These scenarios are common with beginner to intermediate skiers and equally common in a level II exam. In some cases they are looking for you to coach to a specific out come (Coach the skier to make turns in both directions) and some times you have description of a student and you need to figure out the goal of the lesson along with the lesson plan.
Your homework is to sketch out this lesson in whatever way (writing, drawing, talking..) works for you.
Skiers have never skied before. Can put on/off skis, side step, walk, turn-around and get up from fall. Coach Movements/Skills for next stage of development in skiing.
Skiers can straight run, wedge, speed up & slow down in a wedge on beginner terrain. Coach Movements/Skills to develop first direction changes while in a wedge.
Skiers can “match” skis after fall line on Green and Easy Blue terrain. Coach Movements/Skills that will develop “match” prior to fall line on same terrain.
Skier makes wedge turns comfortably on all green and moderate blue terrain. Coach movements and skills to bring skier to the next level.
Skier can vary the size of the wedge and stop and control speed using the wedge. Coach the skier to make turns in both directions.
Thirty-five year old woman who kayaks and hikes and loves the calm of nature hates the sound that her skis make when they scrape on ice. She’s an open track parallel skier balanced on her heels.
Ten year old girl rides horses, dances and does gymnastics. Gliding wedge skier who controls speed with the size of the wedge.
Fourteen year old girl who is a champion kick boxer. Open Track Parallel skier, skis in a “Hunched Position” most of the time.

Woman just returned to skiing after not having skied for several years, recently had a baby. Wants to ski with grace and style. Stems at the beginning of the turn, links parallel turns on green, but wants to advance to blue terrain
