Course Description:
Riding assessment/retake events are designed for snowboarding instructors who want to have their riding assessed, based on the AASI Level II or III standards as appropriate. The course is 80% riding, 20% coaching. Coaching is provided for personal riding improvement. Riding tasks and situations will be similar to those chosen at the Level II and III Certification Assessments. At the end of this course, you will be provided with a written assessment of your riding skills, including an overall score for the riding category. The assessment you receive is based on your performance that day and cannot accurately determine actual performance at the Certification Assessments. Members who have participated in an assessment and are eligible for a “Riding Retake” may use a passing score from this course to complete their Level II or III Certification as appropriate. Wearing a helmet is not required, but is encouraged at this course. Snowsports School Director’s signature is required for retakes.
