 Poster: A snowHead
|
If Jono, as a youngster is serious about getting into snowsports instructing as a profession isnt he/she better of going for the BASI trainee instructor as a first step on the ladder? Perhaps at the moment it is "just to be able to teach at the indoor slope" but this could lead to something more....
a £100 more IMHO is small change when considering a potential long term career/life choice.
I did my basis trainee last month and there were three 17 year olds on the course and we all benefited from a 10 person group with 2 BASI trainers who were fantastic.

skimottaret, my feet haven't even learnt Alpine yet so I can't be expecting them to learn Scandinavian too!

slikedges, same here but Roy is more of a mountaineer at heart and if you fancy skiing off piste or in tricky spots i recon he would be a good guy to book up, are you based in the three valleys? i can pm you his email if you wish.
