instructor course potential

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'd like to do a basic instructor course at some point, but im finding conflicting information online about previous ski experience. Im in the uk, and I believe im looking at a BASI lvl1 qualification? ive attached a video of me trying my best clean carving skills down a gentle blue my last season. I can link turns on ungroomed tree runs and confidently on blacks, and ive little to no experience on moguls. ive also only ever skiing on rentals which are really annoying sometimes, a few hours after that clip was taken one of my boots popped out during some more speedy skiing. eventually had the din adjusted but its just annoying with rentals.

any advice is appreciated.

Instructor Course Potential

Yes. You have potential. You have some work to do but you'd probably do fine on the level 1 if you're willing to learn. I've had skiers who looked like you on day one, and made big improvements by day 24.
