Snowboard instructor equipment write offs? Updated my gear this season. Was used mostly for work purposes. Is there a way to write it off? If so what counts ?

what would count if anything? I.e. boards, bindings, helmet, gloves, socks, base layers, masks, googles, hand warmers, etc


all i know about is writing off CASI dues and courses

No...You cannot deduct the cost of special clothing you wear or have to wear for your work.  However, you are entitled to the Canada employment amount of up to $1,146 to help offset some of the expenses you may incur as an employee.  TurboTax will automatically claim and enter this amount based on the employment income you are reporting.
