Movement analysis, one of the most fundamental skills in snowsports instruction, requires discerning between effective and ineffective movement patterns. But where do I start? What do I look for? Join Brandon as he walks you through a variety of cues you can look for in your own MA, visually presented with crystal-clear, slow-motion footage.

Have you ever struggled to pick the “right” activity when teaching a lesson? In this tech talk, Quinn explores how to build trust with students, collaborate with them, and highlight particular fundamentals in a way that allows the ideal activity to practically pick itself.

Dave Raybould (PSIA-E Alpine Examiner and Stowe Manager) joins us to break down different types of turn transitions in skiing, including cross-over, cross-under, and everything in between. Learn how these different transitions affect ski performance and gain insights into when and where each type might benefit you or your students the most.

We get it, trying to read about biomechanics and physics can be a powerful cure for even the worst insomnia. Join us as Brandon explores a fun and unique perspective on some of the most important concepts of biomechanics and physics as they apply to skiing with practical applications to apply to your own lessons and movement analysis.
Cross-Discipline
Whether you have one plank or two, your heels are attached or not, or you’re using outriggers or a sit ski, the mechanics that dictate how our planks perform are all the same. Yet, different disciplines tend to think about how we get our skis and boards to perform in vastly different ways. Join us as we take a look through the perspectives of other disciplines for lessons we can use to make us better at our own skiing, riding, and teaching
