When it comes to skiing, early lessons usually focus more on teaching new students how to stop than

VOICE-OVER SCRIPT:
BEGINNING SKIIERS ARE USUALLY TAUGHT HOW TO STOP RATHER THAN HOW TO GO...
...BUT THAT'S QUICKLY CHANGING THANKS TO A NEW APPROACH CALLED TERRAIN-BASED LEARNING.
SOUNDBITE (English) Dave Bartlett, ski instructor:
We used to try to put people in comfort by giving them a breaking wedge, but we're kind of resisting the forces we're working with. Now, with the terrain-based learning, we're learning more quickly how to be comfortable and how to shape those forces and not be resistant, but just kind of going with the flow.
LESSONS TAKE PLACE ON SPECIALLY-DESIGNED 'ZONES' AND TEACH STUDENTS TO USE NATURAL FEATURES LIKE BANKS AND BUMPS TO MAKE TURNS AND CONTROL THEIR SPEED.
WHEN THEY MASTER ONE FEATURE, THEY MOVE ON TO THE NEXT.
SOUNDBITE (English) Dave Bartlett, ski instructor:
It's just a very moderate progression, and every skill builds on each element.
WHILE THIS MAY NOT GET YOU ON THE OLYMPIC SLOPES IN TIME FOR SOCHI, STUDENTS SAY THE APPROACH MAKES LEARNING MORE FUN.
SOUNDBITE (English) Allison Willette, skiier:
I've taken lessons maybe three times in my life. I've never been a big skier. I've always been kind of intimidated by it. Yesterday was probably the first day that I enjoyed it.
THE COST OF BUILDING AND MAINTAINING THESE RUNS IS HIGH...BUT SKI RESORTS ARE HOPING THE STUDENT-FRIENDLY APPROACH WILL GET PEOPLE TO COME BACK.
ONE RESORT SAYS IT SAW ITS RATE OF RETURN VISITS JUMP FROM 17 TO 65 PERCENT AFTER INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM.
TRAINING FOR THE NEXT CROP OF OLYMPIC ATHLETES ALREADY UNDERWAY.

Illinois Peak Skiing June 2016

Went and checked out a new area near the Idaho border. It was steep. So steep that Porter the dog said no way and bailed. Happy Father's Day. So fortunate that my dad taught me how to ski.
