I am now BASI Level 1 Certified









After a very friggin' cold morning on the mountain, we finally completed the week long certification exam. I passed with flying colors. So now, I'm able to teach on indoor and dry slopes. The BASI level 2 exam will start in week 8 so there is plenty of time to work on the technique some more. We celebrated the end of the exam with a trip to Nelly's which is a wild game restaraunt run by some Aussies. We had our pick from antelope, croccodile, and ostritch. You could also order kangaroo and zebra as well. The meal was good, but for 30 francs we expected more. After that, it was party time in the Schnee Wittchen.

Next week will be the first aid and avalanch training, so there will be little time on the snowboard. It is supposed to dump this weekend and the temp is supposed to get to -17 deg C. Looking forward to some cold smoke powder runs.
