Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to ski, as part of a group, on intermediate cross country terrain.Intermediate cross country terrain is defined as predominantly hilly with a number of steep pitches. The descent sections may include moderate bends that require the skier to actively change direction. Skiing can be completed off track or on groomed trails, usually nominated in trail ratings as “more difficult”. When using Australian cross country trail maps these trails will be marked as blue and some red trails.It applies to leaders, guides or instructors who use these skills when leading participants during ski tour activities. Leadership skills are provided in complementary units.This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
