This manual is one of the components meant to be used on C.S.I.A. instructor certification courses. It also provides interesting reading and background information for any avid skier and student of technique. Ski instruction has matured into a full-fledged part of the ski industry. Ski instructors of today must be more than accomplished skiers. They are viewed as ambassadors of the ski resort and skiing generally. A successful ski instructor is versed in learning styles and a variety of teaching methods to satisfy the demands of all types of clients. Ski instructors also receive training in guest service and customer relations to prepare for a career serving ski resorts and their clients. A well-trained ski pro is a valuable asset to any ski resort. This manual is reviewed and updated to reflect changes as they occur in skiing and teaching. Its purpose is to serve as a resource and reference in all things relevant to ski teaching. The information on these pages is the result of years of ski teaching, valuable lessons learned from other ski nations, as well as countless hours of discussion and experimentation among experienced ski teachers. It is the hope of the Steering Committee that in the future this manual will continue to serve as a useful resource that professional instructors can refer to.

Edward Washburn: I was one of four managing assistant directors under the managing director, Mr. H.D. Thoreau. My responsibilities were everything that nobody else had. They turned out to be myriad and diverse, to say the least. Max Dunn was an assistant managing director in charge of all skiing and skating events. This included supervision of the building of the ice rink, the outdoor skating rink, laying out all of the courses, getting the judges, doing all that. That occupied Max pretty fully. He couldn't do much of anything else. Bob Ewen was the personnel manager.

  • Business in Brief
    Business in brief 1. MARKET TENDENCIES The number of people in the world, who are engaged in skiing, is growing rapidly and according to various estimates by 2020 will exceed 500 million of people. During the past 3 years skiing season at European ski resorts has decreased by 30% due to warm and less snow winters. People want to enjoy skiing in the mountains but also tend to train in advance before the visit. This kind of dynamic stimulates the demand for ski services, including the development of indoor ski clubs. Some European countries with the population of 9-10 million have about 40 ski clubs and each has 2-3 «endless slope» ski simulators. We know from our experience, that the population of up to 50 thousand people, who are living within 20-25 minutes away, would be enough to provide the positive financial business of the club. In developing countries with the income level lower than the European one, ski vacations are gaining pace. Therefore, 1 club will open for every 200,000 citizens at first. The next 3-4 years will increase this ratio to 1 ski club for every 100,000 citizens. Indoor ski club guarantees the low level of competition in the niche of active recreations and the annual 100% level of demand. Due to the Proleski unique features, it is possible to get more than 65% of regulars with high and long-term customer loyalty. Ski Club - is a profitable and perspective business: The indoor Ski Club - is one of the fastest growing and profitable businesses with low competition among the outdoor activities (the increase of demand - more than 100% annually).
