Canadian Ski Quest instructor Mike Manara, he is the guy in the air. The program this week is like a reunion, this is Mike's fifth year on the program. All but two participants have done multiple programs in the past. Two theories exist as to the high repeat rate on Canadian Ski Quest programs 1) Everyone keeps coming back for the Kuk's bowling and disco experience. 2) The pass rate for the program is very low, to date I believe 3 people have passed Canadian Ski Quest, everyone else is told that, in spite of signifigant improvements, they need to repeat the program and additional training in New Zealand is always suggested. It is a little known fact that Canadian Ski Quest is considerably harder to pass than the CSIA Level 4.
Demonstrating excellent form and pressure control in the second photo is Jeremy Tod from Indonesia. Although his skiing is looking quite remarkable, Mike remains skeptical regarding passing marks for Jeremy this season, he may need to repeat in 2010.
