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:

The Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors (CASI) is a member-based, professional not-for-profit society serving as the certification body for snowboard instruction in Canada. Our mission is to inspire the world’s best snowboard instruction. Our vision is to be the global leaders in instructor education, innovation and professional development that is synonymous with a thriving, diverse and accessible snow sports industry.

On behalf of the CASI Board of Directors, we would like to provide the following update regarding the Alberta Board seat.

Imagine…you are 15 years old, fresh off your Level 1 course, ready to begin your career as a snowboard instructor. Your first day on the job is filled with lessons (yippee!) – a full day of teaching kids, mostly 3 to 5-year old’s. What do you do?

Riding sideways is my favourite way to ride, however it does come with many challenges. This article will address asymmetry in snowboarding and how instructors can use this knowledge to their teaching advantage. The main points of this article will be how asymmetry effects beginners and advanced riders alike. These points can both help to improve our own snowboarding as well as aid in analysis and improvement skills.
