Im not sure about discounts, but I am a CSIA member, and have been for like 5 years, I dont think I've used any discounts from the csia ever...

I think the park & pipe course is a good idea from the csia, but they've headed in their own direction when they fell out with the CFSA (Canadian Freestyle Ski Assoc.) over how things were being tought and other issues... so now either side doesnt recognize the other as qualified/certified (they once did)...even tho you are cert. either way . I am obviously bias here in my opinions due to the fact that I am a CFSA level 1 course conductor or "learning Facilitator" if you like. The CSIA has really no background in park and pipe (especially rails) and the CFSA has been in it from the begining at the grass roots level--to the elite level. The progression levels for example in the csia course for rails is starting with No poles...I dont know about you guys but I like my poles where they are (in my hands) when I do rails... there is a lot of little differences in the courses, and it does take longer to get fully certified with the cfsa...but there is a course this weekend at MSLM...so if you're interested in it, PM me, and I can help you out.
i love ranting. and sometimes raving.

Oh and just to add to my rant, in the csia park and pipe.... they say minimum requirement is to slide a "Plastic rail", which i find ridiculous, and unsafe...PVC is no good....Dont do it, start on a box, or a low key metal rail.(learning or teaching)

point blank dagmar is bad. I like the boxes and rails, but comon, look at that horseshit pipe, they'd be better off to fill it in with snow and groom it flat! and those park staff do fuck all...but I wouldnt do much either if I didnt get paid. Bottom line is that it could be OK, but the design is poor. And someone please tell them that Spines are garbage and a waste of space, especially the ones that dagmar builds...it pisses me off...why dont they make lines you can do...instead of weaving all over the hill trying to maintain speed.... They have a little bit of potential but Dagmar will just shit-the-bed again
