 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
With the first few BASI training centers popping up this winter will anyone here be considering training/going for the test technique? Or has anyone already passed it and can comment on it a bit more?
I've heard alot of people saying unless you have a background in skiing slalom gates you will really struggle to ever pass the test technique, Is this true or does it just require some serious dedicated training?
Look forward to hearing peoples views on this!

Check that out, plenty of info. I didnt find it too hard to be honest. But then I had put in some dedicated training, over a period of time. Basically 6 weeks of slalom in total (5 days per week). Times were 1 second under after 3 weeks, and 3 seconds under after 6 weeks. So if you are decent coming into the training you can get fast pretty quickly.

Think BASS Morzine are getting training centre status. I expect there could be several more around the Alps. Everyone wins, ski schools can pay less, instructors get some good training and pay (comparative to elsewhere it is still good). Although it is hard to say just how many will emerge!?
I think its good to see, but too many and I doubt the French will like it much.
