@SaraJ, fancy a pre season course at Hintertux over a couple of weekends requiring no need for annual leave??

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@swskier, If we can get enough people interested there'll be one around the end of Nov. beginning of Dec. in Hintertux. Though it wouldn't be split over 2 weekends.

@boabski, Does your daughter have adaptive qualifications, or are the L1 and L2 both alpine?
I'm not sure about the job market in the UK for adaptive. I'm pretty certain that DSUK require their instructors to be adaptive qualified. However, there are several voluntary organisations who are happy to have people who can ski, who also have adaptive experience. Of course, in these cases it would be on a volunteer basis - think local groups meeting once a month for a few hours.

@Chris_n, I just read your post in the Bar about your son piloting a sit ski and was wondering if he would like to learn more.
I don't want to presume anything about your son... If he would like to learn more about teaching adaptive skiing we're running a course 14th-19th January in Hochfügen (not so far away from where you live! )
Give me a shout if you'd like more info.

Thanks for the offer but I believe he is going to do the module via the Tiroler Skilererverband as all of his qualifications are with them anyway. I will mention it but taking time out during the season is difficult as he is normally our top adult group instructor (especially when the group is very fast and needs a real challenge) or depending on dates may be with DSUK.
He did some work last year with a couple of instructors from Alpbach (there are quite a few that do this at one of the ski schools) when the DSUK group couldn't use Brit pilots due to Brexit. Perhaps the biggest difference yesterday and the rest of this week is the quality of the ski he is driving, it is like a Ferrari compared with the Fiats he drove last year.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I looked into that, but there were never any courses running. I did the Ausbildung von Instruktoren für Behindertenskilauf through the BSPA to see what they did differently from what I'd learnt. It's always interesting to see what tools and tricks people use.

In the UK you can sometimes volunteer with adaptive clubs without any training or qualifications as they often do some inhouse skills development and training and may or may not arrange a adaptive instructor course for you, I volunteer for a adaptive club, have no instructor qualifications (I am also adaptive myself), but I receive a lot of training and development through the club, for example I recently received training on tethered skiing through the club!
