Introduction

After TeleSchool [1] on January 15, you may want another lesson or two for more feedback and tips/cues/drills.

Phil Hammer (EOS: phammer@eos.ubc.ca ) is a CANSI Level 2 telemark instructor and is offering free* tele lessons to help out the VOC (and to get more teaching experience).

Rachel Baldwin (CANSI Level 1; rachel.baldwin02@gmail.com) will help out too.

If we end up with too many people or groups that are too diverse in ability, Laurent Mingo (another ex-UBC CANSI Level 2 instructor) may also participate.

Many drills we will do, even if they are basic, are very useful for skiers of all abilities. Even elite ski racers will go back to the basics and relook at 'simple' things like their stance, or the timing of initiating turns. I've found that some of the drills/cues I've been shown for teaching beginners are things that I now use when I'm playing with technique. So... it's fine to have people of different abilities within the same lesson group - the point of the lessons isn't to go fast, but to concentrate on technique. Obviously, it can become a problem when the range is toooo great so that the group can't move quite fast enough to keep the higher level people from waiting too much when we are just skiing. We'll try to avoid that situation if we can.

Costs

The group would pay for: instructor's lift ticket (or part of it...), your own lift ticket, gas for your driver

Gear

You will need functional telemark skis, ski poles, and ski boots. Gear is available to rent from the club room, or from Mountain Equipment Co-op.
