Event 001 – Anatomy
Open to Members & Non-Members
Members $160 & Non-Members $185
Study the normal structure of the human body. Special attention is given to the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems to increase the ski teacher’s understanding of how the skeleton and muscles line up for maximum efficiency in skiing specific movements. Course conductor is Richard Frear.

Event 003 – Functional Movement Screen
Open to Members & Non-Members
Member:$160 & Non-Members $185
Functional Movement Screen is a ranking and grading system created to document movement patterns that are key to normal function. By screening these patterns, functional limitations and asymmetries are readily identified. Basic movement pattern limitations can reduce the effects of functional training, physical conditioning, and distort proprioception (body awareness). At the heart of the system is the Functional Movement Screen Score which helps to target the problem and track progress. The scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns. Course conductor is Brian Mieczkowski.

Event 007 – Motor Learning
Open to Members & Non-Members
Members $160 & Non-Members $185
Designed to familiarize participants with the structure and function of neural tissue. To introduce principles of neurophysiology that are vital to an understanding of the nervous system’s capabilities, how it coordinates the activities of the body’s organ systems, and how these activities are adjusted to meet the changing situations and environmental conditions of the alpine world. Course conductor is Richard Frear.
Event 008 – Movement Analysis 201
Open to Members who have attended the indoor MA 101
Members $160
This event has been developed around the instructor who has already attended the intro class. Focus will be developing a more focused eye on higher level skiing and a better understanding of how body parts move and their potential effects on ski/snow interaction. Participants will be expected to develop strategies, share them with the group and show how they would develop long term improvement for their client. The ultimate goal of the class is to reinforce how we can increase the quality of the skiing performance by improving and reinforcing skills vs just correcting a movement. Course conductors are David Capron and Chris Ericson.
