Open to anyone interested in learning more about adaptive snowsports instruction. The Ski Spectacular Instructor Academy is endorsed by PSIA-AASI.

Programs are offered for all disciplines and levels.
2023 Curriculum
*Please note that curriculum is subject to changes.
New in 2023!
In response to recent demand, the Ski Spec Instructor Academy will offer several new session options through a pilot program. Each day, there will be a few spaces available for instructors to shadow/audit lessons real-time to improve skills in designated adaptive disciplines and gain authentic experience in those adaptive disciplines. These sessions may be selected in the general registration pathway for Ski Spec Instructor Academy (continuing education) participants. Please note that because this program is being piloted, each individual will be limited to 2 sign-ups with these lesson audits/observations.
To ensure a safe and productive learning environment for all, clinics have specific pre-requisite skill requirements. Prior to registering for clinics, please note the course levels and ensure you meet the pre-requisite skill levels in the descriptors. Clinicians may dismiss an attendee if they are not able to demonstrate the minimum skills required for the course.
