Show Instruction program gets heavy ski load by NICKCASHION Chronicle Staff The University has had a ski instruction program since the end of World War I. According to Prof. Mary Jo Reiter, director of the program for the last four years, the program has improved in quantity and quality every year. The key to success has been the ski instructors program, which trains students to instruct these classes. Last year 1150 students enrolled in ski instruction classes. This year that number should increase. "Last year we had to limit enrollment in classes, but this year we won't have to," said Miss Reiter. If the 128 instructors enrolled fall quarter come through, they should be able to handle the extra enrollment. Instructors are expected to be available two afternoons per week to teach classes at Alta, Brighton and Snowbird. In return they receive a nominal fee and a good discount on lift tickets. The ski instructors course during fall quarter consists of two weeks of classroom work and a lot of time-"out time-"out on the mountain." Trainees also receive practical teaching experience through the Deseret News ski program in the latter half of the quarter. The instructors program attracts prospects from all over the country-individually and m families. "I had a brother from Wisconsin last year," recalled Miss Reiter, "and his twin sisters came out this year." Some of the more advanced instructors m program have been teaching tor three years.
