The problem with these CASI or CSIA demo requirements is that they probably use the same riders or skiers (probably a level 4) for the demonstrations of all levels.

Can you really tell the difference between a level 1 to level 2, from level 2 to level 3, and level 3 to level 4? :doh:

The problem with these CASI or CSIA demo requirements is that they probably use the same riders or skiers (probably a level 4) for the demonstrations of all levels.

The riders in the standard video are Jeff C., Dave B., Charles G., David G., Jeremy S.. They are all level 4 evaluators. I don't know the rest of the riders, but I suppose they are at least level 3 evaluators. The students in the quick ride system videos are level 3 instructors.

The riding standards in the videos are being used by all the CASI evaluators across Canada. All evaluators should always be able to demo at a given level (aka level 4 evaluator must be able to demo clearly a distinguished level 1-4 riding standard at any given time). Keep in mind, the riding standard will be adjusted according to the terrain and snow condition.

In order to pass the riding standard, there are basic riding requirement in each level. For example, carving in level 2, 360s and moguls in level 3, etc (which are shown in the videos). However, these are just small part of it. Us, the evaluators, we want to see consistency, versatility and adaptability during the course. Higher the level, more the performance we demand. The video is just a preview of what we demand.

I'm not sure if this is same for CSIA, but I believe it's similar.

Lastly, technical skill is only 50% of the CASI and CSIA exam. There are also teaching exam. :single_eye:

Yes, I can tell the difference between them. :smile:

Yes, I can tell the difference between them. :smile:


What I meant is that since it is all demo'ed by the level 4 evaluators, so for example, their demo'ing the Level 2 skills is kind of similar to their demo'ing the level 3 skills.

Pan, you are now a CASI level 3, and a level 2 evaluator?

Pan, you are now a CASI level 3, and a level 2 evaluator?
Yes, I am.

I'm not a level 3/4 evaluator, but I took CASI super course for the last eight years (east and west coast). I've seen so many people took level 3 and 4 courses and exams. There is a huge different between level 2, 3 and 4 candidates.
Each level of evaluators should be able to demo at a require level at any given time. When I'm demo level 2 riding, it will be the riding standard in my level 2 course.
To become level 4 evaluators, not only he or she has to be a great rider and instructor, but also has been giving lot of CASI 1-3 courses. Therefore, a level 4 evaluator should be able to demo better than other levels of evaluators at any given time. :smallsmile:

Congratulations to Pan. Saw it from Ader's message that Pan is now a CASI 4. Congratulations.
