“To do great things is difficult; but to command great things is more difficult” Jerry Berg
and they were great friends. With his little girl, he knew Natalie’s potential and always helped her become more aware of it. He always used to tell her that she “had the world by its tails” and he believed it. He would tease her endlessly, always with love. For Ian, his little buddy, he couldn’t shake his shadow. Jerry took Ian under his wing and always appreciated moments to teach Ian something new. These teaching moments were where their relationship fostered. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and will be greatly missed.
J
erry Berg “Bergie” was a man who did both. It is with a heavy heart, I share with you that Rocky Mountain and the ski industry lost an icon on June 4th 2012. There are no words to describe the many and lasting contributions Bergie made to our organization and this industry. Bergie was a friend and mentor to so many. There isn’t anyone reading this that knew him and doesn’t have a story about him. Bergie was a 30+ year member of our Education Staff, Alpine Committee Chair, National Demo Team member and lead trainer at every resort he set skis on. Jerry was born on Oct. 23, 1950, and was raised in Auburn, Indiana. He later met Krista at a small Midwestern ski hill and they married and had two children. A natural athlete, Jerry excelled in all chosen sports over his lifetime. He found his true passion in downhill skiing and moved with his family from Wisconsin to Colorado in the early 1970s to become a Vail ski instructor. In 1989, Jerry moved to Aspen and would live there for about 10 years working as the director of training of the Ski & Snowboard Schools of Aspen. His expertise in skiing was an avenue for him to meet so many of his friends and colleagues and it took him around the world to China, Japan, Australia, France, Austria and Italy. He also lived in Crested Butte for a short time before returning to the Vail Valley and married his wife, Dina, and was currently residing in Minturn with his family. Passionate was often a word used to describe Jerry. He was the consummate “tinkerer,” restoring cruiser bikes, sports cars and even houses. He was a visionary, gifted with the talent and skill to create whatever he imagined with his own hands. He always created a “home” with thoughtful touches for every family member, a place for everyone to feel comfortable, including his own zone — the garage. Jerry loved the outdoors, from
2
the northern lakes of Wisconsin to the plains of Indiana to the Rocky Mountains. He celebrated them through hunting, fishing, camping, cycling and of course, skiing. He was so many things to so many people — a husband, a father, a mentor, a coach and a friend. He was very invested in everyone he knew. He was an honest friend — always blunt, yet charming. He had an ability to irritate yet motivate, inspiring one to do better than they knew they could. He was a friend to all ages. A kid at heart, he was able to relate to children on their level, having fun while setting boundaries and creating structure. He is survived by his adoring wife Dina, brother Michael, and his loving children Jessica and Kiffor. He also leaves behind stepchildren Natalie and Ian, and grandchildren Malcolm and Augusta. Jerry and Dina were soul mates, their story started 25 years ago and their marriage in 2009 brought together the family members that became the family that Jerry always wanted. He and his eldest daughter, Jessica, shared a great relationship — he was a friend, a coach and a father. He taught her how to not only enjoy the view around her but to step into it and experience it. To his son Kiffor, Jerry was his hero. Kiffor always emulated him. They were constant competitors chasing each other up passes on their bikes or down the hill on their skis, each one taking a turn at being the champ. They were father and son

Jerry Byrd
t is with great sorrow that I let you all know that Jerry Byrd has unexpectedly passed away. Jerry was a long time bicyclist and he and his wife were on a trip in Arizona doing exactly that. He apparently died of a heart attack in his sleep. For those of you who didn’t know Jerry, he was the ski school director from the late 1980’s through the 2003 season at Pajarito. Jerry was one of the nicest and most caring guys on the face of the earth. We were fortunate enough to see him up skiing several times this past season. He will be greatly missed. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. A PSIA-RM/AASI SUMMER 2012

Why Would I Tele? By Jim Shaw
I
first telemark skied about 30 years ago. A friend of mine thought it was pretty cool. Coincidentally he had a pair of skis and boots (more like shoes) to sell (go figure?). They looked pretty much like cross country skis to me. The only real difference was the metal edges and a plastic thing on the back called a heel locator. I tried lift accessed telemark a few times. It seemed pretty much like a better way to slide down the hill and fall down a lot. Telemark is stupid. As I’m sure many of you know, telemark skiing has been around longer than alpine skiing or snowboarding. There seem to be many references as to when telemark skiing was first officially introduced as a “technique” but it seems that the movements and concept has probably been around for hundreds of years. At some point it became obvious that if a skier’s heels were locked down there was a significant increase in control when sliding down a hill. In addition, if there is no need to walk up the hill there is no need for flexible soles in the boots. Alpine skiing seems to make sense. Why would a skier choose to lift access a ski area and then slide down on a pair of skis and boots that would provide less control? Again, telemark is stupid. In fairness, telemark still has (had) a significant place in the skiing world. Most of the snow covered mountains in the world are not lift accessed. Telemark equipment still has (had) the advantage for traveling uphill and over the snow to gain access to those remote backcountry paradises. Randonee gear (randonee; French for can’t tele) took some time to catch up with the alpine skiing discipline. Nowadays randonee or AT gear (AT; almost tele) has improved significantly. It’s almost common to see skiers with AT setups at lift accessed resorts even though those skiers will not be traveling uphill at all on that day. Some telemark bindings now come with releasable hinge mechanisms that allow for easier uphill travel in effort to “keep up” with AT gear. If a skier can travel uphill on AT/alpine equipment as easily as on telemark equipment and have more control on the slide down why would he or she 4
choose to telemark? Again, telemark is stupid. After my introduction to telemark skiing 30+ years ago I re-entered the sport. (I think I lost a bet). The equipment had changed significantly. Stiffer, higher, plastic boots had been introduced. The skis looked the same as alpine skis. Even the leather boots that people were telemarking in often had plastic parts attached or plastic parts hidden inside in an effort to conceal telemark skiing’s inevitable connection to the downhill/alpine skiing world. Telemark skiing was becoming a lift accessed, resort based discipline. In fact, many telemark skiers have never used their equipment for backcountry travel. They are strictly lift accessed tele skiers who have chosen to slide down the hill with their heels free in their “Almost Alpine” (AA?) gear. So again… As I telemark ski and watch and listen to telemark skiers I wonder why. Why telemark ski if “telemark is…”. It seems many skiers took it up as simply a challenge. It was a way to make the mountain a bigger place. Some like tele skiing for the physical effort that is required when their heels are free. Some skiers seem to like it because the boots are more
comfortable and easier to walk in. Some snowboarders try telemarking as a way to try skiing without having to “Alpine”. A surprising number take up telemarking while teaching their children to ski as a way to keep skiing interesting while on the beginner slopes. I will admit to telemarking for all of these reasons. It is fun to ski on tele gear with the “Alpinos” and keep up knowing that you are equipment challenged. But none of these reasons are what keep me telemarking. I telemark for the grace and beauty of telemark skiing. There is an increase in the range of motion that I can experience and a corresponding increase in the softness and flow I experience. Contrary to what I commonly hear expressed, telemark skiing is easier on my knees and joints (more tiring on my muscles). The increased range of motion often averts the inevitable jarring I feel with locked down heels. I tele ski for the sheer enjoyment of telemark skiing, in and of itself and not as an alternative to anything. Although I love the sticker that I have proudly worn on my helmet telemarking is not stupid. Telemarking is beautiful! A PSIA-RM/AASI SUMMER 2012
Critical Pedagogy By Michael Blanton
W
e all remember those teachers that would go through educational material asking us to highlight and study certain information that would ultimately be on the test. Some of them had such a monotone delivery that just thinking about them puts me to sleep. For them it was merely about us retaining information long enough to pass the tests. The Bath-Tub theory - memorize seemingly useless information long enough to regurgitate it, then pull the plug and let it all run out. Hopefully some of us also remember the teachers that gave purpose to the education and stimulated our understanding with practical application. For me it was Mr. Pixler, he was my Sociology teacher. As with any class we would cover base information for testing purposes. Memorizing the material would help us to pass tests and get good grades. The information we were accountable for was standard in every high school, as was how we were tested. Mr. Pixler made it a point to take things further. He is a very intelligent man in the ways of connecting textbook information to the “real life” application. Under his guidance we performed case studies within our own school. Asch conformity experiments really stick out in my mind - it was amazing. I created an understanding of the concepts by being a part of the process. There is a Chinese proverb that goes like this - I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand. Mr. Pixler let us know what information we were accountable for, and at the same time lead us to support our own hypotheses based on the nuances and subtleties of any given situation. Long story boring, he is the only teacher that I actually remember what he did and how he did it, all the rest have faded in the memory banks. Mr. Pixler is just one of my teaching heroes, I found more. I started teaching at Nub’s Nob in northern Michigan and ran into Scott Stillings, Telluride with Randy Price and Jeff Patterson when I started with AASI-RM. All of these guys had a great way
of bringing textbook information to life. They didn’t always want textbook answers, and if they did, they wanted to know the reasoning behind the answers. These are my heroes and I do my best to emulate them. Our brain is tasked with many operations minute by minute. On top of it all our subconscious assigns priority to information within our memory. We remember things because they are relevant and crucial to our well being, or success. Like Homer Simpson says “I have to forget some stuff, to remember some stuff.” For me it is algebra, never really used it, never really had to. The certification curriculum within PSIA/ AASI can be very much the same. Some people never teach groups yet they are accountable for class handling and group teaching scenarios. From an educators’ point of view I have to understand this and address the necessity within a certification that requires accountability of that content. I know the “Bath-Tub” could be filling up, only to be emptied after the test. This is when I feel the impact of my heroes - for me to bring relevance to the material as opposed to helping someone memorize material and “pass a test”. Seasoned instructors get frustrated when they go to exams and are not successful with exhibiting the standard. They know and use many of the concepts, but may not refer to them or recognize them as particular models that we use. Our models are limited, and your experiences are not. As Jason Schetrompf wrote about in the last 32 degrees - we need to think beyond the models with a contemporary and practical application. We have to do it to understand, but we also have to understand a base level of information to know that what we are doing is appropriate and hopefully exceptional. A

Adaptive Skiing or riding anyone? Don’t you teach snow sports already? Barbara Szwebel Adaptive Co-Chair
M
ost of us take our winter sports for granted. After all that’s why many of us teach them. Granted last winter the snow was not as plentiful, but we still got in some good turns and even the very occasional powder day. For some of our clients that is often not quite that easy, especially if they used to ski or ride, until one day they had an accident, lost a limb, their sense of balance or the voluntary use of part of their body. As instructors we sometimes see people like these out on the mountain and say “Wow that’s great. How can I get involved in teaching that?” We might even ask “How can I help”, but then everyday life gets in the way, until it happens to someone we know. Take that first step and get involved. Yes, some of the equipment can look a bit intimidating, but it is still sliding on the snow. The way to get involved is one step at a time. If you already know the basics of teaching skiing, choose one specific area you would like to work with, such as someone who has lost the use of a limb, but has no cognitive limitations and can still walk around or children 8
who need one on one attention. If you ride, join the Adaptive SB ITC which will give you a great overview. One of the reasons the adaptive certifications are segmented into three distinct groups, is to allow instructors to focus on a few challenges at a time. Yes by the time you get to level 2 or 3 certification we expect you to know more about everything, equipment, teaching, Movement analysis, disabilities and medications, but not right away. Another great way to start is to join us in Breckenridge at the “National Adaptive Academy” which takes place every December, this year from the 3rd-7th. See great teachers in action with over 50 different students in the “Learn to Ski” portion of the “Ski-Spectacular” and join over 120 adaptive instructors from all over the US in the “Continuing Education” Program. Pick a few ½ day or full day clinics addressing your special interests and start expanding your horizons. Yes, you will have to do a little research ahead of time, in order to determine which of the over 50 different clinics you want to choose, but summer might be just the time to
do that. Check out the “Adaptive Snowboard Guide”, now in a revamped version on the National website: http://www.thesnowpros. org/index.php/PSIA-AASI/ snow-day/adaptive/adaptive-education-resources/ or go to the RM website, click Education Materials, Adaptive and browse all the good stuff there: http:// www.psia-rm.org/ed_materials/Adaptive/Adaptive%20Educational% 20Materials/3-Track_4-Track_Adaptive_ Exam_Guide_10-11.pdf I would start with the Adaptive “Exam Guides” either: 3-Track and 4-Track, Mono-Ski, Bi-Ski, Cognitive Disabilities or Visual Impairments. Then check out the “Adaptive Encyclopedia” at the bottom of the page to find descriptions of the disabilities, equipment and other references. Of course if you slide in Aspen, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Eldora, Crested Butte, Keystone, Vail, Winter Park or Telluride you might be able to join the adaptive programs there in their training, but don’t wait until next March. Check it out, get involved and make a plan now!!! A PSIA-RM/AASI SUMMER 2012
