The on-snow is a one-day event in which candidates review the benchmarks, gaining insight into movements, modifications, and underlying reasons behind them. Candidates will be assessed on their teaching and riding, including task demos.

The Central Senior Specialist 1 course encourages participants to apply the information included in the PSIA-NW Senior Specialist Manual, their professional knowledge, and an understanding of the fundamentals- in completing the workbook, prep webinar discussions, and during the on-snow portion.

The Central Senior Specialist On-Snow portion will add substance to the concepts and content introduced in the workbook and the Hybrid Webinar. The On-Snow portion will use real-time & hypothetical scenarios to apply standard exercises, modified in both their approach and execution relative to the senior student, and address how presentation framing & phrasing differs by the student; seniors are no exception.
