Training for BASI Courses
Getting the right training in before your BASI exams is essential. At Snoworks Pro we can offer training at every level from your first BASI exam to your final one.
Reach the level
A true understanding of the Fundamental elements and their components and being able to apply them in a constantly changing environment is the key to reaching PASS for your ski instructor awards.
All Mountain Skiing is a complex activity. Run through a crowded bar carrying a tray of drinks, try to describe ‘your movements’ accurately then repeat the feat exactly. Impossible!
Now take that scenario and think of skiing. Imagine standing at the top of a mountain. Set off, it’s steep - 40degrees, off piste, soft snow and deep. Half way down the slope narrows, the snow gets heavier, wind blown, obstacles. Into a heavily skied section with moguls, small, spread out then bigger bumps, tight, a rut line. Onto the piste, fast, hard snow, ice. Around the corner the slope narrows then widens, speed varies, line changes. Now describe it accurately and repeat it exactly. Impossible!
….So how do you improve in an ever changing environment? How can you ensure that your performance is ‘up to scratch’ whoever the assessor, whatever the conditions, whatever the criteria? How can you be completely assured of a PASS for these awards.
It’s not simple and it’s not quick but you must not cut corners. You must have a thorough understanding of all the ‘Fundamental Elements’ and their ‘Components’ and the ability to adjust and apply them in an ever changing environment. You need to understand the development of ‘Skill’ in an ‘Open Environment’.
At Snoworks Pro we can give you just that.
