Replying to Skiing cource help

Hamlet:
Hey NS,

so here is the situation: I am going to be a ski instructor for a few weeks this season and tomorrow I have some kind of technical training meant to improve your skiing ability.

The thing is that, since I have never been an instructor before, i will teach little kids who have never stood on skis before, so my skiing abilitly does not really matter.
But since I have to attend this course anyways, I want to improve my carving and such.

My question is: Should I use my park skis or some cheap alpine skis I have?

When I ski, I always my park skis, so would using them be good since I will learn stuff on the same skis I usually ride.

Or should I use the alpine skis that I never really use, to be able to excactly copy the instructor. I suppose using them will increase my versatility, but I would have to translate the movements I learn to the park skis.

So, what skis should I use tomorrow, in order to profit the most from this free course?

My park skis are non-symetrical and not centremounted btw.

Thanks for your help!!!
