Course Description:
Course Name: Moguls for Women Only
Discipline: Alpine
Time: 2 Days (12 credits)
Environment: Bumps in blue terrain or easier advanced terrain
Note: Due to variations in trail difficulty designations from one resort to the next, i.e., a Blue Square run at one resort may be designated as a Black Diamond at another resort. It is possible, and probable at some resorts, that ungroomed or Black Diamond bumped runs may be included in this event. In addition, trail difficulty may vary due to snow conditions improving or deteriorating throughout the day. The course conductor will determine if the local trail designations and conditions are appropriate for the ability of the group and will choose terrain appropriate for the event.
In addition, resorts make every effort to have bump runs available for our events; however, there are times when conditions make skiing bumps impossible. In this case the course conductor will make every effort to develop bump skiing skills on other terrain.
Prerequisites: Registered Member
Course Description:
This course is for female instructors only. This event is ideal for female members who want to be free to explore their skiing boundaries, and develop new skills, in a supportive environment. Course content will be determined by the group's ability, as well as their goals and objectives. The group may begin with basic skills and tactics and then progress from there.
Participants are expected to ski in mogul terrain during the event. Participants will get more from the clinic if they can make proficient short turns before the start of the event.
Learning Experiences:
Specific activities will vary depending on the group and environmental conditions; however, they will typically include:
• Identifying, through activities and feedback, how applying and adapting the skiing fundamentals will aid and improve bump skiing.
• Practicing and applying improved flexing and extending skills in a variety of moguls.
• Refining the ability to turn legs more than the upper body.
• Analyzing how body posture and pole usage impacts performance.
• Practicing bump skiing skills in different bump fields, different lines, turn shapes and speeds.
• Delving into strategies and tactics for approaching and skiing bump runs.
• Exploring women specific considerations that may impact performance in moguls. Topics may include, but are not limited to: fear, equipment, and anatomy.
• Developing the ability to use the Skiing Fundamentals and the Skills Concept to observe and describe how bodies move, versus how they should move, and how the skis should perform in bump skiing.
