The vision of USSA is to make the USA the best in world in skiing and snowboarding. There are currently three levels of inverted aerial certification. Level 2 includes all single somersaults. Level 3 includes all double somersaults. Level 4 is unlimited.
Clinics are part one of a three part certification process.
The second part is a period of apprenticeship working with athletes at the water ramp facilities for a total of 40 hours. The third part is a period of on snow apprenticeship for a total of 40 hours. When all of these stages are complete, each person is reviewed by the Aerial Coaches Certification Committee. On the basis of this evaluation, as well as the applicants total hours spent at water and snow jumping sites, the Aerial Coaches Certification Committee will determine what level of certification, if any, should be issued.
