HAVING FUN WHILE LEARNING 
- SKI EASY SNOW DAY
1st SKI EASY Multiplier SPORT EVENT, 
Pamporovo, Bulgaria, 14–16 March 2022
Despite the difficult situation caused by Covid- 19 measures, the project ERASMUS 
+ Sport - cooperation “SKI EASY - EASY (Educational, Accessible, Simple, Youthful) 
Approach to Skills Acquisition in Skiing” has successfully pursued the implementation 
of its objectives. One of the important outcomes is the implementation of multiplier 
sport events known as the SKI EASY SNOW DAY. 
The main idea of the SKI EASY SNOW DAY is to promote the SKI EASY teaching 
module and to enable children – ski beginners from 6–9 years old, especially those 
coming from deprived social and economic environments – to experience an exciting 
snow day and try to take their first steps on ski. For that purpose, the Elan ski manu-
facturer prepared and adapted special skis (using U-Flex technology) and ski boots for 
children that enable easier turns on slopes and more fun when learning how to ski.  
In short, the SKI EASY SNOW DAY enables deprived children from lower socio-
economic environments who do not have the opportunity to experience skiing to get a

taste of this beautiful experience with professional ski instructors with the help of the 
SKI EASY MOBAPP application. 
The 2022 SKI EASY Snow Day Pamporovo was the first of three planned mul-
tiplier sport events and was organized by a Bulgarian ski school. It took place at the 
Pamporovo ski resort which offers suitable conditions for the event and was divided in 
two parts.  On the first day, a workshop was held by SKI EASY project partners with 
Bulgarian ski school instructors to get acquainted with the SKI EASY teaching model. 
The following two days were devoted to ski lessons for beginners.  Despite the pro-
blems of viral illnesses and the COVID-19 pandemic, we managed to have two very 
nice and unforgettable days with the children. There was a very good response from 
the ski instructors, coaches and other snow sport experts, participants of the 3rd SPE 
Balkan Ski Conference, who were invited to observe the implementation of the SKI 
EASY teaching model.
The SKI EASY project also addresses the aspect of sustainability, as the 300 pairs 
of skis will remain with the eight project partners in order to be able to organize further 
ski days and ski teaching courses after the end of the project according to the developed 
unified SKI EASY teaching model. In 2023 another two SKI EASY SNOW DAYS will 
be held in Kopaonik, Serbia and Innsbruck, Austria.

ZABAVNO UČENJE SMUČANJA – 
DNEVI NA SNEGU SKI EASY 
1. interaktivni športni dogodek SKI EASY,
Pamporovo, Bolgarija, 14.–16. marec 2022
Projekt ERASMUS + šport „EASY (izobraževalen, dostopen, preprost, mladosten) 
pristop k usvajanju veščin pri učenju smučanja«)“ je kljub težkim razmeram zaradi 
ukrepov covida-19 uspešno uresničil zastavljene cilje. Eden od pomembnih rezultatov 
je izvedba interaktivnih športnih dogodkov, imenovanih dan na snegu SKI EASY. 
Glavni zamisli dneva na snegu SKI EASY sta promocija učnega modula SKI EASY 
in omogočanje otrokom začetnikom, starim od 6 do 9 let, zlasti tistim, ki prihajajo iz 
socialno in ekonomsko šibkih družin, da doživijo razburljiv dan na snegu in poskusijo

narediti prve korake na smučeh. V ta namen je proizvajalec smuči Elan pripravil poseb-
ne smuči s tehnologijo U-Flex in smučarske čevlje, ki omogočajo lažje zavoje in več 
zabave pri učenju smučanja. 
Dan na snegu SKI EASY omogoča otrokom, ki nimajo priložnosti, da s pomočjo 
dostopne opreme, profesionalnih učiteljev in zabavne mobilne aplikacije SKI EASY 
doživijo čudovito izkušnjo usvajanja smučarskega znanja. 
Dan na snegu SKI EASY, ki ga je organizirala bolgarska šola smučanja, je bil prvi 
od treh načrtovanih interaktivnih športnih dogodkov, saj smučarsko središče Pampo-
rovo ponuja primerne pogoje za dogodek, ki je bil razdeljen na dva dela. Prvi dan so 
partnerji projekta SKI EASY organizirali delavnico za učitelje bolgarske nacionalne 
smučarske šole, na kateri so se ti seznanili z modelom SKI EASY. Preostala dneva sta 
bila namenjena učenju smučanja otrok začetnikov. Kljub težavam z virusnimi obolenji 
in epidemijo covida-19 nam je uspelo pripraviti lepa in nepozabna dneva za otroke iz 
bližnjega mesta. Lahko se pohvalimo tudi z dobrim odzivom učiteljev smučanja – ude-
ležencev 3. SPE konference Balkan SKI, ki so bili povabljeni, da si ogledajo izvajanje 
modela poučevanja SKI EASY.
S projektom SKI EASY zagotavljamo tudi trajnost, saj bo 300 parov smučarske 
opreme pri osmih projektnih partnerjih namenjenih za organizacijo smučarskih dni in 
tečajev smučanja po enotnem učnem modelu SKI EASY tudi po končanem projektu.
Leta 2023 bosta izvedena še dva smučarska dogodka – dneva na snegu SKI EASY 
na Kopaoniku v Srbiji in v Innsbrucku v Avstriji.
