PSIA Level 1 Sample Exam Questions
Here are some sample PSIA Level I questions I came up with for the Level 1 candidates I was training last night:
- We can glide (parallel) and stop using a wedge. Using a parallel progression, introduce turning.
- We can glide (parallel) and stop using a wedge. Using a wedge progression, introduce turning.
- We are never-ever skiers who just showed up for a lesson with you. Introduce yourself, start the lesson, explain the equipment and do some boot work.
- We are never-ever skiers who just showed up for a lesson with you. We’ve gone through an introduction and some boot work. Explain the skier’s athletic stance and do some boot work using that stance.
- We’ve learned how to do the athletic stance and some boot work. Do some exercises with one ski on and then two skis on so that we can get ready to learn stopping and turning in future lessons.
- We can glide (parallel) but we don’t know how to stop yet. Guide us through how to stop using a wedge.
- We can stop and turn and we’re ready to go up the mountain on our first run. Explain how to safely load, ride and unload a lift. When we get to the top, give us some safety tips.
- Teach skiers to turn using a wedge in a fan progression.
- Teach skiers to turn using step turns in a fan progression.
We got a lot done and worked on benchmarks, too. It was fun for me because I felt like an examiner. It’s great getting knowledge and then being able to pass it on to others to help them.
