Level II PSIA - Should I go for it?

[Stew Pid]

I'll save you the trouble - just study up on this I got from 0 BernardFranz and you can say you've got a POBFSI Level II certification, should be good for BIG tips.
VIEW REFERENCES TO the EFFECTIVE SKIING updated 2005? The entire body is involved and participates to adjust on? Bending of activity results from the knoecheln and from the knees, the hips and the unterere back is supported? The hips centered during the revolution and forward to promote a movement by the end and into the new revolution? The internal leg shortens, while the outside leg extends and sets up adjustment and balance with weight on the outside ski? The upper body remains more vertically as the unterere body during the forming and termination phases of the revolution and causes body angles, which align balance over the outside ski? The internal hand, the shoulder and the hip line by the forming and termination phases, resulting in a contradicted relationship between the upper and untereren body (the degree of the cost counter is connected with revolution size and form). ? The hands skiers are before the body to support to the balance. Edge movements: Edge lets that refer to skis the skis to tax revolution radius, form and speed. The edges are released in a frictionless motion and reset? Both skis tilt the same quantity early in the revolution, if the strongest angles develop inside or approach the drop line? _ the shins form forward of and lateral contact with the loading stulpen as the ski role the ski on the new edge? Tension of the internal leg assistance maintain adjustment. Bend of the internal knoechels refers movement forward and laterally for edge angle adjustments. Rotating motion: Rotating motion refers also to turn any part of the body in relation to other parts. Does direction combine more efficiently change with other abilities, does let rotating motion skis? The legs skiers turn assistance under a strong/stable Torso to the leader the skis by the revolution? _ ski and leg turn together during parallel revolution, with D femurs turn in D hip verge (in place of D entirely hip come around). ? The skis are tilted and a suitable quantity turned, in order to manufacture a smooth, C-formed elbow? Trick (steer) movements, which readdress, the skis at the revolution introduction are brought together in the TIMING and in the intensity, by sharpening the skis, in order to prepare for the increased forces, which are caused by edge obligation? Rotating motion should, except which athletic movements progressively its, which are needed, in order to recover balance. Pressure control movements: Pressure control supplies the element of the note, which promotes a smooth travel on each possible level of ski engineer? The skis flow evenly and smoothly over the area, supported by the connections skiers, which work together, in order to handle ski snow interaction. This requires effective pressure management, including application and release of the pressure (sometimes, having the consequence that one or both skis are away from the snow? The skis bend gradually during the revolution, if the entire length is engaged? The quantity of the bend and the extension of the legs skiers changes in retort on the area and the clock period of the upward gradient? Pressure adjustments during the revolution change the TIMING, the intensity and the quantity of pressure redistribution along the skis and from foot to foot? The post note or the post enterprise nzt the revolution ergae? The upper body skiers remains peace and disciplined. Direction movements: Direction movement has as a consequence to move toward for new revolution with the force of gravity and the ski? Skis extends in the direction of the new revolution toward change edges? The skis continue moving forward along their edges during the revolution? Skis drives forward away to move with the skis during the revolution? The knoechel, the knees and the hips roll forward and to move into the new revolution laterally? The skis Unterhaelte its or sight forward, looking in the intended direction of the clearance? The post swings smoothly in the direction of the clearance. VIEW REFERENCES TO the UNSUCCESSFUL SKIING balance and the position: Lack of correct balance and position forms it with difficulty to make other abilities accessible and learn new movements? Some the connections skiers bend too much and other not to enough. E.G. too does little Knoechelflex start the hips to remain behind the knees (the weight too far back) while too much Knoechelflex starts skis, far forward to be too? The upper body is sharpened to inside during the revolution? The internal ski bends more than the outside ski? Skis is rigid or Static and receives around by the area to that the hands and the hips skiers are struck behind the feet. Edge movements: Without suitable edge abilities not capable, the radius, of steering the form or the speed of the revolution skis is? The skis tilt on an edge late in the revolution (in or after the drop line) over and cause a fast and heavy edge set at the end of the revolution? The skis of locations straight above before into the revolution move it back, or push above and in place of inside a diagonal direction toward for new revolution? The extra movements skis of the use, how raising of the internal ski or stopping, in order to change edges? Skis over+bend the hips or the knees know, in order to sharpen the skis on an edge? The movement skiers into the revolution is inaccurate and causes loss of the adjustment and the balance. Rotating motion: Without correct rotating motion control in the difficult area worsens, because that cannot use skis correctly the legs? The shoulders and/or the Torso introduce the rotation of the skis? Trunks or steps with skis to begin to the revolution? The skis swivel or slip during the revolution and cause a z-formed revolution? The skis turn too fast and cause the Overtuning, or do not turn not fast enough and cause the Underturning. Pressure control movements: When does pressure control, which skis of views, lack, as if they or it fight, which areas work instead of with it? The skis and skis keep struck around by the area? Skis is mostly on the back or front from the skis during the revolution instead of in the middle in the skis balanced? The legs do not issue bend and extension in retort on changes in the area? The legs do not issue bend and extension in retort on forces in the revolution? The post enterprise is erratisch in the TIMING and in the direction? The upper body is threshing and undisciplined. Direction movements: Skis who direction movements do not use can, moved against the force of gravity or away by the revolution? The skis movements vertically, upward before moving into the new revolution? The skis swivel or slip, while they move by the revolution? The outside (sloping) the hand skiers, the shoulder and the hip line during the revolution? Skis directly sight regards on the ski points or down the snow and limits? Post rockers also near at the point of the ski or too far behind the foot in place of in of the direction of the new revolution one refers.

That's not level II, only a level III cert could stand on the hill, in a driving snow storm, and blab that long with out his face going numb.

Q: What is the difference between God and ski instructors?

A: God doesn't think he is a ski instructor.


Seriously though, go for it if it's your thing.

Depending on the resort, the pay raise may make it worthwhile. Where I've found that a certification is really useful is in moving to a new resort. If you want to change resorts, having a Level 2 makes it easy to get a job. It tells the resort that you have some sort of skiing and communications skill.

While any idiot can earn a Level 1, the Level 2 exams have a pretty low pass rate (during my first attempt only 20% of the candidates passed, and during my second attempt it was closer to 50%). Passing the exam is basically an indicator that you aren't just any idiot (although you might be a close-minded idiot who thinks that Volkl Karmas are too fat and straight to be skis).
