Senior S&T FAQs

What is expected of me if I sign up?

The commitment is 2 days / week beginning in early January through February – approx 8 weeks. Although the schedule is not complete, in the past we have met Thursday nights 6:30-9 and either Saturday or Sunday morning from 9-12.

What do the classes consist of?

The S&T Trainer Evaluators (TEs) work with everyone on patroller skills, skiing skills, and sled handling.

We don’t make you better skiers and sled handlers – YOU do!

Sleds in Bumps – is that all we do?

It’s definitely the most fun! Working sleds through moguls is challenging, both physically and…physically. Learning to finesse a sled down a bump run will enhance your sled handling skills and confidence on all terrain.

However, we work just as hard on Skiing Skills – Short, Medium, Long Radius turns – as well as Patroller Skills – Sideslip, Wedge, and Transitions.

When can I sign up?

You can take SR S&T at any point during your progression toward your Senior certification or, if you aren’t working toward becoming a Senior patroller and would just like to work on your skiing and sled skills – come on along!

Is there a cost for the course?

Yes there is, but it’s rather nominal. A $50 course registration fee is due with your registration form. Add in the 14-16 classes across the region at different mountains (your pass is comp’d for each class) and that course fee is a great bargain!

What if I have other questions not answered here?
