Just wondering how is it? How well do you need to ski, and how easy/hard is it to fail/Pass?
Thanks :D

^psia is USA, CSIA is canada.
its really easy. u need to be able to do basic parallel tunrs (skiddy) and pizza turns. and u have to have good people skills to pass the teaching part. the skiing part is really easy. well the whole course is super easy. in my course, 12/13 passed

its not too hard, you learn how to ski a lot better at the same time

aah ok, thanks alot guys. I'm more of a carver (heh the name :P), and I somewhat struggle with skid turning + wide stance, but I'll be practicing that on my carving skis. Skiddings a lot easier on my twins, but I think I might pull out carvers just for the course. Once again, thanks. :).
Just one thing though:
If someone carved (edged more) instead of skid, would they fail? They specifically ask for "skid turns" am i correct?

you have to be able to demonstrate what you are going to be teaching, so being able to show a good beginner paralel turn (ie not carving) is key, you gotta dumb cown your skiing for the demo parts. Still a fuckin joke though
