Snowboard Instructor “Shreducation” Programs
The YES Professional Snowboard Instructor Course is the ultimate program for anyone looking to get the most out of their time in Whistler. We have spent the last few years listening to our graduates’ feedback and we have built the next generation of instructor training courses!
Program Overview
This 7 week Instructor course will take you through the necessary training in order for you to gain your CASI Level 1 certification and begin the training towards the Level 2. You will also participate in our Snow park training clinic which will cover the progression to riding switch, rails and jumps.
The program includes technical seminars, on-going assessment of your riding progress, weekly fun videos (see yourself on the big screen!) and a personalized evaluation each week from one of our qualified Level 4 Pros. You will also join in our Snow Park training clinic which will cover the progression to riding switch, rails, jumps and even half pipe. If you’re up for the challenge, you may choose to add the CASI Park instructor 1 exam to your list of achievements.
You will also complete the AST 1 avalanche awareness certification. This is a course for those wishing to acquire appropriate entry level safety skills, proper instruction in uphill skinning techniques, assessing mountain environments and of course, the fun of powder snow boarding.
Overall, the 7 week program will improve your interpersonal skills, make you a better communicator and increase your technical knowledge as you advance your own riding to new heights!
