Feb 23-25	Join D-Team Members Bill Bowness for One, Two, or Three Days of Adaptive Learning	Red Lodge	$45/day Members $65/day Non-Members
	Your clinician for the three days is Bill Bowness. In 2004, Bill was awarded the first-ever adaptive slot on the PSIA National Alpine Team, promptly earning the respect of fellow team members for his ability to instruct able-bodied alpine skiers of all levels just as well as adaptive skiers. To quote from one of his ski tips, “The similarities between the skiing techniques of a sit-down mono skier and his or her stand-up peer are more numerous than the differences.” Now Bill has become the first coach of the new PSIA Adaptive Team for 2008 to 2012. Bill has traveled the world as a silver and bronze medal-winning Paralympic athlete and an adaptive ski clinician in Korea and Spain. Currently technical director at Disabled Sports-Far West (formally Tahoe Adaptive Ski School), he also owns and operates “Unlimited Skiing” water ski school. Group size is limited to 10 – sign up early to reserve a place. Preference will be given to PSIA members.

Basic physics, the teaching system, skiing milestones and on hill safety are explored. Afternoon “Make the ATS to adaptive connection.” Explore the common ground between teaching the adaptive student and the non-adaptive student.
	Day 3: Morning Movement Analysis: Exploring movement analysis as the basis for lesson development.
