committee of Alberta includes eight ski instructors. It is worthy of noting that each regional committee generally includes one Level 1 coordinator and one PDP coordinator, which are responsible for planning and coordinating these events in their respective regions. Upper level certification schedules are handled at a national level by the National Office of the CSIA. National helmet use policy Helmets have been shown to reduce the incidence of severe head injuries. Since 2014, the CSIA requires that a helmet be worn by all course conductors on duty as well as those in uniform. Additionally, course participants are required to wear a helmet for the freeride/snowpark and GS modules.
