts. The two day Level 1 Refresher is $110.00. Discounted lift tickets are additional and available through us the morning of sign in for the event by cash or check.

Program Offerings
Level 1 Alpine Certification - If you're looking for a job teaching skiing, this event is just what you need to give you your entry level teaching and demo skills. If you just want to start looking like a ski instructor, the skiing improvement and technical focus will get you there!

Level 1 Day 1 We spend the first morning skiing to get warmed up and get our ski legs under us. For many folks these will be their first runs of the season! This usually means a few warm up runs and exercises to hone in on fore and aft and side to side dynamic balancing movements. Then we'll ski through the tasks we'll be expected to perform on evaluation day. These include straight running, wedges, wedge turns, wide track parallel turns, short radius turns and hockey stops. In the afternoon, we'll learn and ski the teaching progression from the rental shop to linked wedge turns on the beginner hill. You'll be the beginners and we'll be the coaches.

On day two, we'll start out the same, then in the afternoon, we'll go through the teaching progression again, and start having you become the teachers. We'll look at our own balance and symmetry in the beginning skiing tasks and learn the cause and effect of skiers' movements and how to enhance them.

On day three we'll work through all the skiing tasks in earnest, to get ready for the evaluation on the fourth day. There will be lots of practice and personal feedback to help you. The third afternoon, you'll become the teachers, and get feedback as you take your fellow candidates (the students) thru the progression from never ever to mountain skiers.

Day four will be the on-snow evaluation of your new teaching, technical and demonstration skills, and then you're off and running! I mean skiing!
