Presented by Kyle Peterson, Training Manager at Sun Valley



How do we optimize learning for our students? This presentation will emphasize the importance of focusing on a specific skill to develop for your students, and how to enhance long term retention with a single activity and/or coaching cue.

Presented by Dr. Collin Bywaters, Alpine Ed Staff and Physical Therapist.



Have you been told that you do not have enough "separation" or need more "counter" in your skiing? This presentation will explore "Countered relationships" in theory and practice, including the body regions responsible for creating countered relationships. Do you have movement restrictions that interfere with developing these relationships, or do you just need more mindful training to achieve them. You will leave this presentation with actionable strategies to help level up your skiing.

Coached by Layla Ward, Wellspring QiGong



QiGong is an ancient Chinese health and healing practice that consists of movement, breathing and focused meditation to increase strength, flexibility and balance.

Coached by Ashley Watts, Alpine Ed Staff



Improve your balance, edging, weight transfer, and skating efficiency. Using inline skates as a dryland training tool, you'll develop movement patterns that translate directly to alpine skiing while building confidence and fitness before the snow flies. This is not a learn-to-skate clinic; participants should already be comfortable skating. The focus is on using skates to practice and refine skiing skills that carry over to the snow. Participants must provide their own inline skates and helmet.

Presented by Dave Keenan, CS Manager

This session will be held at Woodward Park City; transportation will be on your own. This session will begin at 12 PM.

Coached by Woodward Park City Staff

Just like teaching skiing and snowboarding, build a solid foundation of skills first. And just like our profession on snow, seek the experts that can teach you safely and progressively. Join us at Woodward to work with their resident pros to learn movement-based activities to increase balance and spatial cognition. Parkour is a version of urban gymnastics, using large foam blocks, spring floor, and surrounding area to Vault, Kong, and gracefully move over obstacles in a safe and fun learning environment. Trampolines will also be available for those looking to bounce or learn a new trick.
