Level III Ski Tasks come from the IDP (Instructor Development Pathway) available from the PSIA-C.org website. The tasks are isolated as "Highlighted, Blended, and Applied."
Find more information about the IDP & Alpine Level III Process on the Alpine Education Resource Page.
Highlighted Tasks are designed to isolate the skier's use of skills and application of the 5 fundamentals of alpine skiing. Individual Highlighted Tasks may be referenced in one or all highlighted fundamental categories (e.g., a candidate may not be required to participate in five tasks to receive 5 scores).
Blended Tasks are intended to represent skiing with equal application of skills- in other words, equal size circles within the customary Venn diagram depicting rotary, edging, pressure control. Blended tasks remain consistent for all LIII exams.
Applied Tasks require that the skier adjust their application of skills to suit the task at hand. Level III tasks may be modified from those available on the IDP to illustrate the skier's abilities in all conditions and terrain. Candidates should be aware that at LIII, no task is "off-limits."
The candidate will participate in a full-day interview, the morning session being the LIII Ski module, the afternoon LIII Teach Module (M.A. Tech is separate and online). The exam may be passed and taken in individual modules.
Certificates and Pins will be sent out after the event.
