I currently ski/live in MN with several trips out west. Been taking lessons consistently over the last five+ years with multiple groups, local hills, etc. Both group and private. for the last couple of years i have been interested/motivated to take lvl 1 exam, but life and the calendar always seems to get in the way early in the season when clinics, seminars, etc are held in my area. I have been PSIA member couple years as well.
I have been as of latley more serious about the process and getting some insight from instructors i take classes with. From the feedback i have recieved, skill/drill wise requied for lvl 1 i should be fine and not have issue completing that portion. Some have encouraged i look more serious into getting certified, more so this season than in past. This season i bought the books and have been reading online, watching videos, etc.

Reason im asking b/c it being end of the season and i was thinking of trying out for lvl 1 and come next season goto clinic, get set up at local hill to be mentored, get some teaching experience, etc.
Thanksfor any and all feedback.

- I understand it is helpful to have some time under ones bet, does one actually need teaching experience to take or even pass the lvl 1 exam.
- Is a rareity folks w/o having teaching experience take the lvl 1exam and is it frowned upon for those w/o teaching wpexperience to take the exam.
- Do olks get dinged for not having teaching experience
- Any other pros/cons for attempting lvl 1 exam
