One down...
....three more to go.
Certification levels, that is. This weekend just passed, after an excruciatingly drawn out I completed my CSIA Level One training and was duly certified. I'm now officially a Ski Instructor. Actually getting the course done was the really tricky bit. We started the course on January 22... ...in the pouring rain. What was supposed to be an hour or two of class room time, became six, and during the day, the ski school director dropped by to say that Sunday would be a washout. And then we waited for snow to fall and the mountain to reopen. Jan 29-30: no. February 5-6: nada. February 12-13: yes! Two days on the hill where they only really bad snow was the skiout. The only trouble was that the course would now complete on the 19-20 weekend, and I'd missing spending the day with my gf, who was then in town for a week. But the show went on, and with some very good instructors, I once again learned how to skid my turns in the approved manner for teaching beginners. It's amazing how difficult it is to deconstruct one's technique. g In the process, I discovered just how much I needed to replace my boots, and SnowCovers is fitting me for new Salomon's as I type this. Why? Level Two! There's a course starting in March and I think I can pass it (the Level One certification was never really in doubt, IMNSHO g). And then we'll really see. And OK, I may never get to Level Four. ;-) -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling 4 feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling 4 feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |
