The Olympic opening ceremony is amazing. The tour of Paris and Lady Gaga singing in French who knew! The dancers in the rain! I want the playlist.

Day 1 of 2023 Interski with myself and PSIA/AASI member Erika Meier

Getting a purpose is to see how other countries teach how to slide on snow. We go in multinational groups with one country presenting but then we get to discuss in English and sometimes German with other delegates about the nuances I. Our approaches to different topics.

Had the privilege to explore:

Australian beginning parallel - t is about the use of the arch. Well the Irish love their rotary movements.

Approach to a national consistent program for teaching children snow sports. -Finland. Great ideas to bring back for discussion.

An introduction to the Croatian teaching system and how they group content by different skill sets.

And along the way I need some new friends.
