Approximate outline of Daily Schedule: (subject to change based on content needs) Day 1: 9:00-12:00 & 1:00-4:00 (Instruction Day) Day 2: 9:00-12:00 (Instruction) & 1:00-4:00 (Shadow) Day 3: 9:00-12:00 (Instruction) & 1:00-4:00 (Shadow) + Certification Ceremony Waiver information: Please use the link provided below to access and sign Solitude’s waiver\, which is embedded in the registration ticket.  This MUST be done in order to participate: Solitude WAIVER Participant Requirements:  Age: 16-18 Ability Level: Must meet a minimum of Beginner Level to participate in program – Must be comfortable loading/unloading lift prior to program. Must be able to consistently control speed and turns on Green Terrain. Able to come to a complete stop on green terrain. Junior Instructor Certificate E-Learning Course: Participants will need to complete the required E-Learning courses prior to the on-snow learning section. (3 Courses\, 3 estimated hours). We ask that YSA facilitates this outside of the Ski and Ride School\, however they would like. I think it’s reasonable for students to be assigned this course work 1-2 weeks prior and tasked to work on it in their own time\, sending confirmation of completion to YSA to be tracked. If it’s needed\, I’m happy to write an outline or record a video giving instruction on how to navigate the website and which courses to complete for guidance that participants can be sent. Letter of Intent: Participants will need a letter of intent prior to the program start. Ceremony: Students who have completed all the required materials will receive a certificate of completion\, and a JR Instructor Certification Pin. \nTaking Part In This Program: \n\nMakes you a better skier or snowboarder\nConnects you with others who share your snowsports passion\nHelps you develop important career and life skills\, such as: Communication\, Dedication\, Discipline\, Independence\, Instruction\, Leadership\, Group management\, Professionalism\, Public speaking\nGives you a solid foundation of skills to help you work in the snowsports industry during and after high school.\n\nProgram Requirements \n\nParticipate in 2 hours of classroom learning including three online learning units.\nComplete a 12-hour training course on snow at a local resort. Lift tickets will be provided for on snow sessions.\nShadow 6 hours of lessons at the resort’s ski and ride school.\nDemonstrate a minimum sliding ability in 2 areas: 1) Must show the ability to safely ski or ride in a group on blue terrain. 2) Must have the ability to maneuver safely in a learning area and around all surface lifts or up/down hills and trails.\nComplete the course portfolio and have it signed by a snowsports supervisor.\nWrite and submit a letter of intent that describes why you want to become a snowsports instructor.
