Ski & Toboggan Clinic - Sugar Bowl Resort
2024-03-22 - 2024-03-24
GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE YOUR TOBOGGAN AND SNOWRIDING SKILLS

This is not just a senior clinic for Senior candidates. It is an awesome chance to learn new techniques or old techniques that may been forgotten with toboggan handling on some fun and interesting terrain at Sugar Bowl. Also it is a great opportunity to spend time snowriding with PSIA level 3 instructor on Friday and Sunday from NASTAC to improve your snowriding. It is very important for senior patrollers/OET instructors to review or enhance your snowriding/toboggan handling skills at least once every 3 years to knock away some bad habits/rust or learn some new tricks or new tools to put in your toolbox. Not to mention it is a fun way to meet and hangout with fellow patrollers from other hills. YOU DONOT NEED TO ATTEND ALL DAYS UNLESS YOU ARE A SENIOR CANDIDATE.
The course is listed as Senior Evaluation Alpine Skiing/Riding Sugar Bowl
Senior Evaluation Alpine Toboggan Sugar Bowl

Please forward this invitation to other patrollers and other patrols in other regions.

It could be a “fluid” year of getting folks signed off…but if there is enough terrain open and with a social event on the calendar this weekend, it would be great to get as many of us signed off as we can.
