CLINIC PLAN FOR OLYMPIC SKI
SCHOOL—DECEMBER 2007
Our clinic plan will follow the same general outline that we followed
last year. There won’t be as much mixing and our new recruits will be in
their own groups for 3 days. I am asking a large group of our level 3
ski instructors and some level 2 snowboard instructors to aid us in
teaching clinics this year.
Days: December 8th and 9th, December 15th and 16th
Times: Arrival by 8:15
Group meeting at 8:45

Saturday December 1st
Theme for today is STANCE AND BALANCE. Consider this all-important
component of snowsports all day in your clinics. First session will be
focused on getting back on your equipment, for the new people, giving
them confidence and an idea of what they are committing themselves to
this winter. In the afternoon, we will review levels I through 4. Again
consider Stance and Balance as the most important idea. If you need to,
review you levels before you arrive at the clinics.
Level I group goes all day with Dave G. and Kevin O.
The presentation at the hut above the Terrain Park should be showing the
safety video all day and throughout our clinics. If your group members
are interested in getting certified to run the big part this year, try
to find time to go there. The School Yard on the Brooks side of the park
will require no separate pass. The charge for the big park is $5.00 per
season—you get a separate pass for that.
Please note that there will be a planning meeting for the clinic leaders
at 2:24 to 3:30 in the East Lodge on the first Saturday afternoon. We
will be talking about our group goals for the rest of the clinics.
Sunday December 2nd
Morning Session will have the EDGEING AND PRESSURE THEME throughout the
clinics. We will go over levels 5 through 10 in this morning session.
New groups will go as far as the group is able. Level I group continues
with Dave and Kevin
Afternoon Session will work the ROTATION theme and work on personal
skiing; also focus on the transition between small, medium and large
radius turns, as well as, strategies for different snow conditions.
Saturday December 8th
Remember to check-in each day so you will get credit for attending
the clinics, recall that this will affect you bonus at the end of the
season. Level I group with Kevin and Dave
Morning Session will cover the prepared teaching demos brought by all
the members to the clinic. As usual I want a lesson of about ½ hour each
for a peer groups, a student group and some progressions the help with
difficult student problems
Afternoon Session will continue the teaching demos—but these will be
suggested by the clinic leader and be an “on the spot” type of scenario.
Sunday December 9th
Morning Session will feature the traditional Large Group Ski/Board
on Hogsback and Chief—we nee to show our colors to the pass—I think our
jackets will arrive the week before. We also need some new photos for
the website. Maybe a few group demos on chief will be appropriate also.
Break into Groups—review the last three days until lunch.
Level I group has test day with Dave and Kevin
Afternoon Session: Break into interest groups for the afternoon—These
are to be determined by staff request and clinic leader suggestion.
I sincerely hope that the clinics go as planned—no delays.
Mary
Olympic
