Last weekend we partnered with Stevens Pass Mountain Resort ski school to provide half of our Snowboard Instructor volunteers with teaching training. Despite being freezing cold, our Instructors came away with better tools to coach our youth this year: shared terminology, a learning progression, new games to teach skills, basic safety lessons and ways to give feedback. Plus we all became stronger riders.
We’ve got another training at Stevens coming up for the other half of our 2014 Snowboard Instructors in January and we’re looking forward to another rad weekend on the mountain!
