Course Description

This course will refine some of the basic snowboarding skills learned in the Snowboarding Level 1 course. Students will be taught how to link beginning turns with rhythm and control on intermediate and beginning advanced terrain. This course stresses safe boarding with improvement in skill applications. The variables of weather and snow conditions will also be addressed. This class will take place over 4 different days. Students will be responsible for their own travel to/from local resort, their own equipment as well as full-day lift tickets. ADVISORY: KIN A142. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Execute proper transitioning from heel to toe during downhill turns.
2. Demonstrate the ability to self-analyze errors while linking turns.

Course Objectives

• 1. Improve physical conditioning and develop a skill for lifelong health and wellness
• 2. Demonstrate linked turns without a traverse
• 3. Demonstrate flexion/extension movements in the ankles, knees, and hips
• 4. Demonstrate pressure distribution through leg and foot actions
• 5. Demonstrate crossover of center of mass in a turn
