   Our approach with the training course, Skills of the Expert Skier, is to build your skills over time with a series of sixteen online ski lessons. The ski lessons will show you what you need to do to take your downhill skiing to the level of an expert skier.

The lessons in the fall are geared to building strength, endurance, and flexibility in the ski-specific muscle groups, and establishing the right mind set.

The ski lessons in the winter teach you about all-terrain skiing in the moguls, trees, and steeps.

The ski lessons in the spring show you how to ski in varied snow conditions including powder, crud, and ice.
