  • Canadian Ski Instructors' Alliance
    Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance Skiing and Teaching Methods PREFACE / CODE OF ETHICS PREFACE The C.S.I.A. certification program is made up of several components from the instructing discipline as well as from the coaching discipline. This manual is one of the components meant to be used on C.S.I.A. instructor certification courses. It also provides interesting reading and background information for any avid skier and student of technique. Ski instruction has matured into a full-fledged part of the ski industry. Ski instructors of today must be more than accomplished skiers. They are viewed as ambassadors of the ski resort and skiing generally. A successful ski instructor is versed in learning styles and a variety of teaching methods to satisfy the demands of all types of clients. Ski instructors also receive training in guest service and customer relations to prepare for a career serving ski resorts and their clients. A well-trained ski pro is a valuable asset to any ski resort. This manual is reviewed and updated to reflect changes as they occur in skiing and teaching. Its purpose is to serve as a resource and reference in all things relevant to ski teaching. The information on these pages is the result of years of ski teaching, valuable lessons learned from other ski nations, as well as countless hours of discussion and experimentation among experienced ski teachers. It is the hope of the Steering Committee that in the future this manual will continue to serve as a useful resource that professional instructors can refer to.
