Any chance you know of a decent video showing how to teach someone to snowboard? (or ski?) I'd love to understand the best way to do that.

I've never seen a video that actually lays it out.

The course to be a level 1 instructor (the lowest level) is three days intensive.

Level 2 is four days.

Level 3 is a five day course, plus separate two day exams (on and off snow).

Level 4 (highest level).. well, I'm not there yet, it takes most people three years to do all the training and pass all the tests.

For virtually everyone you have to snowboard/ski full time (100+ day seasons) working on your technique and teaching at least every day for about ten years to pass level four.

The teaching isn't something you can learn from a couple of hour video.
