Ski School Don Rhinehart, Sun Valley Ski School Chairman Junior Bounous called the meeting to order at 1:20 PM at the Alta Inn, April 22, 1966. The Secretary confessed that he had lost the minutes from the last meeting held at Park City and gave apologies. The deletion of the requirement for certified instructors from the Special Use Permit was discussed. Unanimous approval was expressed. The anticipated problem of a decrease in participation in the certification program apparently did not exist. Don Rhinehart reported that 162 candidates had taken the exam this year as compared to 142 last year. Motion (Zeigler-Engen) that we as Ski School Directors unanimously feel it has operated better and that we have the cooperation of major ski schools giving incentive to certified instructors. It is upholding certification better than before. No vote called for. The Secretary was asked to draw up a resolution with a letter regarding this special use permit for the Forest Service. Resolution: We, the Ski School Directors Committee, unanimously condone the deletion of the requirements for Certified Ski Instructors from the U. S. Forest Service Special Use Permit, in that since such deletion, our relationship with operators has improved. And further, than an increase in participation in the Certification program has occurred. Ski School - Area Operator - Relationship: It was suggested that the Intermountain Ski Area Operators Association be invited to PSIA Convention at Sun Valley, in that their attendance at our convention was impossible since the dates were the same. Next year they will be invited to ISlA Convention by both personal invitation from the Ski School Directors and formal invitation through our respective administrations. Roger Haran (Park City) is representing ISIA this weekend at Jackson at the ISAOA meeting. For the record,the Ski School Directors are very concerned with the relationship with area operators and would like to continue a good relationship with them. President Lou Lorenz explained to the group about the consideration of certifying only for the white pin. Some of the points he mentioned were: (1) The great membership increase presents problems in handling number in volume; (2) the standards for associate now are high and some will never achieve associate and yet they could be good teachers; Minutes - Ski School Directors Meeting Page 1f2 (3) E.astern certifies for full only and is very successful in their program, half of PSIA members are from the East; (4) In the West associate used to fill the requirements of the Forest Service Special Use Permit and now there is no longer a requirement for certified instructors, there is no longer a requirement for the second level; (5) Associate pins or the level would not be taken away or be unrecognized, ISIA would just stop examining for associate. Much discussion followed. Advantages mentioned: An uncertified individual could join ISlA and benefit from its mailings, etc. For membership he would be required to have a First Aid card, turn in an avalanche report and be subject to the ethical requirements. He would be subject to examination after a certain amount of time. Emphasis would be placed on educational clinics for the neophite ski teacher, rather than so many exams, Likewise our source of revenue for operating would be shifted to clinics. With over 15,000 uncertified people teaching skiing we could raise their standards. This method would put more emphasis on teaching experience which is most important. Disadvantages mentioned: Not examining for associate may take away an incentive for the neophite ski teacher to achieve competance in that some ski teachers who are good teachers recognize they will never have the ability to achieve the high standards of Fully Certified. Others may be discouraged and not work toward a goal that appears far above their present ability. Those not having associate rating could still be non-voting members of the organization so their education and interest could be raised by this organization. Many ski schools have faithfully sold their instruction be it fully certified or associate. Their business may be cut by recreation program schools (Deseret News, Davis County, Etc.) if no differential is made between the completely untrained and the associate instructor. The fact that of 162 persons taking the exam this year only one was able to achieve fully certified would be discouraging. Personnel Cooperation: Ski School Directors should cooperate with regard to informing each other of undesirable instructors who they terminate. This will eliminate the shifting from job to job of the instructor who will not accept responsibility, is incompetent, undisciplined, etc. Insurance: P.S.I.A. Member ski schools have available an attractive liability insurance which the premium is based on number of instructors. Hartford Insurance also offers a liability plan which may be attractive to weekend ski schools in that the premium is based on a percent of gross sales. Pepi Steigler who is not certified had been asked and invited to attend ISlA's Clinic. Motion (Lash-Zeigler) to make K. Smith new Ski School Director Chairman. Zeigler moved we accept K. Smith by acclamation. Carried. There will be a Fall Directors meeting and K. Smith invited the group to meet at his guest ranch near West Yellowstone. Moved to adjourn (Zeigler-Redd). Carried.

A review of the mi.nut.es of this meeting dated June 13, 1965, that in addition to the appointment, there were no activities reported from the committee at that time. Many committee meetings were held, however, I have received no copy of minutes from the Ski Teaching Commi.ttee. I received an excerpt from the minutes of the council in Oslo, February 18, 1966 whi.:.h stated the principles involved concerning traveling expenses for members of technical committees. These, in substance 1 state that the associ.ation proposing a candidate for a committee thereby undertakes the obligation to meet the traveling and hotel expenses incurred by the member in question when he attends meetings of the committee or of the council. -5- Following the appointment, I received corresponde~ce from Stanley Mullin advising me that I would be con~:acted by the committee chairman with regard to my duties.

PSIA Annual Convention Sun Valleyo Idaho May 14, 1966 There is an old Austrian saying used by Hannes Schneider, "Gray is all theory but the grayest the one about the ski." This saying seems to be as true today as 30 years ago. Let's not become too technlcal in our discussions. Being technical is only a means to an end or to achieve a finished form. Today in our ski schools not enough emphasis is placed upon methods and skiing. In my visits to ski schools around the country it is a universal observation that often there is too much talk and not enough skiing. Remember, one learns by doing - by practice and not by listening. As the coach said, IIIf you are going to learn to swim you must get wet." In many areas people are not returning to ski schools - they are not coming back. One apparent reason is they are not getting enough skiing. If c1 clear separation of methods from finished forms is achieved and from theory progress can be maintained. Let's not lose ourselves in technical arguments and discussions. Place technique and theory in their proper respective positions. Theory and technique are only foundations like math and physics are to an engineer. Being an expert in the field of mathematics does not necessarily make one a good engineer. As Professor Kruckenhauser stated yesterday at the end of the technical committee discussion, "If the uphill christie is the only problem the PSIA has they are in pretty good shape." The fact is that PSIA does have more important considerations. Let's evaluate PSIA and the divisions. What can PSIA do and what can't it dOoWhat can the divislons do in the overall retrospect and what canOt they do. Thirty years ago there were no certified instructors in the United States except for a few licensed European teachers. Today there are a little less than 3,000 certified and associate instructors who are current and in good standing in the United States. Yet, in excess of 15,000 people are engaged ln ski teaching. These people are teaching either on an amateur status, a trainee, apprentice status -1= within a professional school, etc. This over-balance of non-certified instructors over certified instructors presents many problems. The first - in the future it is going to be difficult to keep the certification standard high. We must keep the high standard of certification. It is high now in all divislons, Yet, many individual divisions are still showing jealousies of each other and criticizing each others certification programs. It slmply is not true that the East has a better program than the West. Or that the Eastern skiers cannot ski powder - and the Western skiers cannot ski ice. Instructors are the same in all divisions. The standard of examination and their technical performance is equally hlgh in all areas of the United States. Letus put our efforts into positive use. Let's maintain the high standard. Similarly let's keep the image of the ski instructor in the eyes of the public. The ski instructor image is an important consideration that we often forget. The ski teaching profession must meet the needs of the future. In the United States within ten years the divisions will be examining '=',000 teachers a year as compared with approximately 1200 today. Because of these high numbers of candidates the pressure will be upon the ski teaching profession to drop the certification standards. This drop will be presented as a way to meet the demand for new instructors. We cannot let this happen. There will be pressures to have a classification below the assoclate instructor rating; to have an apprentice-associate. Or to have different colored badges to allow teachers to teach different rn~neuvers of the class system. The profession cannot let these influences cause a drop in the high standards that now exist. The divisions must pull together to meet the demands for new instructors. Probably the most single dominate problem in the United States ski teaching field today is the need for new instructors. Recruitment and training is a problem of all ski school directors in all divisions. The divisions need to establish technical coordinating conunittees at the division level. These are needed to provide task forces and to make it possible for traveling instructors' courses. The divisions need to establish division demonstration teams. These teams are needed to educate the public to help the ski schools in outlying areas and to provide publicity. The weakest area of all the divisions and PSIA is that of public relations and pUblicity. The United States Eastern Professional Association is the only division that has emplemented a demonstration team. The Eastern is doing a good job under chalrman, Stephen Sherlock. They have presented demonstrations at ski areas, at the ski shows and have received a remarkable amount of publicity of TV, newspapers and in Eastern journals. The Eastern demonstration team also has enabled the Eastern -2~ professionals to provide good publicity about certificationo The divisions of the United States should look at what the Eastern demon"" stration team is doing. The divisions must do a better job of communication within the divi"" siono their own division, and among other divisions, The divisions and PSTA must look for assistance from the large ski schools. The large schools like Sigi Engl Q s school here in S'tjfl Valley and Curt Chase 8 s in Aspen are an important part of the profession and they cannot be overlooked 0 The division organizations must provide cou.rses for examiners. This is necessary to meet the del~,JL1Js for t:rained g experienced examiners, and to meet the larg-e demands of t.:le cert ification in the future. The di yisions in their relationship to PSIA must provide tlle talent and the informationo PSIA Cd,H only help. The hard diligent work needs to be done at the di vision le~/el '.Mhere it is needed. PSIA can only provide guidance and coordination. PSIA can provide a pooling of talent like thi s Board of Di rectors, but cOIl1.Ilmnication and educa"" tion must work in two directions ~ from the division to PSIA and from PSIA back to the division. Soo let~s quit worrying so much about technique and its many technical possibili ties of an uphill christ ie for aw't,ile. Let /J s begin looking at other important considerations, for exarr.ple, m:...r market 0 Let~s explore new teaching methods and begLrt doing this at the division level. Realize of course that in all matters the divisions have a slightly different objective than a nationsl organization, And also that a technique, a system or a method as pl~c,iished, is only a guide. The booko for example 6 The Official AIllerican Ski Tec!-tniqae is only the first step. It is never perfect. It is written for the student teacher or the candidate. The book is not wrltten for the old""time p!:ofessional because he would be too Dard to please anyway. Professional ski teachers should look at our cnstolr:ers and explore them as people. Human beings are dynamic f cor:lplex creatures ~ They are irratIonal as often ratio~al, People, remember~ are motivated by a motion, habit dnd prejudice. HtL'ttan beIngs differ widely in aspirati.on ff personall ty, ideals and behavior, Men differ from women biologically and in fundamental interests and attitudes. Teenagers who are approaching maturity and responsibility have vastly differe.nt views Ulan middle~aged people, We all know that children are different too. Let's face up to our one big problem in the ski teaching profession today ~ Olir O'.rIn inflated egos. We all have this problem in the ski teaching profession. \vatch out for our own inflated instructor image and then let's really begin to work together. We do not want to be the best technically perfect ski nation in the world. It really doesn't mean anything. Rather let's think about the use of teaching research and market research and give research into employee and business problems. And above all give research into our customers and ourselves. Let 6 S w.ake PSIA an organization for mutual benefit and substitute knowledge for ignorance and rumor a.nd guess and suspicion" Let Us work togethey and get down the road to make the 8th INTERSKI the best the world has ever seen. Finally, letOs get on to our really big job and show the world what a wonderful free enterprising country the United States can be in 19680 -4- Ge:-leral Meeting San Valley, Idaho Ma.y 14, 1966 APPENDIX IIC" VICE PRESIDENTuS REPORT By~ Paul Valar Report of the Technical Coordlndting Com::.ruittee PSIA 1966. In the Ma.:rch issue of tbe PRO, 1:D.e president gave some background on the members of the -techl~,ical coordinating cOIrL.rni ttee of PSIA. The committee has now 5 members, everyone being a specialist in a particular field, This allows us to refer special problems of a technical, methodical or theoretlcal nature to one particular member of the committee for stt:.dy and recommendations. It has taken us considerable time to find the members with th1S special background that can and are willing to spend the time it takes to do the job. Our iJveakest point still is communicat1on W1 th our members. The PRO should be at least part of our answer, where we can get articles of a highly technical nature to our colleges and friends. There definitely is interest among a lot of recreational skiers also for specific and detailed presentat1ons, articles which todays most popular magazines in the field reject as too complicated, too hard to understa:~ld. We simply have to face the fact tHat we are in a special profession and that 1t is not unusu.al to use terminology that is not rea.dily understood by the layman or so-called amateurs. It is up to us to establish usage of specific expres3ions or words that refer to skiing, which would there practically exclude differences in interpretation. We have made considerable progress in this direction, we have to pursue it diligently and yet carefully as the evolution or revolutIon, whatever you choose to call it, cont1nues. This year, with the second edltlon of our manual in preparation, most of the rcembeLs of the technical cormrli t tee bad to contrlB"J.te consider~ _:' hIe time and effo rt . But the bL..lk of the work, as usnal, was left up to cur p~esident, sir,ce he happens to lIve in the same town as our printer. There is little resembla.nce leit to otlr first effort and the ne\ilT TIi.dnual IS proof enough that a ski technique does not stagnate, simply because it becomes l~nifonnly accepted. I always claim that exactly the OppOSl te happens ~ once all n:ernbers of a profes~ sion start thinking in slmilar terms. At the same time, we are keeping o·ursel ves from overemphasis of lIlsignificant preferences th,,::d do appear in the indi v1dual instructor and often also In the ski school during a skiing season. I felt we had made it abundantly clear emt we wallted OUI- members -1- to make suggestions for a new manual. I received one letter, not exactly an indication of great interest in participation. I am sure that the book will receive much closer attention and all the criticism it deserves. Even so this is more human than disturbing , it does reflect unfavorable for those who ask for and expect direct involvement at the national level. At the same time, most of the requests for changes in the American Technique to date, came from instructors or ski schools that did not and never had taught our technique. At times it seems that we are forever starting from scratch, or better repeat what we have been doing for 6 - 8 years over and over again. This is bound to continue if we are not able to mobilize leadership in the divisions,where individual participation is feasible and much more continuous. We would therefore suggest that each division elect a technical director or coordinator who also would be in charge of programming the divisional symposiums or rallies. This coordinator would be on our mailing list. Recommendations from individuals and schools regarding the American Ski Technique would be submitted by the divisional director to the Technical committee PSIA in writing. Copies of directives, schedules and explanations distributed within the division should be sent to us. This would seem the logical next step in our expanding organization and assure the proper function of coordinator of this committee, as it was intended to be. Some divisions already are so organized and have established communication with this committee, to the benefit of all concerned. Again, this structure evolved through the interest and dedication of individual members and not by dictation from the top. At times it seems to me that the technical committees main function was in defense of our technique. Yet nobody thinks much of a con~ tractor that would change cellar windows before the roof is even up. The new roof is coming in form of the new manual. I would now like to invite all our members to go over our manual very carefully and if improvements, recommendations and changes seem feasible and important to take it to their school and their divisions and submit it to us in writing. We simply have to continue to pursue what we started in a professional manner. Let us not be confused by the fluctuations in top speed skiing. The recreational skiers speed alone restricts the possibilities in teaching as we are able to determine the basic facts, under-standing results. In closing let me remind you once more of our intent in ski teaching: Safety'" Fun - Learning, in that order. -2- APPENDIX IIDII CERTIFICATION COMMITTEE REPORT By: Bob Strand Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Honored Guests. IGd like first to introduce the divisional certification representatives present at today's certification committee meeting. Eastern - Stan Heidenreich Central - Otto Hollaus = Bill Shepler Rocky Mountain - Hank Emery ~ Max Dercum Northern - George Montrose - Jiffi Weiss Intermountain • Don Rhinehart Far West - Nick Fiore Pacific Northwest ~ George Savage Alaska ~ Hans Metz This past year has seen some excellent progress by the Certification Committee. The Committee planned and adopted an examination score card,used and tested it in this past seasons exams and, for the first time since the committee's formation, were sufficiently pleased with the score card to recommend its use for next season. The Committee has reaffirmed the small 8-10 candidate - 3 examiners - one day exam. Although all divisions are not presently using the recommended exam we're encouraged that more complete uniformity will be not long in coming. All divisions used the 1-20 point scoring system this past season and have agreed to continue its use for next season. Under this system a candidate must achieve a minimum of 16 points for a certified grade and a minimum of 12 points for associate. Before proceeding to exam statistics for the season just completed, I know you'll be pleased to hear that those divisions who last year elected to examine exclusively on the American Technique were well pleased with the results and have reaffirmed their intention to use our technique as a basis for their future exams. Presently six of the eight divisions examine exclusively on the American Technique. Attached is a breakdown by division of this past years exams. Those of you who attended last years meeting at Mammoth will recall that last year Alaska passed only one candidate - certified. We've been holding our breath for fear that no one would make it this year. It appears our fears were groundless. Now we're concerned that they may be over compensating. If they continue passing candidates at this rate we may have to give Alaska the Santa Claus Award. -1- AgClin u thi s year substantial growth wa.s experienced in the number of exams held and candidates examined. In last year's certification comrJ.i ttee report, we recommended that the divisions conduct a greater nu.mber of exams in a variety of locations ",ri th a view toward improving flexibility and providing greater convenience for candidates. It's certainly apparent that the divisions took this recommendation seriously, This past season a total of 41 ski instructor exams were held throughout the country as compared with only 30 exams the preceding season. 1293 Candidates were examined during the season just completed. Again, this year that represents an increase over the previous year. It's interesting to note that in the short span of only three years the number of candidates examined has grown from 733 candidates to 1,293. This represents a 77% increase. We believe the direction in which we are moving is right. Although weuve made a good deal of progress we recognize that there is much to be done before complete uniformity in exanlining procedure is an accorr, plished fact 0 Since the members of our committee do not have the authori ty to ill.ake binding decisions for thelr divisions, progress is somev.lhat slower than we would like. The members of the committee must take the committee recommendations, house and sell them to their own divisions. Many times this is difficult to do. We'd like to ask each of you to give your complete support to the comld ttee member representing your division. Your support will do much toward as~ sisting us to realize our goal of exam uniformity in the U. S. Tha.nk you. - 2- DIVISIONAL COMPARISON OF CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES How ma Exam f Amount Exam in Pay fo Clinic Is .::1i Who co No.of NOoof Were 1j Studen Firs t TOTALg rry times exams held during season ee charged candidate per day pdo each examiner ~ ers expenses paid r Jro Examiners held in conjune tion with exam nic attendance required nducts clinics '* hrso spent examining on hill hrs o spent examining indoors -~.-.

However, there were two or three cases which might have involved the Committee if pursued in the right manner. One was a case where a just-terminated ski instructor proceeded to get into a fight with the ski school director. As of this date, no formal complaint about the PSIA member supposedly involved has been received. I assume the case is closed. In another situation, a PSIA member charged another member with devious and unethical business practices with no mention of facts, dates or places. Further, the Ethics Committee has received no formal notification of the complaint. The formal complaint involves a member put on probation in August of 1964 to see how he would deport himself; he deported himself in the worst ethical way possible. On June 4, 1965 he was adjudged guilty of the lIoffense of indecent conduct outraging the sense of public decency, contrary to the City Ordinance. 1I At this time, he was given 90 days in the City Workhouse, serving a portion of the sentence before being parolled. The actual charge was 1I1ewd, lascivious and immoral conduct. 1I Needless to say, on the recommendation of the Ethics Committee, the Board of Directors considered his conduct unethical and he was dropped from PSIA membership. In closing this case, his only concern seemed to be IIhow did we find out his offense?1I Respectfully submitted, Ethics Committee George Savage -1- APPENDIX "F" REPORT ON 8TH INTERSKI 1968 By: Willy Schaeffler April 19th - 28th, ASPEN, Colorado Since the 8th INTERSKI has been awarded to the United States, the following steps have been taken: The Organizing Committee has been named at the 1965 PSIA Convention - Chairman: Members: Willy Schaeffler, Arapahoe Ski School and University of Denver.

Quallficaticns for selection: '1'0 be an outstanding skier, instyuctor, tall and lanky, and U.S. Citizen. After quota has been established to approximately 30 men, they ~ould be demo~strating their ability sometime during the winter of 1967, perhaps during next year's PSIA Convention. A coach or demonstration committee should be appointed winch will have from there on full jurisdiction in every respect over the selected 30 instructors. After selection they should contInue Qnder the demonstration coach to train in their divisions. At least 2 "veeks prior to the begin.r:ir.g of the congress in Apri 1 1968 they should arrive in Aspen for final practice and selection. It is left up to the Convention to decide if we want to take full advantage of t~e q~ota or If we want to reduce to 12 or 18 men. After our experience in Bad Gastein it is our recommendation not to present a synchronized drIll team but an expertly trained technique demonstrc.tion team of the American Technique. We would also like to recclTlmen::1 to Include In tl~e demonstration a Children's Program of approxiI:: mtely ID of tbe ages from 8 to 12 years. It is tt-J,e re;;om:::ner~dation of tt.IS ComlIll tiee that we change the name from PSIA for the purpose of obtaining funds from eXIsting foundati ons and the :3ta t e Department, to IISTH INTERSKI EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION. 1/ Professor Kr..:ckenhauser, the President of INTERSKI, and Professor Hoppichler, Secc:'etary~Treasurer of INl'ERSKI, will be traveling with the Organizing COrnIa .. l ttee to Aspen to inspect the 8th INTERSKI site next Monday al~d Tuesday, Si~ce we need many capable men and women of our organization to carry out ~he responsIble task, we would like to ask many of you to volunteer rOI tte d~,-fferent responsibilities. As the hO!lor of carrying out the 8th IN'rERSKI has been bestoyed upon our organIzation? we feel It is the responsibility of each one of our members to do everything in ~lS power to make Lt a great and memorable international event and complete success in beIng host to approximately 30 nations wricb. will be coming from all parts of the world. RESPECTFULLY ~mBMITTED BY: Willy Schaeffler Herbert Schneider Paul Valar APPENDIX "GII DIVISIONAL OFFICERS REPORT Sun Valley, Idaho May 12 - 13, 1966 Those present were: By: Lou Lorenz, Acting Chairman Hal Kihlman, President, P.N.S.I.A. Hank Emery, President, S.R.M.S.I.A. Jim Day, President, Eastern PSIA members Dave Hamilton, President, N.R.M.I.A. Hans Metz, President, A.S.I.A. Lou Lorenz, President, I.S.I.A. Bill Shepler & Otto Hollaus, Co-Chairmen, Central Cert. Comm. Jim Winthers, President, F.W.S.I.A. Since this is a relatively new committee formed only last year, there was a discussion of the purpose of the committee. It was agreed that its main purpose is to allow division officers an opportunity to exchange ideas on various administrative policies at divi$ion level. This is extremely critical at this time, since each division has somewhat the same problems created by rapid growth of membership. If this committee will function properly, each division will benefit by the others experience and save valuable time that is consumed in using trial and error methods of solving problems. This committee should also make recommendations to and receive recommendations from the PSIA Board of Directors. The committee agreed that they, along with the certification committee, would give each division adequate representation to PSIA and be able to better maintain communication with PSIA. It was agreed that an exchange of all division mailings will be maintained so that each division will know what the others are doing at alltimes. It was also agreed that PSIA should receive division mailings. Items discussed pertinent to administration at this meeting were as follows~ Exam for certified level only. Methods of distributing information to individual members. Merits of a fall general meeting as opposed to a spring meeting. Dues, other fees, - i.e. initiation, convention, clinic, exam, delinquent. How to maintain operating funds. - Foreign instructor situation. Change of USFS policy on certification in ski school use permits. -1- What divisions can do in preparation for tb.e 1968 Interski. Willy - discussion of problems; suggests a representation from each division on the Interski finance committee. Committee would be receptive to recommendations from PSIA pertinent to the Interski, The committee agreed that the PSIA Technical Coordinating Committee was correctly composed of a group of specialists that should not be expanded to include division representatives. However, they recommend that at future conventions, time be allowed for a meeting of PSIA TechnIcal Coordinating CommIttee afid division technical representatives. Each division now has people in this capacity and a meeting would allow for accurate, concise, dissemination of technical information, not possible by any other media. The Committee also recommends that in the future when affairs on national· policy that may affect a division are projected, that the divisions be notified prior to action. '1'.1:1e COIILTf,i ttee agreed that the officers, Bi 11 Lash, Paul Valar I Jimmy ]oh:J.ston and Buzz Fiorini shoGld be very highly cormnended for tr.eir efforts and almost inhuman sacrifices of personal time spent in the c..dIP:.ni st :rat i on of PSIA. Although some of the discussion during the meeting was critical of the Board of Direstors. this is only in the interest of improving relations betwee!l PSIA. and the divisions. The committee agreed una_nimously in a vote of co:r.flder,ce to the Board of Directors of PSIA.

THE AWARD - It will be the annual Hannes Schneider Memorial Award to be presented annually in recognition of the member who has contributed outstanding service to the sport of skiing. The trophy will be perpetui'< l. GUIDELINES - The areas of recognition will be recommended to Board of Dlrectors, people in skiing who have made outstanding contributions to skiing in general and who have gained achievements in their own particular area of skiing such as ski technicians, coaches, officers at divisional level, etc. NOMINATION FOR AWARD - Names of prospective candidates should be furnished from divisions to the Committee which, in turn, will screen the recommended members. From there, the Committee will furnish the names of those they consider to be worthy recipients to the Board of Directors who will have the final say on who receives the award. THE AWARD _. The Commlttee as individuals has looked at trophies and not finding what they considered appropriate, decided to go along with Herbert Schneider's recommendation that on his next trip to Europe he engage a silversmith to make a different and more original type of trophy. The Committee believes that the trophy should combine quality, reserve aLd dignity in appearance and size. Of course, the PSIA shield should be in evidence. The trophy should be engraved "The Annual Hannes Schneider Memorial Award" and a plaque on which will be listed names of the award winners. It will also be desirable to have replicas a.warded to the member which, of course, would be in his permanent possession. FINANCING - For some years, Herbert Schneider has desired to furnish a trophy ln honor of his father who, of course, has done so much for worldwide skiing. When this Commi ttee was formed last year, Herbert said that this\rJas the type of award he would like to make as a fitting tribllte to his late father. FIRDT AWARD - Due to the COITLrnittee's inability to secure a trophy of the quality and dignity befitting the award, it was decided to wait to award the trophy at the next Annual Corporate Meeting. APPENDIX "I II NATIONAL FOREST RECREATION ASSOCIATION By: Claude F. Jones Three major matters carne before the 1965 Annual Convention of the NFRA last November in Moro Bay, California. 1. The problem presented by Gaylord Winthrell, operator of Medicine Bow Ski Area was discussed at length and facts presented to satis= - factorly iron out the misunderstanding. Mr. Winthrell had charged that the Forest Service would not recognize any certifying body except the PSIA. 2. The PSIA introduced a motion requiring the Forest Service drop the clause in use permits that ALL ski instructors teaching on Forest Serv:'ce lands be certified. This was then approved at the office of the Chief of Forests ff Washington, D. C. 3. NFRA approved a motion to change the bonding law and this was also adopted by the Forest Service. The NFRA requested that bonds required of area operators at the time of new lift construction be terminated at the end of that construction. In the past these bonds had been held for as long as several years after lifts were complete. / APPENDIX flJ" FOREST SERVICE REPORT By: John Herbert It is always a pleasure to participate in yOUl:' annual conventions 0 I believe I have attended all except one since the origin of PSIAo There are two matters which I would like to discuss briefly with youo One is certification and the other the survey of the Western Ski Business undertaken by our Research peop1ea Your President has provided to each Division copies of our Chief Forester's letter of February 21, 1966, modifying the Forest Service instructor certification policyo No longer is there a requirement that the heads of ski schools or instructors be certified to teach on National Forest lando This change was recommended by your Board at a meeting here at Sun ValleYQ last August and had been under consideration by the Forest Service for some time prioro The views of Forest field officers~area operators and others were solicited before the policy was changed. I will not repeat the reasons for this change in policy, but do want to emphasize that permits to teach skiing for income on National FOTest land are still required, and that such permits carry a stipu:ation which reserves to the Forest Service the right to check and regulate the adequacy of the services provided and to require that they conform to satisfactory standards. We do have a strong and continuing interest in the calibre of ski teaching which the public pays for6 We also recognize there is a growing need for more instructors, and in this connection, urge that more be trained and examined. The statistics seem to clearly show that those Di~isions which put on a number of examinations each winter at different locations are doing a better job of meeting the need than those which hold but one" Now as to the Western Ski Survey - the facts gleaned thus far are as fol10ws~ 1. There are 199 operating ski areas in the 13 Western States and A1aska o 2. Between 1955 and 1964 - (a) skier attendance more than tripled, (b) number of ski areas increased from 152 to 199 (30%), (c) uphill capacity in terms of vertical transport feet per hour increased about threefold, (d) existing lifts and tows can accommodate 15 0 8 million skier visits as compared to 402 million visits in 1963, (e) three million visits took place on weekends and holidays, plus 1.2 million visits during midweek, (f) in 1955, 41% of the uphill capacity was on rope tows - in 1963, 20io (g) one half of attendance and uphill capacity is in California and Colorado, (h) 12.1 million skier visits call be expected by 19/6 (this is subject to change when phase 2 is completed), (i) tte proportion of midweek use (29% in 1963) is expected to increase ~o possibly 40% by 1976.

Savage SUBJECT: Fall Seminar at Mt. Hood - OCTOBER 1 and 2, 1966 As directed by the Board of Directors at the spring meeting at Crystal Mountain, there will be a two-day Seminar to familiarize all ski instructors directly concerned with the Certification Program. Through this means it is hoped to bring about a better understanding of what is wanted and required to pass the examinations at associate and certified levels. The demonstration and teaching phases will be simulated as they are executed under examination procedure, and Ski School Directors, Supervisors, Examiners and Assistant Examiners will participate. It is hoped that this different approach will continue to unify and standardize the evaluation of the examinee by the examiner. The Director of Education and I feel that there should be better understanding and coordination among the technical Committee, Examiners and PNSIA Clinic Instructors. With this in mind, we have scheduled some very necessary on-thehill sessions for these people. It will be mandatory for PNSIA Clinic Instructors intending to continue to give sanctioned Clinics to attend these sessions. Also, all Examiners and Assistant Examiners desiring to continue in the Certification Program must attend the Seminar. There will be no restriction on the number of Supervisors who will be allowed from each Ski School. In an Executive Committee meeting last June, it was decided to hold the Seminar very early due to the many problems which arrive at a later date such as Ski School Clinics, etc. It was also decided at the meeting to definitely have a fall exam. RESERVATIO!§. 1. Timberline Lodge will hold a block of rooms in favor of the Seminar to accomodate 100 persons. This block will be held until September 23rd which will be the "shut-off" for reservations. 2. All delegates attending the Seminar will mail their own reservation requests to Timberline Lodge, Government Camp, Oregon. Reservations must indicate "with PNSIA" to qualify for rate. The following rates will prevail: Two to a room Three to a room Four to a room -$6.25 per person -$5.25 per person -$4.25 per person 3. All meals of the delegates will be on their own on a cash and carry basis. There will be no planned meal functions for the group. Timberline Lodge will have both the dining room and cafeteria open for three meals on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Fall Seminar on Mt. Hood Page 2 4.

Fall Seminar on Mt. Hood Page 3 We are certain that you all feel the Fall Seminar can be an invaluable part of the Certification Program and, at the same time, be beneficial to all of us in gaining more knowledge to disseminate among our ski schools. The Certification V.P. and the Technical Committee most assuredly desire to increase the number of instructors who successfully pass the examinations at both levels. We hope you actively participate, gaining knowledge that will help your instructors in passing the examinations. Conversely, we hope you will contribute by making concrete suggestions for improvements in the Certification Program. The Seminar is being organized in such a way that should there be changes in the offices after the fall election, no forseeable problems would arise. In case of cancellation, the Seminar will be rescheduled for October 14 and 15. George W. Savage Sign and Mail the following BEFORE SEPTEMBER 28TH, to George W.
