Achieving RMT certifies that a trainer is qualified by @psiarmaasi to lead instructor certification training in the Rocky Mountain Division, and is one of the stepping stones on the pathway to becoming an Examiner. . As an Examiner at the RMT we are evaluating peers and friends who we’ve seen develop over the years and who are already trainers at their home mountains.

First ride on the new Slingshot Infinity 76 wing and loving it. Wakefoiling is the coolest feeling this side of a 2’ powder day. Still so much to learn, but it so fun to just cruise in the wake and work on small adjustments to height, angles, and turning!

Napoleon Dynamite famously said you have to have skills, "You know, like nunchuck skills, bo hunting skills, computer hacking skills." The Learning Connection Model is the framework of PSIA-AASI's fundamentals, describing instruction skills through the lenses of Technical Skills, Teaching Skills, People Skills. Because guests want instructors who have great skills. This webinar is an introduction to the framework, shares how the LCM was presented at the 2019 Interski, and provides an understanding of how the LCM connects our other models to what we do as instructors.

Hydrofoil Wakesurfing

This is a shot from my first long ride wakefoiling without a rope a few weeks ago. After a few short rides where it started to come together, on this go it just happened. Last year we weren’t sure if we would ever get this wakefoil thing figured out to a degree that we could surf without the rope. This summer proved that perseverance in learning (through bruised thighs, sliced shins, and smashed toes) pays off. The feeling of surfing a hydrofoil on a wake is unreal, as seen in my expression of incredulity. This is the closest feeling you can get to riding 2’ of pow.

Teaching a Penguin Slide requires leading by example. Catch your toe edge and dive in headfirst. Actually, that pretty much sums up clinicing in China.
