Course Description:
The Bi-Ski Level 3 On-Snow Assessment evaluates bi-ski teaching and skiing at the PSIA-AASI Adaptive Level 3 National Standard. At this level candidates are expected to demonstrate expert-level versatility - adapting equipment, tethering technique and lesson design for students with complex needs across a wide variety of terrain and snow conditions.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Advanced tethering and independent skiing - Maintain control, rhythm and student security on advanced terrain, variable snow, and in dynamic situations.
- Complex equipment decisions - Justify set-up choices for students with significant physical, sensory or cognitive involvement, and adjust on the fly as the lesson develops.
- Expert teaching - Deliver a lesson that demonstrates sophisticated movement analysis, creative problem solving, and the ability to explain the reasoning behind every choice.
Adaptive Level 2 certification in bi-ski is a prerequisite. Review the PSIA-NW Adaptive Certification Guide and the Bi-Ski Exam Information sheet, and bring a completed development log.
