6 AASI CERTIFICATION STANDARDS Introduction The following are the current ( ) AASI Education/Certification Standards. Referenced to Core Concepts, Snowboard Instructor s Guide and Snowboard Technical Manual, terminology consistent with these manuals is used throughout this document. These standards provide a training focus, and represent a minimum competency for each level of certification. The premise of the certification standards is based upon the concepts of levels of understanding that define stages of learning in degrees of understanding. Just as certification is a measure of understanding, levels of certification represent stages of understanding. Candidates will be held to the knowledge and performance standards of the level at which they are testing as well as the criteria for all preceding levels. Prior to attending a certification event candidates must be a member in good standing with AASI/PSIA. 6

9 Riding Evaluation Candidate riding will be evaluated on the following variables: Candidates will be evaluated on the following movements and coordination: Turn size Turn shape Timing, intensity, duration of movements Isolated movements or combinations of movements Versatility in movements based on terrain or tactics Extends to initiate a new turn Extends to release the edge Flexes to initiate a new turn (creates a movement of the center of mass into the new turn) Flexes to release the edge Both legs are active Applies equal flexion/extension movements from both legs Uses a variety of ways to un-weight the board Applies independent flexion/extension movements from both legs Maintains reference alignments as appropriate to terrain and task Applies an active Athletic Stance Utilizes an appropriate range of motion Riding: Applied Movements Movements and coordination will be assessed based on the definitions of initial, elementary, and mature, as defined in Core Concepts (PSIA/AASI, 2001), pg. 20. The initial movement stage occurs when a rider is unfamiliar with a movement and relies on sensory input and coaching to learn. At this stage the rider s movements are often very sequential and each part of the movement is performed individually. The rider may periodically, but not consistently, show signs of a movement pattern. The elementary stage denotes riders who can perform movements without looking at a particular body part involved in the movement, yet still need to think it through and concentrate on each of the move s components. While movements are sequential, the rider will link them together in a more fluid manner. The rider in the elementary stage will be able to consistently demonstrate a movement pattern but may not be able to apply it in all situations. The mature stage is characterized by smooth, fluid, and automatic movements without showing obvious, conscious thought reflected in the rider s actions. The rider can also repeat and apply movements across a wide spectrum of situations. A rider possessing the ability to perform mature movements and the coordination of those movements can smoothly blend them for a specific outcome and be able to readily change or adapt movements to different terrain situations and snow conditions.

10 LEVEL I Successful Level I candidates will demonstrate the ability to comfortably ride the following terrain: At a minimum, the successful Level I Rider will be able to perform: All green terrain Blue terrain, including off-piste conditions and small bumps Groomed black trails Small freestyle features One-footed maneuvers including skating, straight glide, toe-side turns, and heel-side j-turns in the beginner area Skidded traverses on green terrain Garlands on green terrain Falling leaf exercises on blue terrain Basic, medium-radius turns on green terrain Switch, Basic medium-radius turns on green terrain Dynamic skidded, medium-radius turns on blue terrain Carved, large-radius turns on green terrain Basic freestyle elements, including straight airs over small natural or man-made features, ollies, and flatland 180s and 360s, 50/50 over small ride on features or equivalent. On transitional freestyle elements including halfpipes, quarterpipes, steeper spine / hip jumps or similar natural terrain, demonstrate the ability to make an edge change with the turn apex at the top of the transition zone LEVEL I: Applied Movements Movements to be applied at Level I include flexion, extension, and rotation, and these will affect the performance outcomes of twist, tilt, pivot, and pressure control. The candidate will be asked to demonstrate flexion, extension, and rotational movements separately and in a blended fashion when performing the outcomes listed previously. At a minimum, the candidate must demonstrate up-unweighting and terrain unweighting. The candidate must also be able to perform at a elementary level the purposeful movement of the center of mass across the board by extending the legs at the initiation of the new turn, resulting in edge change and facilitating edge engagement. In addition, at the request of the examiner the rider will demonstrate: 1) equal and/or independent extension and flexion of both legs, 2) appropriate timing, intensity, and duration of movements relative to the desired outcome, and 3) an ability to maintain reference alignments in all conditions and terrain listed previously (with the exception of freestyle outcomes). While riding, the candidate must demonstrate safety awareness through line choice, behavior, and the negotiation of traffic patterns on the hill.
