Causes & risk factors Surgical amputation to treat malignancy or to remove tissue that no

longer has an adequate blood supply (especially due to diabetes)

Accident

Treatment & prognosis Prosthetics

Physical therapy

Blood thinners

Pain killers

Special considerations If student wears prosthesis, be sure it is secured properly to the limb to

avoid friction injuries or unwanted movement

If student’s prosthesis includes a hook, make sure it is covered to

prevent injury

May be hyper-sensitive to cold. Protect stump and watch for frostbite.

Falls can cause internal or external bleeding for those using a blood

thinner

Skiing stance: stacked Boarding stance: within reference alignment

DIRT = “How” Duration – the length of time a body movement or ski/board position exists (e.g., “full

body rotation through all three phases of the turn”).

Intensity – magnitude of a body movement or ski/board position (e.g., “highest edge

angle at the finishing phase of the turn”).

Rate – degree of speed at which a body movement or ski/board position occurs (e.g.,

“outside ski twists faster than inside ski to create a wedge”).

Timing – the sequential relation that one event has to another (e.g., “outside ski rotates

faster than inside ski”). Step 1: Describe the ski/board’s performance in a specific location of the turn. Step 2: Describe the body parts and their specific movements in that location of the turn that creates the ski/board’s performance. Step 3: Construct Cause & Effect Relationships and describe how they affect your guest’s balance/stance throughout turn.

Developing a lesson plan

The lesson plan should Be guest-centered Be realistic Be flexible Identify the single most important movement that will make your guest a more

effective skier/snowboarder Develop a progression that moves from static to simple to complex Focus on one skill pool at a time.

Your responsibility code

1. Always stay in control.

2. People ahead of you have the right of way.

3. Stop in a safe place for you and others.

4. Whenever starting downhill or merging, look uphill and yield.

5. Use devices to prevent runaway equipment.

6. Observe signs and warnings and keep off closed trails.

7. Know how to use the lifts safely.

Smart style

1. Start small – Work your way up. Build your skills

2. Make a plan – Every feature. Every time.

3. Always look – Before you drop.

4. Respect – The features and other users.

5. Take it easy – Know your limits. Land on your feet.

In case of emergency Ski patrol number:

Site coordinator name & number:

Program coordinator name & number:

1. After an accident, ask, “Are you okay?”

2. If there is an injury, IMMEDIATELY call Ski Patrol.

3. Keep the guest comfortable. Do NOT move the guest!

4. Notify the Site Coordinator ASAP. The Site Coordinator will notify the Program Coordinator

Chair lift procedures

Before you get to the lift Review load & unload procedures. Practice as needed outside of the lift line. Remove any equipment that may impede your lifting abilities or safety (e.g., fixed

riggers, or sometimes tethers) Know the lift sign language: keep it moving (finger moving in a circular motion);

slow down (thumb down); stop (cut sign across the throat) Know and be able to explain the evacuation procedure Know your lift and be sure your co-instructor and guest know:

Can it be slowed at the bottom and/or the top? Where do you wait in line? Where do you position yourself to get on the lift?

If a problem occurs Don’t panic Do not load or unload if you are not totally prepared Alert lift operator with any means possible (whistle, clap hands, yell, etc.)

Evacuation procedure Ski Patrol has the ultimate responsibility for evacuation; offer suggestions as needed.

Loading procedure 1. Ask lift operator for a slow down if your student needs it (and if the lift can

accommodate it). 2. Move to the load line and watch chair approach. 3. Count down and then sit or pull equipment up & back. 4. Make sure guest is seated as far back as possible. 5. Clip retention strap, if applicable. Co-instructor continues to hold on to guest or

equipment. 6. Lower bar.

Unloading procedure 1. During the lift ride, review what will happen during unload. Remind co-instructor to

hold onto guest or equipment while you unclip retention strap. 2. At appropriate distance (1-2 lift towers from top), unclip retention strap and hold

it in your hand or clip it to the equipment. 3. Lift bar as you near the unloading load zone. 4. Count down and then stand up or lift equipment off the chair. 5. Assist student as necessary to make a straight run off the chair and

then turn safely to a stop. 6. Adjust equipment as necessary so you may safely ski or

snowboard.
