Hearing a lot of interesting thoughts about PSIC. I want some confirmation before I post anything.
Ive heard a lot of things too. Not all bad either. A friend is doing a coaching course in January. Will see what he saysHearing a lot of interesting thoughts about PSIC. I want some confirmation before I post anything.
CSIA has had some talk about a freestyle pathway; would love to see a freeride option develop as well. Starting point will be more diversity of skiing background on the TEC committee (i.e. not all racers).More on PSIC’s “Big Mountain Pathway” … they’re partnering with Derek Froose (perennial instructor for Whistler’s Extremely Canadian program, founder and head coach of the Whistler Freeride Club, and key figure behind the Freeride World Tour). I was skeptical about PSIC before but this is a huge deal, especially in the hearts and minds of the new generation of skiers.
I've decided not to go for my Level 3 because the examiners I've trained with have opinions of skiing that are contrary to those that I hold. For example, last week the trainer talked about trying to have equal pressure throughout the entire turn, which is obviously impossible.
To be correct, it isn't pressure, but rather force. What the examiner/trainer suggested was that one should attempt to keep the force constant through all stages of the turn, not allowing it to increase or decrease.Just curious, equal pressure of what?
As opposed to all at the finish makes sense to me .To be correct, it isn't pressure, but rather force. What the examiner/trainer suggested was that one should attempt to keep the force constant through all stages of the turn, not allowing it to increase or decrease.
