This is great. For a level 1 in the US the emphasis is on the teaching and rules of the mountain, not so much the riding, though I think that they should require a little more riding out of level 1's. Once you're in with a mountain, you have tons of resources. Are there major differences in the teaching models in other countries? I know there is an international off-shoot of AASI and PSIA, but I don't know what exactly it governs.
