in Teaching Others To Ski The Ski Instructor Group involved over fifty Cadets teaching others how to ski. The instruction covered all stages of skiing from the gliding wedge to racing. Heavy snowfall made the program a success for the 200 students who participated. Ca- det training involved a four day trip to Stowe, Vermont, and a one day trip to Windham, NY, where profes- sional ski instructors taught teach- ing techniques. A number of Cadet ski instructors also helped instruct DPE ski classes. I TOP LEFT: John Marriott teaches a young- ster the snow plow technique. TOP RIGHT: Rob Chapman instructs three youngsters.
