Replying to CSIA Level 1 course - how hard is it?
Hi Folks!
I'm from germany, just finished school and going to Canada, Vancouver for the winter.
I got a job at a (very small) ski resort (Mt Seymour) and will be working there as a ski instructor - under the condition that I pass the 3-days CSIA Level 1 course in mid December.
I'm kinda worried about not passing the course even though I heard it is supposed to be quite easy. My english is fluently-ish so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't know much about the instructing part, but since I've worked at a local ski school a few weekends last winter I'm quite positve about that as well.
I'm a pretty good skier but I'm still worried about the ski skills examination part... mostly because I recently purchased(very cheap from a friend) and mounted touring bindings on my skis (marker f12 bindings, and I got rossignol sin 7 powder skis) because I defo want to explore the backcountry when I'm there, also because the ski resort is as said very small. Since I have only once skied with touring bindings I'm now a bit worried it will limit my skills on the pist...
So my actual question to you guys is, if you know how hard exactly it is to pass the csia level 1 (especially the skiing part) and if I need to worry as much as I do right now haha!
Cheers
Anton
