The seminar is about 1 hour long.&nbsp;&nbsp; There will be time for answering questions also. If you want to post some questions in advance, you are welcome to do so in the registration form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speakers\u2019 Notes<\/strong>:&nbsp; Lilian is an avid ski instructor and coach with over 55 years of experience in skiing and snowboarding and Mark is an experienced snowboard instructor and examiner.&nbsp; They are both still actively teaching skiing and snowboarding with the High Park Ski Club in Toronto.&nbsp; During the presentation they will go through the basics of the ski\/snowboard equipment and clothing necessary for an enjoyable experience for the downhill snow sports.&nbsp;&nbsp; They will also emphasize safety precautions, etiquettes and code of conduct on the hill, as well as the skills required to enjoy snow sport in Canada. &nbsp;They will note the importance of taking proper ski lessons right from the beginning from CSIA (Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance) and CASI (Canadian Alliance of Snowboard Instructors) certified instructors who can be found in all Ontario Ski Resorts. Downhill snow sports, being fast moving sports, have some inherent risk for potential injuries, but taking lessons right off the bat will greatly minimize the risk.&nbsp; The participants can enjoy the thrill of skiing right from the start if taught the proper skills needed to deal with the physics of this fast moving sport. &nbsp;They will also briefly mention the various resorts that are close by. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy the upcoming Winter in Canada!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There will be a Q &amp; A session after the presentation.&nbsp; Please post your questions during your registration.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: November 6, 2024 (Wednesday)Time: 8:00pm-9:00pmFormat: Zoom Online Registration: https:\/\/forms.gle\/wCZ8ax4aWuVbWjf27 Deadline: November 5, 2024 (Tuesday)Language: EnglishCost: FreePresenters: &nbsp;Lilian Ma and Mark Spraggett The fall is upon us and pretty soon old man winter will be returning to Ontario.
