Snowboard

We had a great weekend at Howelsen Hill, hosting a USASA level 100 clinic. Nichole Mason from U.S. Ski & Snowboarding was the lead clinician. We had a total of 13 attendees with 12 of them SSWSC coaches. Saturday consisted of the in class portion with topics including movement analysis, coach roles, learning styles and technical coaching terms/tools.

Sunday was spent mostly on hill with coaches leading and teaching a skill using all the materials learned the day before. The coaches were given feedback and tested. All attendees passed and are now certified coaches. We are pleased to announce ALL SSWSC Snowboard coaches are certified! First time ever! Thank you to Fairview Commercial Lending and their generous donation, we couldn’t have done it without them!
