Instructor training for Beginner Ski Clinics

Instructor Training for Beginner Ski Clinics

CONDITIONS PERMITTING

The plan:  We're still trying to offer some beginner clinics, despite this season's wonky weather.  Ahead of the clinics, we are offering this Instructor Training Day.  Whether you are a new instructor or went through trainings last season, we hope you can make this day.

We will meet at The Grove to sign waivers, setup carpools, and get ready for the day.  Then we'll head up to Swampy Sno-Park to go through the progression and get you prepared to teach.

To prepare:  You might want to review Resources for Instructors.  Note that you have to be logged in to view this page.

Time and place: Meet by 9:00 at The Grove (921 NW Mt Washington Dr, Bend).  We meet at the south end in front of Thump Coffee.  We aim to be finished at Swampy by noon.  Note: the ending time does not include time to travel back to town.

Ski Equipment:  Appropriate classic ski equipment for groomed tracks: 70 mm width skis or less to fit in the tracks. Wider skis are OK, but they will not fit in the tracks so you will be skiing in the skating lane. Currently, tracks are not set, but they may be.

Gear:  
- Clothing to match the forecasted conditions; Proper winter clothing (no cotton)!
- Water, snack.
- A smile
