Great Race Training in Western New York
Race Training Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This
This February 1st – 4th will offer some of the finest race training that western New York has seen. Lead by former US Ski Team member and PSIA National Team member Dave Lyons, Slalom and GS specific race training will be held at Bristol Mountain and Holiday Valley. The Bristol event will also feature National Sports Academy Head Coach and PSIA-E examiner Dave Wenn. Each event will also have additional top coaches from the PSIA examiner staff.
Even if you have never attended a race camp event, this is the year to try it out! Racing is an excellent way to add excitement and variety to your skiing performance. It is a great way to develop the fundamental movements required to have a solid foundation of skills for all types of skiing, not just racing. If you are an avid racer, continue to challenge yourself and attend the Slalom or GS event. All PSIA-E race events are open to members and non-members.
Bristol Mountain – Slalom specific training; Monday, Tuesday, February 1, 2
Holiday Valley – GS specific training; Wednesday, Thursday, February 3, 4
Sponsored by Reliable Racing Supply there will be timed runs throughout the camp utilizing the newest version of Reliable Racing’s portable timing system.

PSIA-E Level I Validation
for NYSSRA and USSA members
Course Description and Outline
Each participant will have the opportunity to lead the group in either a “peer coaching” or a “share what you’re working on or coaching” role. The purpose of this is to allow the PSIA coach and the group to provide positive feedback to learn and improve teaching performance.
Participants will receive a Level I score card that will tell them if they would have passed the PSIA Level I exam. Those that meet the Level I standard will receive a PSIA-E certificate of “Validation.” Non PSIA members will not receive a member lapel pin or a Level I pin. PSIA members will receive their Level I certificate and pin. Event participants are not required to join PSIA.
Special offer: If a successful participant decides to join PSIA and pays current dues within 18 months of their successful course completion they will then receive the Level I certificate and pin and become a Level I member of PSIA.
Note: PSIA members that are not NYSSRA or USSA members may also take this course if they provide the appropriate signature on the application form from their school director stating that they are involved in coaching a race program on a regular basis. The course will be offered as follows:
Event #773: Saturday - Sunday, February 27-28, 2010 at Labrador, NY – Deadline 02/05/10
