CSIA Level 1 at Whitewater

Dennis Lynch demonstrating CSIA potential
 I was at Whitewater this week finishing off a CSIA Level One Course that Brent Hahn did the first two days of.  It was a full course with a great group of people.  It is always good to have a mix of ages on these courses.  Often we get a lot of 15-17 year old skiers taking this program which is great but the older skiers tend to be more relaxed and less afraid of making mistakes.  The two younger skiers we had on this course were both confident and mature.  It was also international, in addition to an ex-pat American, we also had a Swiss and a Chilean candidate.

The best part was the 100% pass rate, congratulations all.  Where are you going from here?

Conditions: As you may be able to see from the photos, Whitewater is definitely ahead of Red Mountain with snow conditions, the groomers on Silver King are mid winter standard.  But we are catching up, it is snowing in Rossland as I write.
