  • Intermediate Ski Curriculum ------Which Group Should I Join? (Skills and Fitness)
    New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club Intermediate Ski Curriculum ----------------------------------- Which group should I join? (skills and fitness) Ask yourself: “Am I comfortable snow plow turning on a slope and doing step turns?” If the answer is “no,” stick with the beginners. That's just what the beginner group will practice. If the answer is “yes” and you think you are an intermediate student, “Have I skied for most of a day, 5 miles or more?” You should be fit enough to be out all-day, ski six miles & do some work up and down hills. Why Learn Intermediate Skills?: When people learn downhill (alpine) skiing, they usually learn that only beginners snowplow, and once you move beyond beginner level, you parallel ski and no longer snow plow. This is NOT true for cross-country and back- country skiing. Please check this attitude at the door. Cross-country & back-country means having options & making choices, depending on conditions & terrain. Just because someone can parallel or telemark turn doesn't mean they don't snow plow when necessary. A skilled cross-country or back-country skier has a repertoire of turns and skills. For example, on a mountainous back-country tour or hut trip when a trail is narrow or icy or steep or trees are close and skiers carry heavy packs, to descend treacherous places they may snowplow, use kick-turns, or make a wide traverse instead of going down the fall line. When the legs are tired or the snow very deep, skiers may use techniques such as parallel or use step turns.

  • Ski Cross Event Manual
    Table Of Contents INDEX SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION / HISTORY SECTION 2 MEMBERSHIP / REGISTRATION SECTION 3 COACHING SECTON 4 OFFICIALS-SKI CROSS SECTION 5 HOSTING A SKI CROSS EVENT SECTION 6 COURSE BUILD GUIDELINES SECTION 7 CONCLUSION / CONTACTS 2 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION/ HISTORY Ski Cross was created as the part of very early alpine ski competitions, which had the so-called ‘mass starts’. The mass start was used, for example, in the one of the first races, the ‘Inferno’ in Mürren Switzerland, developed by a group of British skiers. Modern variations of the ‘mass start’ concept were first used in snowboarding and now in skiing since the late 1990’s. Ski Cross is an action packed event with Athletes using a combination of skills competing head to head on a Cross Course with rollers, bank turns and jumps, all done with an attitude. “First through the finish wins.” SKI CROSS OVERVIEW Internationally, Ski Cross is governed by the Freestyle branch of the FIS and therefore the FIS Freestyle ICR is the rule book used to govern Ski Cross. The instructions and rules contained in this document are only a summary of the rules of Ski Cross. THE HISTORY OF SKI CROSS The Canadian Ski Cross team was formed in June of 2007 after the IOC decision to include the freestyle discipline into the Olympic program for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (OWG) in Vancouver, BC - following a very successful introduction of its sibling discipline Snowboard Cross at the 2006 OWG in Torino, Italy. In essence the Alpine Canada Ski Cross program focused solely on World Cup, World Championships, and Olympic Winter Games performance in alignment with the funding requirements set forth via Own The Podium (OTP).

  • Alpine Skiing Drill Book Updated August 2008 Coaching Principles STEPS in TEACHING a DRILL 1
    Alpine Skiing Drill Book Updated August 2008 Coaching Principles STEPS IN TEACHING A DRILL 1. Introduce 2. Demonstrate 3. Explain 4. Organize 5. Execute 6. Correct 7. Practice GENERAL PRINCIPLES Drills should relate specifically to what you are teaching. Athletes should be made aware of how drills relate to the sport. Drills should only be a part of your practice. Drills should be introduced at a slow pace and then gradually increased Drills should be accommodated for fitness, age and abilities. Drills should move from simple to complex. First perform drills that will help keep the interest of athletes. Drills should relate to the system of play that the athletes will use. Perform a variety of drills to prevent monotony. As fatigue sets in, technique deteriorates so provide frequent rest periods. EXECUTION PRINCIPLES Review the drill procedure before practice so you know how it works. When introducing a new drill, walk a group of athletes through it so others can see how it is performed. Avoid talking too much, get the athletes performing, they will learn by doing. When errors occur, the drill should be stopped momentarily to correct errors. Praise those athletes doing the drill well and encourage those having difficulty. If equipment is necessary, ensure it is set up before so that progression from one drill to the next can progress smoothly. Warming up for alpine is about becoming comfortable on the skis. Proper stretching of the lower body is also very important. As a group, work through a series of exercises on the skis. Follow these exercises with 5 minutes of stretching.

  • Ancient Skiers Book 2014
    Second Edition - 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked if I would write the history of the Ancient Skiers, I was excited and willing. My husband, Jim, and I were a part of those early skiers during those memorable times. We had “been there and done that” and it was time to put it down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Yes, we were a part of The Ancient Skiers and it is a privilege to be able to tell you about them and the way things were. Life was different - and it was good! I met Jim on my first ski trip on the Milwaukee Ski Train to the Ski Bowl in 1938. He sat across the aisle and had the Sunday funnies - I had the cupcakes - we made a bond and he taught me to ski. We were married the next year. Jim became Certified as a ski instructor at the second certification exam put on by the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) in 1940, at the Ski Bowl. I took the exam the next year at Paradise in 1941, to become the first woman in the United States to become a Certified Ski Instructor. Skiing has been my life, from teaching students, running a ski school, training instructors, and most of all being the Executive Secretary for the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association (PNSIA) for over 16 years. I ran their Symposiums for 26 years, giving me the opportunity to work with many fine skiers from different regions as well as ski areas. Jim and I helped organize the PNSIA and served on their board for nearly 30 years.

  • 2021-22 NYSEF Freeride Program Info
    2021 - 2022 NYSEF Freeride Program We use the term Freeride to define the many disciplines within the sports of skiing and snowboarding not related to traditional nordic or alpine ski racing. Below are descriptions of each of the disciplines and some of the terminology used to describe each. Freestyle skiing – The foundation for what we call Freestyle skiing are the traditional sports of Moguls(M) and Aerials(A). The word “freestyle '' can also be used as a general term to describe snowboarding & skiing disciplines such as Halfpipe, Slopestyle, & Railjam which involves tricks, jumps, and terrain park features, such as rails, boxes, jibs, or other obstacles. Slopestyle (SS) – a judged skiing/snowboarding event held on a terrain-park course consisting of a variety of jumps, boxes, and rails. Skiercross (SX) – Also called Ski Cross. Downhill race with as many as six athletes in a heat on a course consisting of a variety of jumps, banked turns, and rollers. Athletes are normally seeded by way of an individual time trial prior to heat racing. The top athletes in each heat advance to the next round while the others are eliminated. Boardercross (BX) – Also called Snowboard Cross (SBX). Same as above with snowboarders. Railjam(RJ)(R) – Railjams are ski and/or snowboard events held solely on rails or box features in a jam-style format. In this format athletes take as many runs as possible in a predetermined time period and may or may not proceed to a final round. Can be judged by a panel of judges or by the competitors themselves.
