2007-2008 PDP Schedule

Hello fellow CSIA Ontario Members & welcome to another season!

The PDP is a half day update taught by active Level 4 Course Conductor’s and is part of the annual dues you pay every year – not participating means that you are not taking advantage of a service that you are already paying for – it would be like paying for a seasons pass at your favorite ski area and never picking it up! Also – to keep your CSIA membership current, you need to attend a PDP at least once every three years.

PROVIDED YOU HAVE PAID YOUR ANNUAL DUES, YOU ARE ENTILTLED TO ONE PDP SESSION EVERY SEASON!

Attending a PDP is a great way to accomplish the following:

  • GET CLEAR DIRECTION ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SKIING
  • BRUSH UP ON THE LATEST TEACHING TECHNIQUES
  • PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT CERTIFICATION LEVEL
  • MEET NEW PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS
  • SPEND A FUN SESSION ON THE SNOW WITH SOME OF THE CSIA’s BEST COURSE CONDUCTORS

Every Ski School has PDP sessions scheduled for their instructors to attend, so check with your Ski School Director to find out when the session(s) are taking place at your ski area. If you can’t attend the PDP’s scheduled at your home ski area or are not currently involved with a Ski School, there several “Non-Affiliated” sessions available (see below) that you can attend. To register, all you have to do is e-mail me or call me at least two weeks prior to the session you’d like to attend.

I hope to see you at a PDP session this year, and hope you have an excellent ski season!
