The NZSIA FUNdamentals is a national framework and educational resource for children’s skiing and snowboarding in New Zealand. The Fundamentals provides resources to snow sports schools and instructors to help in the delivery of their children’s programmes. The aim is to have a consistent skiing and snowboarding development pathway for children to follow throughout the country. The progressions are based on NZSIA/SBINZ teaching concepts. There are six cards or stages for the children progress through which develop balance, movement, and performance skills in a variety of terrain and situations around the mountain. The FUNdamentals also provides resources to parents and children to help prepare and inspire them for their time in the snow.
