PSIA-AASI Intermountain is a nonprofit organization run by the Division Board of Directors, who employ an Executive Director for operations oversight. The BOD and the ED are governed by the Division By-Laws (available below). They meet several times per year to discuss how best to serve the membership. Elections are held each year in March to elect new representatives to the Board. The Board periodically updates the Division Policies and Procedures (available below) to determine how the organization runs. A general membership meeting with the Board of Directors is held annually.
The Division employs a number of Discipline Managers, who are responsible for maintaining the curriculum for each discipline. Each discipline has a number of DECL (Division Educational and Clinic Leader) staff members who run most of our clinics and assessments.
All members are expected to follow the Division code of conduct, available below.
The day-to-day operations of the Division and all member services are handled by the Executive Director and the Division Office, located in Salt Lake City, and the National Call Center, located in Denver.
Professional Members: A Professional Member is a member who has been through training at their snowsports school and who is currently (or previously) employed as an instructor by a current Member School. Professional Members are working toward, or have already achieved any level of certification. They maintain certification by earning continuing education units in PSIA-AASI clinics and educational events.
Associate Members: An Associate Member is a member who intends to work as a professional instructor but has not yet been employed by a Member School or gone through snowsports school training. As part of their instructor journey, Associate Members may earn their Level 1 certification after they have completed a Foundations Clinic. They may then maintain continuing education units by attending teaching, people skills and movement analysis clinics or webinars. Once an Associate Member is trained by and works or volunteers at a Member School they become a Professional Member.
Associate Members Lift Ticket/Pass requirement: (those who are unaffiliated with a member school) are required to provide their own lift ticket/pass to clinics and exams. If you have a season pass, please check the dates you are attending against blackout dates.
