Level 2 CSIA instructor here. Recently got Snow Park Certified through CSIA with 2 fellow ski instructors.

I have been asked to start a snow park program at my local hill, Brimacombe, ON. Where would you start. program, evaluation, criteria, even input on what to ask park staff to build.

Our snow school does not have much in the freestyle side of things right now, but we will be offering camps, 8 week lesson programs and privates. Any tips or if anyone can explain what they have at their home mountain would be much appreciated. I am just a kid here trying to better the future of the freestyle skiing world!

Correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't you learn how to answer your question in your CSIA course?
Do you not receive reference material, drills, exercises, evaluation criteria, etc?

The course went over all the teaching which we have. I am looking more into how to incorporate it into the snow school as a subsection. Right now we have no structure to a park program at our hill and i was mainly wondering if there are any other instructors our there that have a freestyle program at their hill. Sorry about the confusion.

I would just go through the steps as presented by Jake Muller. He is a member on here and has awesome tutorial videos that helped me out when I was trying to learn a few things. I would honestly go through the waves with his series.

Like day one is Park etiquette and riding switch while not panicking
Day two is Boxes
Day Three is Box rails
And so on and so on.

Just go through the progression of what most people do. I started riding switch, then boxes and so on. Just do the same things and throw in your own interpretation.
