TMHS Weekly Email 12/6/24

Well December is here and it seems like the snow is hiding and the sun is happy to hang!! Maybe this snow fact will help us get some fresh powder for all to enjoy! We all know that December is very busy and it seems like it happens twice as fast as any other month. We will keep you posted of all school related happenings thru our Friday email communications!

Telski would like to share the following information for those interested in the Jr. Pro Ski PE Program.

The Telluride Ski and Snowboard School will again be offering the “Jr. Pro” track as an alternative to the traditional Ski P.E. program. While skiing with members of the ski school training staff, attendees will develop their communication and skiing skills as they explore the art and science of helping others learn how to become better skiers and riders.

What it is: This program for students 15 years and older. It is an overview that seeks to introduce students to the many facets of being a ski/snowboard instructor. Students will cover the fundamental tenets of the Professional Ski Instructors Association (PSIA) and practice personal ski improvement with a focus on skills new instructors are expected to master. (Think practicing slow maneuvers on green groomed runs…not skiing steep trees or hucking cliffs.)  Students also focus on the progressions necessary to teach an effective lesson. Finally, students will get an introduction to age specific teaching models, and discuss the various pathways to become a fully certified ski instructor.  

What it is not:  Participation in this program should not be considered an offer of future employment at Telluride Ski Resort.  It does not include a PSIA membership or certification; nor does it count towards PSIA certification hours. PSIA membership fees, PSIA class fees, examination fees, transportation and other cost associated with obtaining a certification is solely the responsibility of the student. (For more specific information concerning first steps and the of cost/locations/dates associated with obtaining a PSIA certification see: htts://www.thesnowpros.org)
