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 80 REPORTS AND REVIEWS/POROČILA IN OCENE, 77–84 ANNALES KINESIOLOGIAE • 13 • 2022 • 1 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.

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 82 REPORTS AND REVIEWS/POROČILA IN OCENE, 77–84 ANNALES KINESIOLOGIAE • 13 • 2022 • 1 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.
