Congrats mate 
So you have lots of free time and a lot less snowplowing in your future then?

PhillipStanton, 'course in my day there was only a 0.5% success rate, we had to barrel through moguls the size of skyscrapers... on one ski (215 at least), no sleep for weeks, camping at Glenmore Lodge, Absorbotex skiwear, hedgehogs for footbeds . I expect they just gave it to you along with 10 A grade GCSEs. Pah!
Well done.

PhillipStanton, congratulations. You didn't exactly choose the right season to do it, did you? Though maybe better than wasting a really fantastic season snowploughing around!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

PhillipStanton, well done on becoming a BASI 3 Instructor.
But, like you it seems, I am not sure exactly what that means.
I have perused the BASI site and can't find the term "BASI 3"
So are you ISIA (International Ski Instructors Association Award) or ISTD (International Ski Teacher Diploma)?
Both sound very grand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
Nothing so grand Jonpim.
Apologies for the terminology - BASI have stopped using the "BASI 3", "BASI 2" and "BASI 1" terminology - although everyone within the system still seems to refer to the numbers. BASI 3 is the bog standard Instructor level - BASI 2 is the ISIA level and BASI 1 is the ISTD level.
pam w - whilst a season like last year would have been a lot nicer, it was frustrating enough having to snowplough on the few powder days we've had. Missing more powder days would have been torture. I could have done without the rain though!

Well done again.

Good to hear.
You are, of course, completely right. Although it's a direction I'm unlikely to take.

Unfortunately, MrsPhillipStanton didn't pass, although (like all of us) she improved immensely during the course. In the end she was let down by her carving.

Nice one I plan to start the process at the start of next season with the Foundation course (or whatever it's called these days). I shall have questions for you, no doubt...

PhillipStanton, Commiserations to Mrs S. Does she have to re-take the whole course or just one particular module 
|

Thanks kevinrhead. She can just do a technical resit. But may or may not yet.
SMALLZOOKEEPER - thanks for the very kind offer - that would be great. I'll PM you suggestions during the week.

PhillipStanton, well done indeed! I had a lesson from a BASI 3 in Arinsal recently (also called Marcus as it happened). The one thing he said was that the process had really improved his skiing and that by teaching, he'd learned a good deal more about his own skiing.
Apparently the big 2-week BASI get together is in Soldeu next year. April I think he said. I'd love to find the time/money to do this.

PhillipStanton, very well done. My understanding is that now as a qualified instructor should you fall over at any time on the piste you will be obliged to buy everyone beer.
