The illustrated manual contains instructions for teaching blind and partially sighted students to ski. It is noted that blind students should be coached, instructed, and encouraged in the same manner as sighted students although additional safety precautions should be employed. Psychological implications for the blind student learning to ski are given to include building confidence through mastery of graduated experiences and imagining various positions and terrains. Instructors are advised to allow students to feel all parts of the ski while learning nomenclature, to converse with students prior to instruction, to begin slowly and never forget safety, to stay close to the student, and to provide a marker for the student to wear to caution other skiers. It is suggested that instructors lead the partially sighted and follow the blind, alert students when to unload from a Poma lift, take certain positions to aid students in riding the chair lift, and ski backwards holding student's ski tips for teaching wedged turns. Suggested for training instructors to teach the blind is blocking vision of one instructor, who then follows directions of another instructor. (MC)
