Supervision

• A certified instructor should be supervising the terrain park at all times. Terrain park should be closed to students when supervision by a certified instructor is not available.
• Instructor should have a CSIA Snow Park Certification or a CASI Park Instructor certification or a CSA Coach certification. A regular CSIA certification plus in-house training for teaching in terrain parks is also acceptable.

Instructional Considerations

• Students should be instructed to read and follow all posted rules in the terrain park.
• Use of half-pipes, jumps larger than 1 m and inversion moves (flips) must not be permitted.
• Students should be introduced to basic skills related to safe participation in the terrain park. A progression-based teaching method should be used.
• Students should only use features that are identified as appropriate by a qualified instructor.
• Students should inspect all aspects of a feature before using it.
• Only one person should use a feature at a time. Instruct students to wait their turn. If view of the landing area is obscured, position a spotter to watch and indicate when a feature is clear to use.

Equipment/Facilities

• Features must be inspected and maintained on a daily basis.
• Instructor should inspect features throughout the day for changing conditions. Features should be closed to students if they become unsafe.
• Take offs should be clearly marked with dye.
