4 – RJ & SS Judges
If you are interested in becoming a judge for Rail Jam and Slopestyle, please let me know. We will be holding virtual classes in October.
5 – For Coaches – Coach Education Updates –
Coaches education requirements and all compliances will be tracked under a single data base with US Ski & Snowboard. Having a single use instance for all education in the US simplifies and reduces complexity to ensure compliance standards are accurately represented. In addition they will launch the Sport Education Academy, and with it, a new online learning platform. We will share more info once it is available.
All coach on snow assessments will be coordinated directly through US Ski & Snowboard with our support. Existing certifications and relative coaching experience will be recognized and incorporated into the new certification structure.

I think that is it for now. Looking forward to seeing you all soon and please reach out if you have any questions.
