How does your ski & ride school sort students when forming classes?
Typically the kind of turns being made is at the heart of lessons. Well, that, and immeasurable fun, too!
Smartful Skill Group signs identify the focus of each class quickly and clearly. “Never Evers” are easy to sort out, but after that, each ski & ride school has its own criteria for advancement. What are yours?
Rectangular rigid .04 aluminum signs are perfect alternatives to the larger teardrop flags.
18" x 36" ($145 each). Other sizes available upon request.
9-foot teardrop flags ($490 each) are easily spotted and understood from a distance. Printed both sides.
Custom options are always available.
Also available as hanging banners.
24" x 48" $70 each
18" x 36" $50 each

carpet area CAN YOU?
These CAN YOU signs act as friendly on site reminders to both new learners and new instructors that a few skills are essential before leaving the gentle terrain of a carpet area and heading up a lift to experience steeper terrain and a bigger play area.
CAN YOU signs are printed on winter weather-safe 2mm Sintra.
We can ship them with predrilled holes in the upper right and left corner areas for easy mounting in outdoor areas.
Watch for alternate versions of these three, as well as additions of a few other learning area outcomes that new enthusiasts need to own before hitting bigger hills!
Sorting things out
Getting classes quickly and accurately sorted out is a vital part of improving beginner conversion statistics, let alone a sanity saver for instructors and supervisors, alike.
As a fellow PSIA-AASI nerd, former staff trainer, and award-winning visual communicator (that's fancy speak for illustrator/designer) I would love to help your school figure out how to most effectively tame the sorting beast.
Only Hogwarts has a magical hat to do that.
Cheers,

2. Speed control through turn shape.
PAGE 2: Intermediate / Advanced
3. Steering the legs independent of the upper body (NOTE: Little kiddos cannot do this well, so don't expect it.
4. Tip then twist at the top of the turn.
