@crosbie, indeed! I shall be sure to add a pocket-sized folding stool to the kit list!

@stevomcd, if you find yourself without a folding stool in your back pack, you can get the student to sit upon your bended knee.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

When I used to teach on dry slope, we actually kept a booster-seat handy for the inevitable can't-stand-up-on-heel-edge clients!

@stevomcd, sounds terrible. Are these folk who can only stand up if they're facing the slope - to stand up on toe edge?
[I have spent some time on a dry slope - in many ways it's scarier than snow]
I have had to tell people that if they can't get up on their board from their bum, to roll over and get up from their knees.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

A lot of people find it very hard to stand up on heel edge. As you generally teach heel edge first, there's no point getting them to stand up on their toe edge as they'll promptly fall over.
I help people up a LOT. They generally get the hang of it soon enough though.

I would recommend wrist guards, try to get gloves with integrates wrist guards if you can, they can be a pain to get on and off especially with kids. Also a helmet and possibly impact shorts. I wouldn't worry too much about a back protector as kids just bounce but a sprained wrist or a sore tail bone can really slow down progress snowboard protective gear
