Did you know that coaches are required to have minimum training in order to supervise, instruct or coach ski activities for children under the age of 17 years? If an individual is teaching someone to ski, they must have this training. If an individual is just helping the group (serving hot chocolate, following behind the last skier in the group as they ski around a trail, helping to put on gloves and skis), they do not require minimum training.
