CASI Park 2 Course

This past weekend I took the CASI (Canadian association of snowboard instructors) Park 2 course on Blackcomb mountain. At the start of the season I decided I would sign up for the course to keep my park riding skills up and of course to learn some new ways to teach in the park. The course was three days long with one day of skills presentations, one day of lesson presentations and one day of teaching. There was five fellow instructors taking the course, three from the U.K. living in whistler for the season, one Australian who works in a mine outside Kamloops as an Engineer and another Australian who come for a vacation just to take the course. It was great to ride with some new people and learn the different approached of how to teach in the park. The course was much more relaxed than previous courses that I have taken, much like park riding should be. We all had fun and we all ended up passing the course! My body still aches from some nasty falls but it feels good to accomplish a goal.
