From the Section 8 Website, below is Tobin's bio:

He is currently an examiner for the Canadian Ski Instructor?s Alliance, a C.S.I.A. level IV certified instructor and holds the I.S.I.A. stamp. He graduated from the Canadian Outdoor Leadership Training program in 1998 and also holds certifications with the Canadian Ski Guide?s Association, Canadian Ski Coaches Federation, Canadian Avalanche Association and holds CSIA Terrain Park and Advanced Wilderness First-Aid qualifications.

Tobin grew up skiing the steep and deep tree lines on Vancouver Island but has been found teaching and participating in outdoor pursuits in various corners of the globe. He lived for many years in Whistler where he taught instructor training programs and skied as a member of the Whistler-Blackcomb Demonstration Team. He has trained everyone from aspiring instructors to Canada?s burly military personnel to young kids who have grown into world renowned freeskiers. Unable to ward off the irresistible allure of Vancouver Island Tobin and his wife, Kana moved to Courtenay BC to start Section 8? He looks forward to the day that he?ll be soon chasing his two young daughters Miyuki and Satsuki around the slopes.
