Demonstration Team Chosen Park City hosted the tryouts for the 1970-71 Intermountain Ski Instructors Association Demonstration Team on Satur­day, December 5. There were sixteen candidates trying out for the nine positions on the team. Ski School rep­resented were: Park City, Park City West, Brianhead, Beaver Mountain, Skyline and Alta. The only require­ments to be a candidate are that one be a fully certi­fied member of the ISlA in good standing and be able to answer questions and demonstrate all phases of skiing. The candidates started in the morning with a written exam testing various knowledge of ski technique. They then moved on to the on-the-hill session which lasted the rest of the day. Maneuvers demonstrated were: Stem Turn, Forward Sideslip, Stem Christy, Long Swing Parallel, Short Swing, Off Trail Skiing, High Speed Turns in bumps, High Speed Turns on Smooth Terrain, Cramponette (skate­pole G.S. turns), Short radius turns in bumps on steep terrain. The examining staff this year was made up of some of the best skiing talent in the country. From our area there was Max Lundberg, member of tbe 9th Interski American Demonstration Team; Bob Autry, Director ot Park City West Ski School; Andy Shearer, Chairman of both ISlA and NASIC Technical committees; Ed Pond, Secretary of ISlA; and in an effort to bring in people who are in touch with ski-ing outside our area and ski internationally, Pepi Steigler from Jackson Hole and Corky Fowler from Sun Valley came in to help examine. Also included on the examining staff was a newcomer to our area Bruce Morse. Bruce is living in Park City after moving here from Denver, Colorado, where he was a Senior A racer for Denver University and actively involved in coaching junior racing programs in the Denver area. Choosing the team members was not easy. All the examin­ers were impressed with the capabilities of all the can­didates. The on the hill score averages were very close, only hundredths of a point separating some. After sev­eral hours of deliberation, Max Lundberg announced the team members and alternates. They were: Gene Christian­sen, Marv Casey, Keith Lange, Robin Locke, John Jenkins, Sid Jensen, Dick Nielsen, Roger Roche and Rik Washburn. Alternates were: Georg Hartlmaier and Al Ellis. The Demonstration Team will travel around the Inter­mountain area, sometimes as a group and sometimes only selected members, to demonstrate at clinics and other functions. The team may also be invited to present a program at the North American Ski Instructors ~on­gress this spring, but no plans have been made as yet. We have a very good Demonstration Team this year and are indebted to those who participated in the tryouts. The President's Report CERTIFICATION - In the last two years, Certification has lagged behind previous years. During the 1967-68 ski season, 151 candidates took a certification exam compared with only 74 last year -- a 100% decrease. This quite obviously means a decrease in the number of new Associate members and a very minimal growth in the ISlA. With the sport of skiing growing rapidly, our organization is not keeping pace with the dramatic increase in the number of skiers who need "qualified and competent" ski instruction from certified ski teachers. Why the drop in the number of candidates? Many rea­sons have been suggested to me: Lack of support of the Certification Program from some of the Ski School Directors, overall lack of confidence by the members of the program, 'the bigger schools have all the certi­fied people they need and are not concentrating on cer­tification as heavily now as in the past, the exam pro­cedure is not revelent and instructors are just refus­ing to take an exam and the Ski School Directors are not preparing their instructors for exams and there­fore, the individuals are not confident enough to at­tempt an exam. Whatever the reasons, it is obvious that we do have a problem. The Certification Committee last year and most importantly this year have made definite changes in the program to improve certification and attempt to gain support of the program from past critics. At the Exam­iners' Clinic in Park City, the Certification Committee presented a program which was enthusiastically accepted by the members attending. The changes outlined will, I'm sure, make for a much improved program this year. It should be kept in mind, however, that changes in our program simply for "change sake" will not neces­sarily improve the program and that any changes must be accomplished by carefully analyzing "controlled" experimenting in a particular exam. It is my hope that this year registered apprentice in­structors and Associate members will be encouraged by their Ski School Directors to prepare for certifica­tion and have the exam be the culmination of their training program. It is ISlA's primary responsibility to certify ski teachers; everything else we do is secondary to this responsibility tu the skiing public to provide safe, competent and proficient ski teachers for them. The certification exam, I feel, is a learning exper­ience. As a result of preparing for certification, the instructor will become a more capable and profi­cient ski teacher. He will give a better lesson and as a result his students will learn how to ski safely and will be able to enjoy skiing in ski school. The satisfied student will return to ski school adding in­come to himself, his director and area operator. The successful ski schools in our area haven proven this to be true. 2 The n.ew ISlA 0ttic.eM.

OUR STAFF Editorial Direction Clark Parkinson Editor and Art Director Photography Contributors David Chaplin R. Leon Dean Lou Lorenz Scott Boyer Phil Jones Ai Ellis Frank Gillette Ed Pond Stenography Mary Ellen Parkinson Certification Changes The ISlA Certification Committee has made some changes in the Certification Policy which will be effective for the coming 1970-71 season. The number of candidates per exam will now be eight in­stead of the "at least eight but not more than ten" num­ber used for the last few years. This change will al­low the candidate more time with the examining board. The fee for examination has been changed from $25.00 to $30.00. This will keep the income of the exams on an even keel with previous years even though the number of candidates has been dropved to eight. The exam will be based on the Basic Principles of the Official American Ski Technique, new revised edition 1970. Previously, the basis for certification has been the Official American Ski Technique manual itself. This change it is felt will broaden the exam and allow for individual ski school differences. In the teaching phase, the examiners will be looking for a logical and continuous progression in the various teaching maneuvers. In other words, the candidate may teach up-unweighting or down-unweighting, rotation or counter-rotation or anything as long as it has a logical and continuous progression. This \vill allow the candi­date to be examined on the methods he uses in his own ski school. In the free skiing phase of the exam, the candidate will be asked to display his ability to execute with a high degree of precision, steadiness, and control any of the maneuvers of his repertory of downhill skiing ability. The examining board shall also designate the terrain, snow conditions, and the rate of speed. This change will do away with the commonly asked question of "What shall I do for my free ski run?" These changes it is hoped will put more emphasis on the teaching phase of the exam and also allow for the various methods of the different ski schools. We should all read the revised Certification Policy for a complete and clear picture of the certification program. Listed below is a list of ISlA Certification Area Rep­resentatives. Any questions concerning certification in your area should be directed to these people: Park City Hosts Annual Examiners Clinic Ski School Directors, Supervisors, Assistant Directors and members who had previously examined were guests of the Certification Committee at Park City on Sunday, December 6. This year was rather unique in that the Clinic was free! And according to K. Smi th: "Tha t' s great." Sunday morning,after the Ski School Directors meeting, everyone met at the Treasure Mountain Center. The Cer­tification Committee presented a program which was gen­erally regarded as being brief and to the point and very informative. Phil Jones, Certification Chairman, welcomed everyone and introduced two special guests: Serg Couttet, Ski School Director at Loveland Basin, Colo., member of RMSIA BOD, Certification Committee Member, and Jack Weigand, Certification Chairman PNSIA. Both of these individuals were sent by their respective divisions to observe our clinic. The morning program consisted of the Committee's pre­senting basic changes in this year's program. Phil explained the changes in the exam procedure; Max Lund­berg reviewed the experiments that will be tried this year; Junior Bounous, a new member this year, reviewed the new "Basic Principles of the American Technique" as outlined in the third edition of the PSIA American Technique Manual. Clark Parkinson reviewed quickly the "paper work" which with a few minor changes will remain the same. Phil finished up the sessions by outlining the critique which will be used to inform the candidate of the results of his exam. After the morning session, the RMSIA Technical Movie was shown. Sponsored by a Denver bank, the film shows through demonstrations the Rocky Mountain's ski tech­nique. A free buffet lunch was served and then every­one finally got to go skiing. The sun was bright and the snow was fantastic. It took some time to gather all the free skiers together to watch the Demonstration Team which had been selected the previous day demon­strate several finished forms. The purpose of this part of the program was to attempt to define what was acceptable in a demonstration. Phil made comments on the demos and answered questions from the group. Most everyone agreed on the acceptability of the demos al­though the team members certainly didn't look exactly alike. There was some rather vocal dissent in the upper phase demos by Sid Jensen who felt that the short swing demos were not realistic and too hard to do or teach to a student. The afternoon session end­ed with the Demo Team free skiing for the group as a candidate would in an exam. Overall, the program was short, concise and well run. The food was good and for the most part the Ski School Directors seemed happy with the direction the program is taking this year. Is I.S.I.A. the Ugly Duckling? Lou Lotr.enz As most of you are aware, for the past 16 months P.S.I.A. has been in a status of complete disorganization while in the process of reorganization. During this time, I.S.I.A. has elected to stay clear of the problems and take a wait-and-see attitude. Recall that as a result of a membership poll in late 1969, your BOD decided to ratify new P.S.I.A. by-laws and join P.S.I.A. as a division. Later, upon finding that the by-laws presented there were fictitious, your BOD rescinded the ratification. At the direction of the P.S.I.A. Board, their office was moved from Salt Lake to Denver and in September '70 started to issue some communications. At a meeting on September 19 and 20 in Denver, which was not attended by an I.S.I.A. rep, all divisions except ISlA and USEA join­ed. At a meeting December 1 and 2, 1970 at Vail, Colo. USEA joined leaving ISlA the only holdout. Max Lundberg attended this Vail meeting as ISlA rep. At that meeting, and until April 1971, ISlA will be allowed a PSIA Board member with a full vote. At the instruc­tion of President Parkinson, Max asked PSI A to send a rep to our BOD meeting December 5 and 6 to explain the PSIA situation to us. Mr. Hank Emery, Denver office manager and Director of PSIA reported to our BOD: ~'That PSIA was now financially solvent with all ob­ligations paid in full and a cash surplus. *That the Interski program was progressing finan­cially independent of PSIA general fund and will be able to send a team to Europe. When questioned as to future plans, Hank informed us that there were no plans other than Interski & Naslc II. At the Vail meet, Willy Schaeffler resigned and Judge Jimmy Johnston was elected interim President until the next general meeting in April 1971. Hank further ex­plained that when a new President is elected, some new programming would probably be started. Your BOD is constantly aware that we are facing a prob­lem of whether to participate as a division or not. Your President has appointed a special study group to keep the BOD informed of latest developments in the PSIA situation. Time will tell whether we are wise to sit out. We may continue to be an ugly duckling but we may evolve into a beautiful snow white swan some thousands of dollars richer. If you have some feelings regarding ISlA's position would you please discuss it with any Officer or BOD member. He will welcome your views. -- Lou Lorenz 4 ISLA Booth at the Salt LaQe S~ and Winte.tr. Spotr.:t6 Show, manned by Matr.v Ca;., ey and Bill Ha;.,~n6. Ski School Directors join Certification Committee Juniotr. BounoUh, Cetr.ti6i~ation Committee Membetr.. Junior Bounous, Sundance, and Dean Roberts, Solitude, are now members of the Certification Committee. Both of these directors are well respected and will contri­bute enormously to the Committee. Phil Jones, Certification Chairman, appointed Dean and Junior in the hope that in addition to providing exper­ienced council to certification, they would open a chan­nel of communication to the Ski School Directors Commit­tee. Junior is Chairman of the Ski School Directors Committee and his dual responsibility should benefit both committees. Both Dean and Junior have examined for years. Junior is a "technical contributing editor" to one of the national ski magazines. Both are active in the jun­ior racing programs and Dean just returned from Vail from the Nastar Pacesetter Races. I.S.I.A. Board of Directors Meet On December 5th and 6th, 1970, your Board of Directors met and transacted business that will be of interest to all of you. Although you will receive copies of the minutes of that meeting, let me highlight for you the proceedings of the meetings. All of you will be happy to learn that after an inves­tigation of credentials, Pepi Steigler, Director of the Ski School at Jackson Hole has become a member of our Association. Pepi has shown a willingness to use his talents and time on behalf of the Association by parti­cipation in past clinics as well as serving as one of the selectors for the demonstration team picked on December 5th. The Board of Directors felt it expedient to pay the out­of- pocket expenses for Max Lundberg's participation in Interski in the event the American team's budget does not cover them. Max was further presented with an award of a past President's ring for his service as President of the Association for the past two years. The Board anticipates that a past President's ring, identical to the rings now worn by Lou Lorenz and Max Lundberg, will be presented to future Presidents of I.S.I.A. upon their retirement as President. A special plaque was given to Keith Lange of our Asso­ciation for his long service in and for the Association. Keith has been a member of the Board of Directors for 12 years and his date of certification goes way back to the early days of certification in our Association. Your secretary does not remember an award of this nature having been given in the Association in the past and feels that Keith is a deserving recipient of such an award. The Board of Directors and the membership of the Association will continue to look to Keith for com­ment and help in the matters of the Association. To facilitate the new policy of direct mail election of Directors of the Association, a standing committee of elections and nominations has been set up with Lou Lor­enz as Chairman. An old committee, known in the Asso­ciation as the publicity committee, will now also be re-vamped and referred to as the communications commit­tee and will be under the chairmanship of Dave Chaplin. This years clinic committee intends to hold three or a maximum of four I.S.I.A. sponsored clinics in smaller outlaying areas. Individual Ski Schools should request who they would like to have conduct such a clinic and also specify the place and time. There will be no charge for these clinics and the clinic committee will make every effort to put on clinics as specified by the individual Ski Schools. Hank Emery from P.S.I.A., also attended the ISlA Board meeting and discussed the present status of P.S.I.A. and answered questions from the Board. Your Secretary is currently Chairman of the P.S.I.A. study group and would welcome any comments the membership may have re­garding our adoption of P.S.I.A. by-laws. It is my unaerstanding at this time that all of the Ski Instruc­tor Divisions have joined P.S.I.A. with the exception of Intermountain. 5 The Demonstration Team try-outs on Saturday were a great success and the selection was very difficult to make considering the caliber of skiers who tried out. The examiners clinic held on Sunday evidenced some im­portant changes in the certification policy for the coming year. Your area representatives have been sent the written changes in the policy and it is the view of your Secretary that while certification is relying on past experience for stability, it is changing with the times. See you on the hill. Edwin J. Pond, Secretary ISlA Ed Pond, ISlA Se~~etahy Night Skiing Party in February Next February 5, the ISlA will hold a night skiing party for all Certified and Registered members and their partners. What does the Association do for me? How about a party? BILuc.e MOM e Corky Fowler, Pepi Steigler and Bruce Morse are Guest Demo Team Judges These three men, who have in their three different ways established themselves as outstanding skiing personalities were invited to Park City as judges for the ISlA Demonstration Team tryouts. It was my pleas­ure to talk to each of them about what they thought of skiing and ski teaching. Corky Fowler, a very young looking but hard skiing man was the first to talk with me. Corky is 26 years old, and in that short time has come to the attention of the "In-Skiing" world, primarily by virtue of his mem­bership on the Hart Demonstration Team. At the age of 15, Corky explained, he decided to be­come a professional skier. Corky did not go the usual­ly spectacular route toward this goal - through racing­but began as a ski teacher finally teaching for 5 years at Sun Valley. Corky is now living in Sun Valley, building a house, and is engaged as Winter Sports Director for the Calico Resort Hotel on the Warm Springs side of Sun Valley's ski complex. Corky's ideas on skiing came pouring forth when I asked him what he thought of the skiing of the instructors trying out for the team. Among his many ideas about ,,,hat skiing is was his comment that, first, you learn to get down the mountain, then you learn how to ski. That a skier's "form" derives from what he is doing, not from an externally imposed set of standards. That a minimum of energy should be expended in skiing. "If you can accomplish a maneuver without an up or down, why not?" Individualism is a trait of the skier which Corky holds in very high regard. Pepi Steigler, currently the Ski School Director at Teton Village in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is a name fam­iliar to most members of the ISlA. Pepi has been our guest at Alta Spring Clinics. He is a Gold Medal Win­ner and is one of the most spectacular skiers in the Intermountain area. 6 When asked what he thought of our Demonstration Team idea, he responded that he considered it a good pro­gram, particularly in that it gives the young ski in­structor something to point toward - a goal. He also suggested that the quality of skiing demonstrated by all the aspirants was very good. It is always a privilege to have a skier of Pepi's stature involved in our activities. Bruce Morse may not be a familiar name to all, but this young (23 years old) man has a very complete background in the ski world. Bruce is originally from New Hamp­shire, from which he :uoved to Denver where he spent seven years. While in Denver he skied on the Denver University Ski Team coached by Willy Schaeffler. Bruce still holds a Class A racer's card. For four seasons Bruce ski patroled in Portillo, Chile. He has also skied with Othmar Schneider and Egon Zimmer­man in race programs. Bruce is currently living in Park City, and is working as a representative for Lange/Dynamic. Like Pepi, Bruce thinks that one of the major benefits of the ISlA Team is to give the beginning instructor something besides certification to aspire to. Bruce has some very direct and pointed remarks about skiing in general and ski instructors' skiing. Suffice it to say that he would encourage a greater degree of variety in skiing - more life in ski turns. It was most enjoyable to talk to these exceptional skiers. Their ideas are something which I believe we ski instructors should hear and share, and perhaps it should not go without suggesting that we might have something of interest for them. Thank you Gentlemen. Dave Chaplin Skyline Ski School News Skyline Ski School Director, E. Glenn Evans, reports on a few decisions made during the school's fall business meeting: The old lodge at Skyline Ski Area has been turned over to the ski school and the ski patrol. A partition has been installed to separate the two. The possibility of hiring a receptionist for the Bchool was discussed. Assistant Directors appointed for the season are: Roger Roche, Eldon Scott and Darrell Scott, with Al Ellis as Publicity Director. Roger Roche will head the Instructors Training Program, which will get under way on December 17th. Darrell Scott will head the 15th annual Pocatello Ski Association, Learn-to-Ski Program. This is the 7th consecutive year in which Skyline Ski School has direc­ted the program. Eldon Scott will handle the Idaho State University Ski Program. This will begin at the start of the second semester and will be available to rank beginners and up, through the I.S.U. racing class. Roger Roche and Al Ellis will start a new program called the Ski Masters, which will be open to anyone interested in ski competition; but not at hair-raising speeds. It is hoped that teams will be formed in the areas of Idaho, Wyoming and Utah and that these teams will compete in ski school maneuvers, up through "trick-skiing" (simila!: to figure skating competition). -- Al Ellis CERTI FI ED "COUPLES" TEACH AT BEAVER MOUNTAIN From left to right: Frank Gillette, Director, Lorna Gillette, Bill Nash, Assistant Director, Lois Nash, Bette Kotter, Dave Kotter, Lydia Underwood and Gene Underwood are the married couples working for Frank Gillette at Beaver Mountain. Not only is Frank's ski school noted for married coup­les but of the 35 instructors teaching at Beaver, 26 are certified. Frank has done an outstanding job in training his instructors for certification and has to­day one of the largest number of certified ski teachers in his ski school in the Association. Frank has just recently been elected to the ISlA BOD and has been appointed to the post of Awards Committee Chair­man. Frank presented to the BOD a program which would award to a Ski School Director who this season certifies and registers the most individuals in his school, the award of "Ski School Director of the Year." The propo­sal was adopted, and Ski School Directors watch out! Frank just might win his own award!!! 7 Vave Chaplin, Commui'Uc.aUoY/J.J ChaVrman. Communication Chairman New Committee ~ New Chairman Dave Chaplin is back again as your Newsletter Editor. The job is now a different situation than it was be­fore. It has become a part of the Communications Com­mittee. This committee is a new development of the Association. ISlA President, Clark Parkinson suggested to the Board of Directors at their last meeting that the new commit­tee be created to replace the Publicity Committee (of which Dave has been the chairman since September's sem­inar in Burley) and the Newsletter Committee. The rea­sons for which these committees were brought together are these: 1. The Publicity Committee was charged with the respon­sibility of communicating "ith both the general ski­ing pub lic and wi th the ISlA membership. 2. David Chaplin has held the responsibility of News­letter Editor in the past. He was the first News­letter Editor when the Newsletter was inaugurated in the fall of 1967. 3. The Newsletter has been for several months without an Editor. It seemed, therefore, in light of Dave's assignment and experience in the area of communication, art pro­duction and the Association, that the two jobs should be brought together. Aside from the newsletter type of communication, some of the plans developed for the new committee are in the form of publicizing the ISlA and what certified ski instruction means to the general skiing public. The first effort in this direction was the booth at the Salt Lake Ski and Winter Sports Show, manned by members of the ISlA. The next positive step toward informing the public of ISlA activities, was the filmed report on television of the tryouts of the ISlA Demonstration Team. The production of posters (which were designed by Dave) will be the next item for promoting the ISlA. These posters which will tell skiers to "Look for the Badge" will be placed in selected ski shops and other busi­nesses which might be considered a good place to show them. Dave says, "We have a number of other ideas to bring the message of certified ski lessons to the public, and to bring interesting and meaningful Association news to the membership. One of the most often men­tioned needs of the Association has been better com­munication. I think that we can, with the help of the great people in all the ski schools of the Association, spread and share the word." IC ERTIFIE-ID. SS. KI. I AT.

It is called the Sunnyside Lift and it parallels the present Albion lift. It serves the same area as the Albion lift, but it should lighten the load on Albion experienced in the morning because of long groups taking beginning les­sons and skiers going to Sugarloaf that must use Albion. The Alf Engen Ski School is also growing, adding 20 new apprentice instructors to their teaching staff. The apprentice program has been intensified this year with more formal clinics and training sessions in an effort to certify as many instructors as possible their first year. They have their own parkas this year, blue with a red stripe and receive the familiar red parkas with blue stripes upon certification. Four instructors from the Alf Engen Ski School have been named to the ISlA Demonstration Team for the 1970-71 season. They are: Gene Christiansen, Sid Jensen, Marv Casey and Keith Lange.

A Reorganizati?n Study Group, appointed by the Board of D~rectors at the Spring Clinic s~ent the summer designing a new more effec: t~ve structure for the Association. The Study Grou~ presented ~heir ideas to a joint Board of D~rectors, Sk~ School Directors and Past Presidents at a business meeting in Bur­ley, Id~ho this fall. After implementing suggest~ons from the Ski School Directors and Past Presidents, the Board of Directors ap­proved the report and gave the officers the authority to implement the new organization. FIRST CHANGE IN 20 YEARS It was very obvious to anyone involved in I.S.I.A. business that the old President, Secretary-Treasurer and Vice President struc­ture was less than efficient and the bulk of the ~ork and responsibility was, by necessity, carr~ed by the President. This resulted in ~ ~ack.of long range planning and the Cert­~ f~cat~on and Technical areas were neglected by the President. WILL PROVIDE TRAINING GROUND This.new organization will not only give ~he Pr~s7dent much needed support, but will ~n add~t~on, provide a greater opportunity for members to get involved and take jobs who heretofore were not involved. It has also enabled several "old timers" to parti­cipate once again. Most important, this change has given us all an opportunity to wipe the slate clean forget old differences and work together t;­war? s a truly effective professional organi­zat~ on. . There are still plenty of jobs to be f~lled. If you have an interest in a par­ticular area, speak out. We can use your help. This reorganization will only be ef­fective if we all pitch in and go to work. Bonnie Pond is New Executive Secretary The position of Executive Secretary has been expanded in scope and responsib­ility and a well qualified member of our Association has been selected to fill the position. Most of you know Bonnie Pond is a fully certified member of our Association and represented I.S.I.A. as well as the United States on the 8th Interski Team. She taught almost 5 seasons on a full time basis at Alta and currently teaches week­ends there. She has been active in the Association also as an area representative for the I.S.I.A. Newsletter. Many of you may not know that for the last two years she has been employed in her husband's law office as a legal secretary and is a Notary Public. Hence with her skiing and law office background, Bonnie comes to this new position well prepared. Bonnie has moved the I.S.I.A. office into her home at 7234 Jonathon Circle, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. Please take note that the new I.S.I.A. phone number is 801-278-0562. She indicates that phone calls regarding I.S,I.A. and its affairs are welcome and will be taken from 8:30 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. STAFF EDITORIAL DIRECTOR ........

Bonnie Pond BURLEY MEETING On the week-end of September 18th & 19th, the Board of Directors, Ski School Directors and Past Presidents met for two days in a series of business meetings. The proposed Reorganization of I.S.I.A. (See Fred Finlinson's article) in a form approved by the Executive Committee was pre­sented to the Ski School Directors and Board of Directors who approved it. The following individuals were appointed to the following Vice Presidential positions: Administrative Vice President Certification Vice President Technical Vice President Communications Vice President Edwin Pond Phil Jones Max Lundberg Fred Finlinson An important part of the reorganization was the appointment of an Executive Secretary (See article on Bonnie Pond) to staff the business end of the Association. also of interest was the processing of several Sun Valley instructors into the Assoc­iation after a credentials check. I.S.I.A. is one of the few, if not the only Division to grant membership without certification exams to instructors from other countries whose credentials justify such action. This brief article outlines the consum­mation of many hours of summer time spent on the above. Looking forward to seeing you this winter on the slopes. - - Edwin Pond PARK CITY RESORT EXPANDS-STEIN TOO! Look for a number of significant changes at Park City Resort this season. Among these are three new double chairlifts, expanded indoor facilities and a bunch of new runs most of which are still un­named. Besides increasing the up-hill capacity of the resort the new owners, who have named their organization the Greater Park City Company, have brought in Stein Eriksen, former world champion and popularizer of the forward somer­sault on skis. 3 Junior Bounous Ski School Director at Snowbird Junior Bow-,ous has been named Ski School Director of Snowbird by General Manager Ted Johnson. Junior returns to Little Cottonwood Can­yon with an impressive list of accomplish­ments. He started skiing when he was ten and won every Intermountain Ski Championship pos­sible during the 1940's and '50's. He taught for Alf Engen at Alta for ten years pioneer­ing powder snow teaching techniques. He headed the ski school at Sugar Bowl, California, dev­eloping it into one of the finest in the west. In 1960, he coached slalom and downhill for the Australian Olympic Team. And, in 1965 he re­turned to his native Provo, Utah to direct the ski school at Timp Haven which later became Robert Redford's Sundance. Junior is truly an inspiration to 1. S. LA. ~2mbers as well as to the entire ski industry. SNOWBIRD OPENS The grand opening of Snowbird will be Dec­ember 11th with combined facilities able to handle 4,600 skiers per hour on every con­ceivable type of terrain. The jigback-type tram (one car going up simultaneously with a car coming down) carries 120 persons in each cabin to the top of 11,000 foot Hidden Peak in just six minutes. The length of travel is nearly 8,400 feet with a vertical rise of 2,900 feet. With all that Snowbird has to offer, it will certainly be exciting to tour and ski. 4 PHIL JONES GARCIA SKI INSTRUCTOR OF THE YEAR THE RE-ORGANIZATION STORY The Association was incorporated 20 years ago when the membership was approximately 20. Today the membership is closer to 700; however, the organization governing the Association has remained basically the same. When the Associa­tion was confronted with a new need, another committee was formed to fill the gap. As a re­sult, the Association was being run by committees with no one individual having specific respon­sibility, and the President seeming to be in charge of every committee. The above chaos required action and the Board of Directors at the May 2, 1971 meeting directed the President to draft a Reorganiza­tional Plan. The following members were assigned to the task: Clark T. Parkinson, Edwin Pond, Lou Lorenz and Fred Finlinson. These people got into more than they bargained for: Stormy brainstorm­ing sessions, reorganizational conceptual differ­ences, and even a philabuster. Finally a draft was presented on August 12, 1971 to the Execu­tive Committee which finally granted approval at 12:45 A.M. The approved draft was then pre­sented to the Board of Directors and the Ski School Directors at the summitt meeting in Bur­ley, Idaho and was approved on September 19, 1971. The Reorganization Plan embodies a basic management approach; i.e. functional analysis. The functional aspects of the Association can now be allocated into four basic categories: Certification, Technical, Administrative and Communication. The organizational structure of the Association now assigns individual functions to departments, departments are assigned to divi- Phil Jones, I.S.I.A. Certification Vice President and Park City Ski School Director, was named "Ski Instructor of the Year" by the Garcia Ski and Tennis Corp­oration at the North American Ski Instruc­tors Congress in Va'il, Colorado on April 17th. Phil's name was submitted by Presi­dent Clark Parkinson at a Divisions Presi­dents Meeting at Vail. Each Division sub­mitted their selection to the Garcia rep­resentatives prior to the announcement. 2nd YEAR OF CONTEST Last year, Gordon West, P.N.W.S.I.A. (formerly of I.S.I.A.) was selected. Phil participated on the 7th & 8th Interski teams, his activities in I.S.I.A. - Chief Examiner, Vice President, etc. and his efforts with his Ski School were the determining fac­tors in this years selection. We are very proud of Phil and appreciate his efforts on behalf of I.S.I.A. and the recognition we all gain by his achievements. THE DIVISIONAL VICE PRESIDENTS Ed Pond, Fred W. Finlinson, Max Lundberg, Phil Jones and President Clark Parkinson sions and divisions report directly to the Pres­ident' and the President reports directly to the Board of Directors. Thus the President, the Chief Executive Officer, will now be able to oversee all aspects of the Association and avoid the pitfall of being emersed by admini­strative detail to the point that he cannot direct the total movement of the Association. The Division Vice Presidents are in the process of developing departmental job de­scriptions, staffing and implementing the reorganization. The reorganization also provides the Board with access to some of the best wisdom in the Association by the creation of Advisory Councils for the Ski School Direc­tors and the Past Presidents. Each council met at the Burley Summitt Conference and vig­orously supported this reorganization. In summary, the Association has been re­organized on a functional operation basis, with the main operating divisions being Cer­tification, Technical, Administrative, and Communication. The reorganization strengthens the policy role of the Board, yet gives offi­cers the responsibility and authority to ex­ecute delegated assignments. The plan pro­vides for meaningful descriptions of each function of the Association and is based on the premise that each valid function should be assigned to an Association officer or mem­ber with the responsibility to assure the successful completion of each function. - - Fred Finlinson DAVID CHAPLIN NEWSLETTER EDITOR AGAIN I.S.I.A. is growing and so is the amount of news in the Association.

The location will depend on snow depths at that time and will be announced later. EMPHASIS ON CERTIFICATION The Certification and Technical Committees will conduct the full-day on-the-hill session. The primary purpose will be certification preparation. Members will be grouped accord­ing to certification status. The three levels: Registered, Associate and Full will receive instruction geared to their particular inter­est and abilities, including examiner training for the fully certified. The Demo Team will be utilized as tech­nical demonstrators and will assist the group leaders who will be members that have examined in the past year. GENERAL MEETING AND COCTAIL PARTY Saturday, December 11th, the Annual Mem­bership Meeting will be held. Reports from the officers and committee chairmen will be given. Also awards will be presented to the I.S.I.A. Ski Instructor and Ski School Direct­or of the Year. A coctai1 party sponsored by Brunswick Ski Company will be held immediately after. NASI 5 II The 2nd North American Ski Instructors Congress held at Vail is now past history. Those who presented demonstrations during the Congress are home working on still better methods of skiing and teaching. N.A.S.I.C. II made two things very plain. We all know that G.L.M. methods with their variations are here for more than a short stay and that skiing is a sport with a large number of acceptable forms. Pioneers of the short ski approach to teaching like Cliff Taylor have now been joined by Ski School Directors from every corner of the skiing world who declare that G.L.M. is teachings ultimate tool. G.L.M. teaching programs run through a large spec­trum, from Tay10r t s direct parallel to Vail's swoops or standard teaching approach. G.L.M. is here and now stuff to which every thinking instructor should give serious consideration. Never have we seen more freedom and vari­ation in skiing forms than demonstrated by those participating in N.A.S.I.C. II. Each team demonstrated the willingness that ski teachers are exhibiting to reach out for new concepts while reserving the right to use maneuvers that were in vogue 20 years ago. Very few skiing concepts seem to be right all of the time, while many concepts are considered right some of the time. N.A.S.I.C. II shows that we are indeed willing to expand the concepts of skiing and ski teaching. Our expanded ideas should en­able instructors to become real ski teachers. - - Max Lundberg John Morgan, I.S.I.A. member and teacher for the K. Smith Ski School at Brighton, was fatally injured last summer in an accident. We wish to extend our sympath­ies to his family and friends. AWARDS COMMITTEE 1971-72 Again this year, Ski School Directors will be asked to submit their choice for Ski Instructor of the year. I.S.I.A. will, through the Awards Committee, make a selec­tion and if Garcia has a contest he or she will be submitted to them. In any event, an I.S.I.A. Award will be presented again this year at the Spring Clinic. 6 Keith Lange Named New Demo Team Coach Ed Pond ALF ENGEN Named to Utah Sports Hall of Fame 428 So.

SNOWBIRD OPENS The grand opening of Snowbird will be Dec ­ember 11th with combined faci lities ab l e to handle 4,600 skiers per hour on every con­ceivable type of terrain . The jigback- type tram (one car going up, simultaneously with a car coming down) carrLes 120 persons in each cabin to the top of 11,000 foot Hidden Peak in jus t six minutes. The l ength of travel is nearly 8,400 feet with a ver tical rise of 2,900 feet. With a ll tha t Snowbird has to offer , i t will certainly be exciting to tour and ski. 4 PHIL JONES GARCIA SKI INSTRUCTOR OF THE YEAR THE RE-ORGANIZATION STORY The Association was incorporated 20 years ago when the membership was approximately 20. Today the membership is closer t o 700; however, t he organization governing the Association has remained basically the same. When the Associa­tion was confronted with a new need, another committee was formed to fill t he gap. As a re­sult, the Association was being r un by committees with no one individual having specific respon­sibility, and the President seeming to be in charge of every committee . The above chaos required action and the Board of Directors at the May 2, 1971 meeting directed the President to draf t a Reorganiza­tional Plan. The following members were assigned to the task: Clark T. Parkinson, Edwin Pond, Lou Lorenz and Fred Finlinson. These people got into more than they bargained for: Stormy brainstorm­ing sessions, reorganizational conceptual differ­ences, and even a philabuster. Finally a draft was presented on August 12, 1971 to the Execu­tive Committee which finally granted approval at 12:45 A.M. The approved draft was then pre­sented to the Board of Directors and the Ski School Directors at the summitt meeting in Bur­ley, Idaho and was approved on September 19, 1971. The Reorganization Plan embodies a basic management approach; i . e . func t ional analysis. The functional aspects of t he Association can now be allocated into four basic categories: Certification, Technical, Administrative and Communication. The organizati onal structure of t he Association now assigns i ndividual functions t o departments, departments are assigned to divi- Phil Jones, I.S.I .A. Certificat ion Vice President and Park City Ski School Director, was named "Ski Instruct or of t he Year" by the Garcia Ski and Tennis Corp­oration at the North American Ski Instruc ­tors Congress in Va1il, Colorado on April 17th. Phil's name was submitted by Presi­dent Clark Parkinson at a Divisions Presi­dents Meeting at Vail. Each Division sub­mitted their selection to the Garcia rep ­resentatives prior to the announcement. 2nd YEAR OF CONTEST Last year, Gordon West, P.N .W.S . I .A. (formerly of I.S.I.A. ) was selected. Phil participated on the 7th & 8th Interski teams, his activities in I.S . I.A. - Chief Examiner, Vice President, etc. and his efforts with his Ski School were the determining fac ­tors in this years selection. We are very proud of Phil and appreciate his efforts on behalf of I.S.I.A. and the recognition we al l gain by his achievements. THE DIVISIONAL VICE PRESIDENTS Ed Pond, Fred W. Finlinson, Max Lundberg, Phil Jones and President Clark Parkinson sions and divisions report directly to the Pres ­ident'and the President reports directly to t he Board of Directors . Thus the President, t he Chief Executive Officer, will now be able to oversee all aspects of the Association and avoid the pitfall of being emersed by admini­strative detail to the point that he cannot direct the total movement of the Association. The Division Vice Presidents are in t he process of developing departmental job de­scriptions, staffing and implementing the reorganization. The reorganization also provides the Board with access to some of the best wisdom in the Association by the creat ion of Advisory Councils for the Ski School Direc­tors and the Past Presidents . Each council met at the Burley Summitt Conference and vig­orously supported this reorganization. In summary, the Association has been re­organized on a functional operation basis, with the main operating divisions being Cer­tification, Technical, Administrative, and Communication. The reorganization strengthens the policy role of the Board, yet gives offi­cers the responsibility and authority to ex­ecute delegated assignments. The plan pro­vides for meaningful descriptions of each function of the Association and is based on the premise that each valid function shou l d be assigned to an Association officer or mem­ber with the responsibility to assure t he successful completion of each function. - - Fred Finlinson DAVID CHAPLIN NEWSLETTER EDITOR AGAIN I.S.I.A. is growing and so is the amount of news in the Association.

EMPHASIS ON CERTIFICATION The Certification and Technical Committees will conduct the full -day on- t he - hill session . The primary purpose will be certification preparation. Members will be grouped accord­ing to certification s tatus. The three levels: Registered, Associate and Full will receive instruction geared to their part icular inter­est and abilities, including examiner training for the fully certified . The Demo Team will be utilized as tech­nical demonstrators and will assist the group leaders who will be members that have examined in the past year . GENERAL MEETING AND COCTAIL PARTY Saturday, December 11th, the Annual Mem­bership Meeting will be held. Reports from the officers and committee chairmen will be given. Also awards will be presented to the I . S.I.A. Ski Instructor and Ski School Direct­or of the Year. A coctail party sponsored by Brunswick Ski Company will be held immediately after . NASIC 5 II The 2nd North American Ski Instructors Congress held at Vail is now past history. Those who presented demonstrations during the Congress are home working on still better methods of skiing and teaching. N.A.S. I.C. II made two things very plain. We all know that G.L.M. methods with their variations are here for more than a short stay and that skiing is a sport with a large number of acceptable forms. Pioneers of the short ski approach to teaching like Cliff Taylor have now been joined by Ski School Directors from every corner of the skiing world who declare that G.L .M. is teachings ultimate tool. G.L. M. teaching programs run through a large spec­trum, from Taylorts direct parallel to Vail's swoops or standard teaching approach . G. L.M. is here and now stuff to which every thinking instructor should give serious consideration . Never have we seen more freedom and vari­ation in skiing forms than demonstrated by those participating in N.A.S.I.C. II. Each team demonstrated the willingness that ski teachers are exhibiting to reach out for new concepts while reserving the right to use maneuvers that were in vogue 20 years ago. Very few skiing concepts seem to be right all of the time, while many concepts are considered right some of the time. N.A. S.I .C. II shows that we are indeed willing to expand the concepts of skiing and ski t eaching. Our expanded ideas should en­able instructors to become real ski teachers. - - Max Lundberg John Morgan, I.S.I.A. member and teacher for the K. Smith Ski School at Brighton, was fatally injured last summer in an accident. We wish to extend our sympath­ies to his family and friends. AWARDS COMMITTEE 1971-72 Again this year, Ski School Directors will be asked to submi t their choice for Ski Ins tructor of the year. I.S.I.A. will, through the Awards Committee, make a selec­tion and if Garcia has a contest he or she will be submitted to them . In any event , an I.S.I.A. Award will be presented again this year at the Spring Clinic. .L..L.. « Z W C> Z w (],) E ro u.. '- 0 --ro :c ...V.....J.. 0 0.. If) ..c .r..o... :J .0.... . "'0 (],) E ro z c u ca "'CO Q)(..)
