Show Park City Teaching Me tho d V'i' 't . V A,. " "'4 "J A l, AM r V ;H f;' J Park City, Utah..The Park City Teaching Method combines com-bines teaching approaches unique to the Park City Ski School with the best features of both the American Teaching Teach-ing Method (ATM) and the Graduated Length Method (GLM). The American Teaching Method is used almost universally in the United States as a way to teach students to ski with linked turns in a very short period of time. The Graduated Graduat-ed Length Method starts students on short skis to make -turning easier. Every lesson caught by the Park City Ski School, from Beginning Begin-ning Group Lessons to the most Advanced Private Lesson, Les-son, is taught according to the Park City Teaching Method. One of the most important elements in this method is innovation. Led by Duane Vigos, the Ski School embraces em-braces new and useful ideas in ski teaching and incorporates incorpo-rates them into everyday lessons. One of the newest innovations of the Park City Ski School is the use of cross-country skis in teaching teach-ing downhill skiing (in selected classes). So, if you are aware of the newest ski teaching approaches, don't be surprised to encounter them in your next Park City Ski School lesson. Another important element ele-ment in the Park City Teaching Method is the Mountain. With its broad, open meadows, gentle terrain ter-rain and its dazzling variety of runs-of almost every pitch from the gentlest to the steepest-Park City's Mountain Moun-tain allows lessons that are . always taught on terrain that is perfect. A third element is the world-famous Utah snow. If there is a single word to describe the snow that covers the Mountain at Park City, the word is "forgiving". "for-giving". It is snow that gives you confidence and the courage to try something new and difficult. A final and most important element in the Park City Method is the corps of instructors who know that taking a ski lesson should be the high point of any ski trip. Professional and dedicated, these instructors operate with the philosophy that learning to ski should be both quick, safe, and fun. One-on-one ski instruction is part of the special technique at Park City Resort. |
