Course Contents
Depending on the location, the courses run over four or five days. Typically, five-day courses begin at 7:30 am and conclude at noon, while four-day courses generally end at 1:00 pm. Beginning in 2008, selected courses have one day off in the middle of the course. At Whistler and Vail, lecture times are from 7:30 am until 9:30 am, and from 4:30 pm until 7:00 pm daily. On the last day of these two courses, only morning sessions are held. Schedules for all the courses are mailed approximately four weeks before the course date.
