Throughout my travels, one of the most common themes at any resort is that there’s always instructors complaining about the downsides of this gig – the resort, the job, the pay, the clientele, the snow, the list goes on... I get it, this industry is a tough one to thrive in and it's not always easy “living the dream”!

On the positive side, the other common bond we share as instructors is our passion and love for sharing this sport with others. I think it’s safe to say that this is one of the biggest reasons most of us have gotten involved in teaching in the first place, other than fame and fortune!

The CASI Board of Directors has called a Special General Meeting of Members for the purpose of updating the current association bylaws and articles of incorporation. It is the unanimous view of your Board of Directors that a bylaw update is important at this time, as our recent Strategic Plan has outlined one of the key initiatives of “ensuring modernized association governance, constitution & bylaws.”

Another off-season is soon wrapping up, and the CASI team has been hard at work since last spring in updating and improving our programs. We’re excited for the coming season!

Read below for some key information regarding technical updates, changes and also a few reminders…

CASI is currently seeking a Regional Coordinator for our programs and courses in the Alberta / BC East region to fulfill a temporary term of 9 months (September 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024) with the potential for renewal based on organizational objectives at the completion of the term.

This position requires a high level of administrative and organizational skills, finely tuned communication abilities, and experience specific to the CASI system and/or snowboard instructor training.

I always look for ways to improve and through my experimentations I’ve developed a reliable sequence to follow for analysis and improvement. Using this specific sequence has allowed me to develop riders faster and also helped in creating easy ways to relay feedback:
