My son has Aspergers and dealing with a meltdown underneath the lift can be so humiliating. I just tell myself that they just don't know the situation and leave it at that. Thanks for sharing this!

]]> Comment on Why are so many failing the Level 3 Exams? by James http://skiproontario.com/?p=405&cpage=1#comment-168 James Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:19:00 +0000 http://skiproontario.com/?p=405#comment-168 I have only just read this and agree that your comments are a valuable approach to take in any learning situation. As an ex school teacher and recently qualified level 1 improvement and progress to be valid and long lasting needs to be looked at in the context of the situation. Without reinforcement, repetition and flexibility in varying doses solid and long lasting development will not take place.

Thank you for sharing this.

The raw truth is always hard to swallow but I think that if any current Level III looked back at what they did to achieve that level they would see that this is the winning formula. Of course it applies even more for those struggling with achieving the Level IV. Really well put, Sandy.

I saw the light and I preached the gospel from that day onward, he made me a believer.<br><br>I think that he adopted his name from one of the Nordica boots that was called Turbo at the time as it had a huge adjustment knob on the back. I will not forgive him however for pitching their rear entry boots - a dark day in ski equipment...ahh the Trident or the problems we had with the Look bindings with the brakes integrated near the toe which we could never get to function test well.
