Convention Review Shortcomings and problems of plannin\..'; the PSI;\ Annual Congress, 1972. 1. Convention was planned on short notice. Recommended: a. Plan congress in co-orJjnation ~"Jjth other sld industry events. b. Plan some what similar to other conventions in other trade associations, where you plan one to three years in advance. 2. In some ways the 1972 C()n\..';ress has little direction. The direction for this meeting is mana:::;eJl1ent consulting and the new teaching method. 3. Because of the short n()tice, communication with divisions was poor. 4. Promotion and advertising was poorly timed due to lateness of decision. First mailing should have gone out eight weeks before conventj on. Second ma:i 1 i ng should hllve been sent out six weel,s before the c()nvention. DIRECTION PSIA SHOULD BE GOl NG as ,given by Ron Krenzel Ski instruction in the United States has corne to a point that it either has to find some direction,or has to continue to be a very smal~ closely-knit organization. The rest of the industry is not going to allow this. Nany times the other Sei-,TTnents of the industry say that they do not knm·: what I'SIA is going to do, and they do not care. 1 f 1'811\ j s not goin\..'; out and sell skiing, then the other segments will. They want to sell merchandise because it is their primary reason for being in business. PSIA is facing a class:i c pro})] l'llI, and it\\' i]] 1)(' lJ() c1 i ITerel1t who is working on it or what kiml ()f persoll :it is. 11' y()U are working as a volunteer in an organization, you have only so mllch time that you can donate. The time is Llst llPP1'oaching that an urgan:ization that is planning annual meet:ings, conveI1tions, nat:ional camps, etc. have the full time efforts of more than just one or two people. RON KRENZEL T S REPORT PAGE 2 Hany of us that are involved ill sl, iinstructiol1 have obscure motivations for doing it. J r you are a s1d school director, it is easier to see. How do we motivate ski instructors to become more enthused about their professi on? hie have many people, such as myself, who do not directly rely on ski instruction for their sale source of income that are doing alot in the sport. I think that this should be changed. Solutions 1. Placing more power at the office level. These people should be people that understand the whole program and whatTs happening. It is very difficult on a part time basis to communicate with the different committees, where the office has tid s ability: and should start doing more. With my exper-j (-'!lee \\'hile world n,'.!; on the Congress, I feel the office could do this well. 2. The organizational structure in I'S]i\ within five years if properly instituted, III i '.!;ht have a seat Q t the top wi th' an Executive f)irector~ below him wuuld be a Divisional Director coordinating the different djvisjons: next, a Technical Director that would wurk on the national camp, coordinate the demonstration team, the technology. Along side of these two people would be a marketing man who would be responsible for advertising, fund-raising, and the promotion of the sport through instruction. 3. Activities for raising more money might be product endorsement, if properly endorsed. It is not necessary to stay within the ski business. IIFreebe syndrome" has developed ,d thin instruction which has been caused by a long history of volunteer work and part time associatiun of some sort, alld this is something we should start to move away from. We need to go outside the industry. There is a tremendous structure of different companies that are involved in ski aIld recreation. They are all looking for help. By centralizing the organization of instruction, we could cut out a tremendous duplication of efforts. This Board of Directors will be talking about basicly the same things that divisional Boards are talking about on til(' loCG] 1evl'l. '1'1](' ('()S t u f reduction in transporting nWlIoers llround from meeting to meeting would be a significant impruveillent. RON KRENZEV S REPORT 1'1\C[ 3 Places that we lack the most are in the followjw; two areas: 1. Industry communication. 2. Communication with the consumer. Objectives of PSIA We have some things we take for granted as facts of a professional instructors T organization. These are thin;..';s ] ihe: 1. Technique and method. 2. How to educate instructors to be better instructors. 3. The whole funcbon of basic paper work. 4. Membership communication. S. Instructor training. 6. Consumer research. These are functions that should not have to sLlstain themselves. They should be the type of functions that other activities pay for. At the present time we are trying to run these as the total picture of PSIA. This is self defeating because we are simply asking each other to pay money, to talk to each other, to pay money to talk to each other. To reach our goals, we have to do other things. 1. Outside income generation has to ue developed. This can come from a variety of sources. It is possible to obtain alot more money from wi thin the industry simply by presenting a better image, and being more professional on our approach. Goals A goal might be that every person that skis in the United States would take two or three lessons a year. Ski instruction today is geared to beginners which might be a fault. There are things happening in ski instruction, and if we don't give them direction, other segments of the industry are going to do it themselves. No une gets into skiing without learning how, and PSIA Cl1n be 11 c'l'i tical 1 ill}, . Summary 1. PSIA has little crediLility with manufacturers and suppliers. 2. Retail stores are a key source of new skiers, and through -------------------- RON KRENZEL T S RE POR T j'/\.GE 4 /dm these are where new sld ers sh()ulu l'ome, and then move to the ski area for instrUl~tiun. Retail in\!.; uefini tely needs to be approachpd to show them what we can do for them, and what they can uo for liS. 3. Ski oriented media such as Sl .. i and :-:ki ing are vLrtually ignoring PSIA. When they uu say sumethin,'-', ,i t is usually not complimentary. II'e neeu tu improve these relations. 4. Many ski area operators view ski school as a necessary evil. 5. PSIA is unknown to the consumer. 6. Support from outside the industry. /\Lrl i nes, llotels, car rentals are untappeu Greas fur rcsollrses and cOJl1llluni­cations. If PSI/\. is a strOll'..'; proi'cssiol1Ll.l urganization with a full time professiollGl staff runn-in.\!.; it, then PSIA shoulu actively pursue these areas. ------- January 31, 1972 Curt Chase, Director Aspen Ski School P.O.

S. I. A. nEWSLETTER VOLUME 1972, no. 2 January, 1972 PHIL JONES - A THANK YOU MARY ELLEN PARKINSON LOU LORENZ FRANK GILLETTE thanks and congratulations SEE ARTICLE PAGE 3 2 A Message From Outgoing President CLARK PARKINSON My decision to resign as President of ISlA was a very difficult one to make, but con­sidering the circumstances, the only deci­sion I could have made was made at this time. The time and energy required to func­tion effectively as President this last year and a half took a heavy toll on my personal life and particularly my insurance business. My "full-time" concentration and efforts will be required to bring my business back up to where it should be, therefore, my Association duties had to be relieved. I feel my administration has been "active". I'm particularly proud of our recent Re­organization. With a full-time paid Ex­ecutive Secretary, we now have, after 20 years, a new and functional organizational structure. We have an active Demo Team, Clinic Program, an informative Newsletter, a more flexible Certification Program, and above all, we now have an opportunity to involve new people under the new organiza­tional structure. Of course, there have been failures and dis­appointments, but on balance, I feel progress has been made. Our public relations and pub­lic image are weak. We must be able to at­tract more instructors and provide incentives to register and take Certification Exams. Somehow the Ski School Directors must involve themselves with running and directing the Association's activities. The full-time in­structors haven't, historically, played a part in the work or direction of ISlA to any degree as compared to the part-time members. Our Idaho members should have more say so and take a more active role in the Associa­tion. I hODe to remain active in the Certification and Clinic programs. I will remain on the BOD. I have a sincere interest in the Assoc­iation, and I enjoy the relationships that have been developed by working with members of other ski schools throughout the Division in Association activities. Thanking everyone who helped me during my term, by name, would fill the Newsletter, but to all the Committee Chairmen, committee members, members of the BOD, Officers, and Demo Team members, I appreciate your help and support. Clark Parkinson Thanks Blizzard & Brunswick The two days of the Examiners' Clinic and free clinic at Park City, saw many members on the wild checker-board, op-art Blizzard skis. Thank you Brunswick folks for pro­viding us with your fine product for these days. We would like to thank John Bartlett of the Vagabond Sports Shop and also Ron Hickerson of the Consumer Division of Brunswick. David Chaplin Ed Pond HIGHLIGHTS of B.O.D. MEETING The most recent meeting of the BOD on Dec. 3, 1971, at Park City saw the final approval of the new reorganization in our Association when the By-laws incorporating the changes were adopted. If you haven't received the By-laws yet, they will arrive soon. George Merritt, a Board member from PNSIA, was invited to attend the meeting. He ex­plained a proposed item of legislation cur­rently being introduced in Idahos' Legisla­ture. The proposed legislation is in the form of a registration statute and George is now engaged in lobbying for its passage. Its passage would affect our Association so we'll watch with interest its course in Idahos' Legislature. For further details on the meeting, take the opportunity to read the Minutes of said meeting which have been mailed. Edwin J. Pond New Board Member Andy Shearer tendered his resignation as a mem­ber of the BOD on December 3, 1971, stating time demands required such resignation. Andy recommended that Fred Finlinson fill the un­expired portion of his term (which ends in the spring of 1972) and the Board elected Fred to the vacancy. Thanks go to Andy for his efforts and past con­tributions to the Board and welcome to Fred as an incoming Board member. Notes from Executive Secretary After receiving many inquiries as to where copies of the 3rd Edition of the Official American Ski Technique can be obtained and responding with "try your local ski shop", please be aware that they can be purchased for $8.95 (Idaho residents add 3% sales tax) less 20% for members, from Bill Lash at P.O. Box 1133, Sun Valley, Idaho 83353. Have you lost your membership card? It can be replaced upon receipt of $1.00 along with a request for a new card. Send to Bonnie Pond, 7234 Jonathon Circle, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. Are you aware of any members who are no~ re­ceiving mailings? Please have them not~fy me and send any address changes. Thank you. Bonnie Pond AWARDS HIGHLIGHT ANNUAL MEETING JIM RILEY of PSIA & NASIC Addresses Meeting During the Annual Meeting we heard from Jim Riley about the current status and as­pirations of the Professional Ski Instruc­tors of America. He brought a new 30 sec. television promotional film for us to see, which is devoted to the promotion of cer­tified ski lessons. AWARDS Then President Parkinson presented 5 awards. Recipients of these ISlA honors were, first, Dave Parkinson, long-time Board of Directors member, former ISlA Secretary and Clinic Chairman. Unfortunately Dave wasn't able to attend for the first time in memory - He's manager of Solitude Resort and was extremely busy on that week-end. Lou Lorenz, past President, long-time Board of Directors member and advisor and stabil­izing influence to most members of the ISlA. Mary Ellen Parkinson, retiring Executive Secretary of ISlA, for her extremely fine and competent service to the Association. SKI SCHOOL DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR Frank Gillette of the Beaver Mountain Ski School out of Logan, Utah. Frank is ISlA's Ski School Director of the Year. This means that in Frank's school a larger proportion of his instructors are certified, or regis­tered and a higher over-all percentage of his exam candidates were successful in be­coming certified. Phil Jones, Director of the Park City Ski School, was the choice of the ISlA Awards Committee as Ski Instructor of the Year for the entire Association. Following this, his name was placed in nomination for Ski Instruc­tor of the Year at NASIC II, and there he was honored by the Garcia people as the man chosen to represent ski instruction for the entire nation. A singular honor, not only to Phil, but to ISlA as well. Max Lundberg, past I.S.I.A. President and past Treasurer of the Association, for his strong influence and leadership in the technical area. Max was also a member of both the 8th and 9th National Interski Teams. Thank you friends for your service and devo­tion to us in the Intermountain Ski Instruc­tors Association. David Chaplin Snow Basin Clinic 3 Earl Miller's Snow Basin Ski School hosted an instructors clinic on December 19, 1971. This clinic with 55 participants was the largest ever held at Snow Basin. Those in attendance were very receptive to the pre­sentations offered by Lou Lorenz and Clark Parkinson. On hand to graphically demonstrate to the Snow Basin instructors were Bill Haskins, Marv Casey (Alta) and Al Ellis (Skyline, Pocatello, Idaho). These men are members of the ISlA Demonstration Team. The weather for this clinic was ideal, and Keith Lange is to be commended for his work in coordinating the Ski School, snow, mod­erators and demonstrators for this clinic. For ISlA too, it was a successful day. More than 35 people registered as new members of our Association from the Snow Basin area. We would like, again, to congratulate Earl Miller for having such a fine turn-out to our clinic and best wishes for another suc­cessful season in 1971-72. Lou Lorenz BRUNSWICK HOST AT PARK CITY Following the general meeting, the Brunswick people hosted a very pleasant cocktail/keg party. 4 How to Pass ISlA EXAM for $5.00 For those of you who live on the Wasatch Front and teach from Sundance to Snow Basin (or further if you wish) here is an opportunity to learn how to pass the ISlA certification exam.

Slgnature PARK CITY HOSTS EXAM CLINIC On December 4, 1971, at Park City under the direction of Phil Jones, the I.S.I.A. held its Annual Examiners' Clinic. The day be­gan with a breakfast meeting at which the objectives and procedures for the days clinic were explained. Also covered were some of the new policies to be employed by the Examining Boards for the coming season. Following the breakfast meeting, the Exam­iners met on the hill - the Meadow under the gondola - at the top of Park City Resort. The I.S.I.A. Demo Team worked in conjunction with the presenter Phil Jones and moderators, Lou Lorenz and Clark Parkinson. The team very clearly showed what the Examiners are to look for during an exam. Some of the interesting points raised during this session, which amplify the official ISlA exam policy are: 1. The Certification Vice President is the new title for the Certification Chairman. 2. Candidates who are certified as Asso­ciates will be examined separately from Regis­tered candidates. 3. The demonstration phases of the exam will be considered and scored on the basis of definitions as written in the 3rd Edition of the American Ski Technique Manual. 4. There will be some exams scheduled in advance this season. 5. Applications and written reports will be submitted to the Certification Vice Presi­dent not less than 18 days prior to the exam. David Chaplin ANNUAL MEETING SPURS P.SJ.A. QUESTION pro During the Annual Meeting of ISlA at Park City on December 4, 1971, a Motion was made from the floor that the Officers and Board of Directors of the Association poll the membership to determine the feeling of ISlA instructors about PSIA. More specifically, does the membership of ISlA want the Board of Directors to ratify the PSIA By-laws and become, once again, a Division directly affiliated with PSIA? The following are points expressed on both sides of the ques­tion. Clark Parkinson expresses a stand that ISlA should ratify and [)2COme realligned with the Professional Ski Instructors of Am,?rica. That it would be contrary to the interests of ISlA and its instructors is expressed by Lou Lorenz. Ce:ntlemen: 8. are individual members of PSIA, your dues will be less if we ratify. CUr­rently $30.00 - after $25.00. 1. All oi;:ler Instructor Divisions l1QVC joined on a Divisional basis - ISlA is the only one who hasn't. 9. ISlA was instrumental in PSIA at its inception, (Bill Lash) and should sup­port a national organization now. ISlA cannot continue to keep its head in the sand. PSIA is a reality and we should become part of it totally, before it's too late. 2. 10. PSIA membership will be mandatory if 5 3. ISlA cannot affect national policy determined by PSIA. We have no rep­resentation, or vote, on the PSIA B.O.D., even though we have over (80) eighty individual PSIA members. ISlA should be contributing to the current PSIA efforts: national ad­vertising etc., from which we are receiving as much benefit as the mem­ber Divisions, but are not contributing dues on an equal basis. we ratify, but what isn't: drivers li­cense, licence plates, taxes and it is rumored that PSIA dues might be reduced. 4. 5. 6. 7. ISlA Associate members should be given the opportunity to join a national or­ganization and they should be contribu­ting monetarily to PSIA as well as the Full Certified. The Associate is re­ceiving as much benefit from PSIA as the Full, but in ISlA is not allowed to join. Membership in any trade or professional association, such as PSIA or ISlA does not return as many tangible things as going to the store vs. buying $15.00 worth of goods, but PSIA did sponsor NASIC II, it is advertising nationally, it is economically sound, it does issue 9 Newsletters and in the planning stage are many things which will benefit all instructors. Currently ISlA is the "maverick" Div­ision and our reputation among the other Divisions is very low. They feel we're standing on the side while they are do­ing the work and paying the dues. For Full Certified members of ISlA who I.SJ.A. Opinion Form SENDNOW~) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. con Clark Parkinson A very low percentage of ISlA members are currently supporting members of PSIA. ISlA was not involved with PSIA in 1970-71, and we saved $5,000.00. What did we lose? How could we use this money ourselves? ISlA may lose some members if they are required to join PSIA and ISlA. PSIA is a very controversial organi­zation. Do we want to inherit contro­versy? Is mandatory membership in an organi­zation a prestigious situation? Is it right that PSIA membership be required of all certified ISlA mem­bership? What is PSIA doing now that will benefit ISlA members? Will all the other ski instructor Divisions continue to ratify the PSIA By-laws? Lou Lorenz Would you recommend to the Board of Directors that ISlA ratify the By-laws of the PROFESSIONAL SKI INSTRUCTORS of AMERICA (PSIA). Yes No Slgnature Cert.

RMSIA's Ron Krenzel is chairman of the event with Vail ski school super­visor Bob Dorf serving as coordinator. Vail was chosen over Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, in a close vote by the board. Plans and ideas for the meeting are still under discussion. Complete agenda and registration information will be sent to members shortly. In the meantime, think snow and make plans to attend the important annual meeting this April. TEACHING MANUAL SLOWED UP Publishing of the long-awaited PSIA teaching and methods manual has been delayed by about three weeks, according to Headache Supervisor, Dennis Sanford. "Things have gone slower than expected," said Dennis. "We've had some problems editing the highly technical booklet but we expect it will be ready in early February." The major problem was the seemingly unex­pected arrival of Christmas which caught Technical Committee Chairman Horst Abraham with a full ski school and little time to devote to final rewriting. "Those instructors who have seen the rough drafts or heard Horst at a clinic are very excited," Dennis said. "Horst and his committee have done an excellent job. The methods, the sequence and the new ideas will give PSIA instructors many new tools. But the big winner will be our students. We believe they'll learn faster and have more fun than ever before." The book will be available to all PSIA members as soon as it's off the press. Watch for it. Try the ideas and be ready to discuss them in Vail this spring. JANUARY, 1972 - VOL. 6, NO.4 INTERMOUNTAIN TRIES NEW CLINIC METHOD Like all divisions, Intermountain was faced with serio.!l~ corYUllunications problems amonr;;-ts il:;';".ructors. Under Clark Parkinson, Keith Lange, AI Ellis, Lous Lorenz and others, many mis­understandings about technique and examining have been cleared up. Using two-man examiner/demon­strator teams that travel directly to ski areas, Intermountain is spreading the word. In a nut shell, here's what led to the idea: Large schools in the division (Alta, Park City, Sun Valley, etc.) had plenty of good teachers and a high percentage of the division's exam­iners. They cliniced regularly and these ski teachers were kept informed of changes, new methods, new ideas. Unfortunately, the gospel according to the Technical Committee didn't always filter down to the ski pro at small areas. The results were hard feelings at exam time and worse, pos­sible inconsistency in teaching. Enter Keith Lange and Lou Lorenz with a grabber of an idea and filled with the enthusiasm of a true pro. "Since we have a well-trained Inter­mountain Demonstration Team," they reasoned, "why not put them to work more than once a year?" Their idea was to team up a demo team member with an examiner and have them spread the word to instructors at smaller areas. "Team members know how to ski the technique and our examiners can explain it so why not put them together and for a high­powered duet of technical skill and knowledge. Then, virtually every divi­sion member will see the technique and hear it explained. The program began last summer as a test, minus the demonstrator. Divi­sion examiners travelled to eight ski schools for clinics and instructors were enthusiastic about the program. So enthusiastic that this season, the Intermountain whiz kids added the demo team member and have sched-uled 10 stops. Division officials are hopeful that the expanded program will be even better. According to Parkinson, who is now Past-President, "We believe the team approach will do a great job of bringing the concept of technique and certification pro­cedures to our instructors. The team idea makes sense. Per­haps it's an approach that should be considered by other divisions and will probably be used in the future on a national level by PSIA. It's worth thinking about. HAVE YOU MOVED? Had a moving experience lately? Many people do so if your address has changed, please let us know. Nifty new things are happening all the time and we want you to know about them. Send your new location to PSIA, 1801 York Street in Denver 80206. PRESIDENT'S REPORT by Judge Jimmy Johnston Want more income? Expect complimentary lift passes? Need ski equipment at cost? Well, PSIA is involved in these problems and although we don't have all the answers, we're working on them. What you are paid is pretty much between you and your employer or the company you contract with. However, PSIA is striving to enhance your professional ability, stature and image so you can command a higher salary. Through public service advertising, we are promoting the importance of taking ski lessons. Our ads have received considerable use as has the TV commercial. We are doing something to give the PSIA shield strong national identification and demand for your services should be increasing. But basically, it's up to you to make your services more valuable. Just hanging a ski school sign or putting "instructor" on your parka won't do it. Success comes to those who seek it. As to ski areas, I personally feel that most of the ski area operators have been pretty generous in the past with complimentary tickets. Situations and conditions vary but basically, if you are a ski pro regularly engaged in ski teaching you don't have a great many opportunities to leave your school and travel to other areas. When you do, you should be willing to purchase a ticket. On the other hand, you are in close contact with people who look to you for advice about where to ski. It's a good opportunity for the area operator to recognize your influence in promoting his area and offer you an appropriate discount as a gesture of good will. The greatest mistake we can make however, is to expect some ski lift favor just because we are ski instructors. PSIA is presently in conference with NSAA officials and hopefully some suggested national policy will result. You can help by thanking the operator in.JWrsoD...When!eaving his area or by fetter wnan you get back home. PSIA is also concerned about ski equipment discounts. Every manufacturer and distributor would love to have you using his equipment but some ski shop operators consider the special offers to ski instructors as a threat to their business. A few shops seem to have become preoccupied about it and have used a few unusual experiences to imply that improper or unethical practice are the rule rather than the exception. Nevertheless, manufacturers and distributors have continued to deal with us on a profeSSional basis. And it is up to us to police ourselves. In addition, I would suggest that you do your part by writing to the supplier and thanking him for making his equipment available. That sort of thoughtfulness will go a long way to keep our professional discounts. Another thing you can do is visit the ski shops in nearby towns and cities. Get to know the people. Offer to have them join a ski class or just come and ski with you. Ski shop personnel can be one of our best sources for referral business. At the same time, talk with the owner and let him know that you understand his problems and offer to cooperate in any way you can. Income, comp tickets and equipment deals are all very much a part of the PSIA master plan. We are keeping abreast of these problems and we are working hard for solutions. Now the ball is in your court. PSIA TO SIGN WELLS LAMONT PSIA has nearly completed negoti­ating a contract with Wells Lamont, manufacturer of ProMark gloves, to build and market a special PSIA glove. Contract terms call for the firm to pay PSIA for the use of their name and logo. The two-year contract with a one­year renewable option allows Wells Lamont to use the PSIA logo to adver­tise and sell their special red, white and blue pro model beginning next fall. The glove sells for about $20 ($10 to PSIA members) and will be offered only in reputable, high quality ski shops. All advertising material will be submitted to PSIA for approval. The glove was shown to the Board last September and field tested during the early winter.IAtHGaHeflSare that the Wells Lamont glove is good and will stand up to the tough demands of the teaching pro. When negotiations are complete, everyone will benefit. Wells Lamont will have the image and help of PSIA to sell more gloves, members will get a substantial dis­count and PSIA will have an extra income. The moral of the story: Give some­one a hand and they may put a glove on it. THE NEW PSIA DOLLAR SIGN How can you sell more lessons? One way is the colorful new PSIA vinyl ski school class signs with self-sticking adhesive backing. We call them "dol/ar signs" be­cause when they're displayed in your ski school meeting area, they sell lessons and make dollars for you. The signs are red, white and blue and feature the international letter system for class identification. Skiers need help and a selling effort to sign them up for ski school is important. The PSIA "dol/ar signs" should help you do both. Complete sets (A thru F) are available from the office at $15 per set. Holding the sign is liJennis Sanford and Pat O'Hare of Denver. 42 West German ski instructors arrived in Denver in mid-January for 2V2 weeks of skiing and technical meetings. The group is headed by Burtl Seifert, German Interski Team coach. Coordinating the efforts is Nancy Johnson (RMSIA). The United States Travel Service, under its "Ski America" program helped plan the trip to encourage Germans to ski,in this country. WHO? Saska Sports Industries has ac­quired the stock of Henke Overseas, Inc. They will handle sales of Henke boots and Gertsch bindings. Mike Erickson, former advertising and public relations director of Head Ski Company has been named Execu­tive Director of U.S.SA Curt Chase, director of the Aspen Ski School and ski designer Roby Albouy are English edition publishers of the new book, "Teach Yourself To Ski" by Georges Joubert. Considered must reading for serious instructors, Curt will sell at a discount to PSIA members. Write Box 3071 in Aspen. Curt has also added a nice touch to the initials G.L.M. He's calling it "Guar-an teed Learning -Method". That should sell some extra lessons. Hart Ski Co. has joined Bonnie Bell Cosmetics to co-sponsor a $20,000 pro race at Steamboat Springs in March. Kite riding Jeff Jobe moves to Snow­bird in Utah along with Corky Fowler who was named director of the Exhi­bition Division. Madonna Mountain in Vermont is letting local grade and high school kids ski free one morning or afternoon per week. If you're over 70, you can ski free at Loon Mountain in New Hampshire during the week. Chris Rounds, former Assistant D.U. ski coach and Paul Jankauskas of Vail have joined the Hart Ski Co. racer service staff.

How about some recognition for the old timers. When a mem­ber gets ten years how about some little special pin to wear. There would not be many for a while but it would identify those who have helped for some time. This could also be done for school memberships. Some special wall plaque of something. It is nice to be recognized for being in an organi­zation for a while. The state of Maryland now has name tags for cars. Our two 71 's have these; the big wagon has "SKI" and our town car has, you guessed it, "PSIA". Our friends are sur­prised we did not use SKI, FLY, and SAIL as we also have a convert. But, the ski busi­ness came out first. Have a good winter. Sincerely, Gil Warren E. Gilbertson Rockville, Md. Gentlemen: This is to inform you that oU'r mailing address has been changed from La Paz, Bolivia, to Colombia: Jerry and Judith Sibley Apartado Aereo 902 Ibague, Colombia As you know Peace Corps was asked to leave Bolivia by the government of J.

We are finishing our two year contract here in Colombia, and are due to leave the end of February, 1972.

For the first time in the organization's ten-year history, money was allocated for a first-class promo­tional assault on the nation's ski publishers, radio and television, ski writers and the working press. Preliminary results are in and they look good. PSIA ads have appeared in the leading ski magazines, in college newspapers and airline publications. 500 radio stations across the country received public service commercials and the top 200 TV stations were sent a 30-second film spot. The stations are using the material and the public is learning about PSIA. Now it's up to you. All of us must make an effort to sell PSIA on the local level. Contact your local stations. If they don't have material, tell them to write and we'll send it. Talk to your newspaper. Invite them to your area for a day of picture taking and story writing (on the house, of course). Offer to supply the news media with help and information. They are always looking for interesting stories to cover and as a ski pro, you have a great story to tell. Finally, wear your pin or PSIA patch. It identifies you as a pro and tells the public it's true what they've heard about PSIA. It really does happen and you can make them a better skier. And friend, that's what it's all about. MEET HELEN HAVES Is there anything unusual about a perky 30-year-old ski instructor work­ing part time at Winter Park, Colo­rado, who speaks with an accent, learned to ski at St. Moritz and is teaching in this country because she lo.ves. to ski powder? Not much; you sa'}'. What if you knew her accent is not French or German but a rather clipped British. She's Helen Hayes from Argyll in the Scottish highlands and is fully certified by the British Association of Ski Instructors. Helen is a rarity. A real life Scot who not only teaches but can ski the kilts off most men. She didn't start skiing until she was 21 and then had to leave Scotland to do it. "There are three ski areas in Scotland," she says, "but they suffer from bad weather and unpredictable conditions. The snow is wet and heavy and there is a lot of wind." Helen went to Switzerland to learn and then skied there and in France. She has taught skiing in Scotland but with the mild weather, it was difficult to count on snow. Helen says that making the switch from the British technique to the professiona~ ski instructors of america, inc. 1801 york street PSIA system was not difficult. "There is very little difference in tech­nique," she says. "TbablggesL _ difference between the two instructor groups is that the British have three phases of Certification instead of two. The highest rating is called Teacher Instructor and is much like ski school supervisors in this country. Helen says that only two instructors passed that exam last year. Many ski students expect their instructor to have an accent. "But," says Helen, "my British diction comes as a bit of a surprise. Once they get over the shock, we all get along just fine." Helen is living at Winter Park this winter but only teaches part time. "I love to ski in the powder so I leave lots of days free so I can do it. Powder brought me to the United States and it's difficult to let anything interfere with it, even students." Spoken like a true ski freak.

S. I. A. nEWSLETTER VOLUME 1972, NO.3 APRIL 1972 Photo by KEN PERKINS 2 I.S.I.A. Joins P .S.I.A. Article by Clark Parkinson The Board of Directors during their last meeting, voted to ratify the P.S.I.A. By-laws, thereby, automatically including all Certified, Associate, and Registered Apprentices, members of I.S.I.A., as members of P.S.I.A. as of July, 1, 1972. This action culminates four years of dis­cussion and debate concerning joining P.S.I.A. on a divisional versus an individual basis. Initially, the B.O.D. voted in 1969 to join. However, an incorrect copy of the By-laws was approved, and the original ratification was re­scinded. Later, the B.O.D. voted not to ratify and recommended that Certified members join on an individual basis. During the past year, it became obvious that P.S.I.A. in its present form was going to continue and that positive plans and programs were underway. In addition, continued absence from national activities by I.S.I.A. threatened to isolate our Division from not only the other Divisions, but the de­velopments in skiing across the country. This action by the B.O.D. means our mem­bers will now have a voice in the policy de" cisions of the national organization. I.S.I.A. will have an elected representative on the P.S.I.A. B.O.D. with one vote, plus one addi­tional vote for each 200 Associate and Cer­tified members over 200 in the Division. This will give 1. S.l,/\.'s representative two votes on the P.S.I.A. B.O.D. In addition, each Cer­tified member will have one vote, and each Associate will have one-half vote in the P.S.I.A. Annual General Meeting. Registered Apprentices do not have a vote nor do they count toward the number of votes our B.O.D. member has. Certified and Associate dues will be $25.00. Ten dollars collected will be sent to P.S.I.A., $15.00 remains for I.S.I.A. dues. Registered Apprentices will have dues of $17.00, $2.00 of which will be sent to P.S.I.A. All members will receive the P.S.I.A. Ski Pro Newsletter and all other mailings. Each Certified member can wear the P.S.I.A. badge with his or her name engraved on it, and Associate members can wear the cloth patch. Registered Apprentices are not elig­ible for any identification. Each Certified and Associate member will receive a plastic membership card after paying 1972-73 dues. The I.S.I.A. B.O.D. encourages all mem­bers to support P.S.I.A. Changes in the or­ganization can and will be made. P.S.I.A. isn't perfect. All of us are members now, and active participation is encouraged not only by the I.S.I.A. Officers and B.O.D. members, but the P.S.I.A. leadership as well. Any organization is only as good as its membership. I.S.I.A. can make a positive contribution to the national organization, and as a direct result, all members of our Division will directly benefit. Report from I.S.I.A. Certification V.P.

GEORG HARTLMAIER WRITES FROM BRIAN HEAD Dear Dave: This photo was taken right after Georgi took a 2nd place in a Giant Slalom here at Brian Head. Georgi is eight years old, and since there was no Pee Wee Class, he had to race against boys up to eighteen. He started skiing at 2~ and racing when he was only 5 years old. Georgi's little brother Robi is 6 years old. He also started skiing at the age of 2~. He told me that he also would like to race but he does not like them "sticks'.' (slalom poles.) Little sister Stefanie Veronika is 3 years old and already digs skiing. You can imagine that old Daddy is very proud of his trio. Best wishes, Georg P .S.I.A. MEET AT VAIL The }"., ;.1.".

NOTES FROM EXECUTIVE SECRETARY We would like to extend a special welcome to all of the new Registered Ap­prentices in I.S.I.A. I have had many calls regarding membership cards for Registered personnel, but as yet, there is no such card available. I have been anxious to send registered instructors a brochure we are having printed for them, however, it isn't completed at this time. Because of limited supplies, I am unable to send copies of the I.S.I.A. Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or Certification Policies to the membership. Certification Policies are available through the Area Certification Representa­tive; and upon request I will be happy to send By-laws and Articles of Incorporation. LOST MEMBERS Mail has been returned for the follow­ing instructors. If you know a current ad­dress for them, please call me at the office of I.S.I.A., 278-0562, or mail to: 7234 Jonathan Circle, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121.

KEITH LANGE IS CHAIRMAN OF SPRING CLINIC AT ALTA April 30-May 1 & 2 Alta will b'ost the annual convention again this year during the first weekend in May. Easter, NASIC II, and the Alta Gelande Contest interferred with any earlier dates. Peruvian Lodge has tentatively been set as con­vention headquarters. For the second time in three years, Keith Lange will lend his talents and energies to the Clinic. Marv Casey Alta Ski School will serve as Assistant Chairman. Marv has served as Arrangements Chairman for the last two clinics. The Communication Committee headed by Dave Chaplin will assist Keith and Marv in the areas of pub­licity. Promotion and arrangements chairman, Ken Osswald, will plan a new type of "attitude adjustment" party. Although a theme has not been set, the general for­mat has been approved by the B.O.D. They are subject to change of course, but are tentatively set as follows: ,,< Graduated Length Method .•. K-2 Ski Company and ISlA Demo Team. ,,< 9th Interski Interpretations ... Max Lundberg and ISlA Demo Team ~, Varia tions in Ski School Methods' •.. Phil Jones Selected Ski Schools ~, Certification Phil Jones - Certification Committee * Fundamentals of Racing Techniques ...

Schedule your time to attend. Each member is required to attend at least once every two years for the purpose of re-certification. Come and enjoy the pleasure of skiing with the best ski instructors in the country. -- Clark Parkinson SOME THOUGHTS P.S.I.A. Although the B.O.D. voted not to ratify the P.S.I.A. by-laws, each member felt that a national organization was desirable and necessary. They also felt that all full certified members should join P.S.I.A. individually. A 100% membership in P.S.I.A. by I.S.I.A. full certified instructors would be an expression of our support of P.S.I.A. and our investment and commitment to a national organization. I feel each full certified instructor in our division has an obligation to support P.S.I.A. now, when it needs not only the financial but moral suppor-t the most. P.S.I.A. has reorganized, it has a new Presi­dent, it fielded an Interski team and in cooperation with NASIC will host this event. The P.S.I.A. office is more centrally located, and all members, ski schools and divisions have been computerized. There are more things to come and with your support, P.S.I.A. will truly become the "umbrella" over the divisional opera­tions. LS.LA. Elections For the first time, we will be voting by mail. The nominations deadline of March 5th was extended to March 12th to insure that all candidates who wished to run could. The candidates and their backgrounds are out­lined in this issue. Please read the bibliographies carefully and make your judgment not on personality or ski school, but on what the candidate can contribute to the Association. Also, consider that of the four present B.O.D. members running for re:electlon~-two--are officers, one is chairman of a major committee and the other has served on the B.O.D. for 14 years and is a past President and Certification Chairman. The B.O.D. election is not a personality contest. B.O.D. members are expected to be able to chair committees and, of course, most often become the cfficers of the Associa­tion. U.S.S.A.-LD. & LS.LA. Did I.S.I.A. donate $500 to the Intermountain Divi-sion of USSA? No! Did I.S.I.A. agree to a two-year pact of $1.50 per year per member? ..• No! I.S.I.A. did, however, receive a free membership in USSA-ID for 1970-71 on the basis that we would consider a three-year agreement for $3.00 ($1.50 1971-72 and $1.50 1972-73). However, on my recommendation, the B.O.D. moved that no membership in mass be made at this time with Intermountain Division. I felt, and the BOD agreed, that due to the adverse publicity in the news­papers and the confusion that existed among the Inter­mountain Division officers over what their membership chairman was doing, it was best not to enter any type of relationship on a lower than club-rate basis. Many instructors were opposed to duplicate memberships and some felt that any relationship on a mandatory in-mass basis was undesirable. Some also felt that the member­ships would be politically manipulated. It's unfortunate, I feel, that things turned out as they did. The RMSIA joined USSA-RMD for $1.00 and the instructors are supporting the amateur division. Hope­fully, those instructors not currently members of USSA­ID will join and support the national ski organization. 2 Our President, Clark Parkinson. OUR STAFF Editorial Direction ........•..••..•.

The schools who partipated are as follows: Ski School Beaver Mountain Pomerelle Brighton & Solitude Grand Targhee, Teton, Kelly Canyon Monticello Park City West Held at: Park Ci ty Pomerelle Solitude Grand Targhee Monticello Soli tude Certification Oriented Conducting: Phil Jones and Clark Parkinson Lou Lorenz Phil Jones Dave Parkinson & Craig Bennion Junior Bounous Max Lundberg The clinics conducted were held primarily on certifica­tion preparation and teaching methods. We hope that everyone can appreciate what the association offered the membership this year and if funds allow, we will try to offer this service again next year. I know that all the individuals attending the area clinics really benefited from them and the directors involved greatly appreciated them. Thank you for your participation and cooperation with the Clinic Committee. -- Dave Parkinson Dave Parkinson, Clinic Chairman Dave Chaplin and hard boiled egg. GRINDERS AND HAMBURGERS How often have you been assigned a ski class of chil­dren and said - "Oh boy! Kids don't listen, they can't do what I tell them - it's going to be one of those days." May I suggest a few things to make "those days" into days you look forward to. First, you're right, kids don't listen. Most of them carne to ski school to ski and if skiing is fun to you, show them how much fun it can be. What do kids do for fun? Just the same as you - they play games. But kids have a little different slant on a game than grownups - or until grownups impose their values on kids' games -- kids play and compete to be playing or compet ing. Second, kids probably won't do what you tell them. But, they can do what you show them better than most adults. Third, it really isn't too important to the little folk to know what they are doing, but it is more fun to give an exercise a name with which the kid can identify. "Batman turns, Grinders, Hamburgers, Wheelies, and Knee­wiggles," are some of the ski school exercises which are easier to identify than Angulation, Forward Lean, Weight Transfer and Hop Garlands. Finally, kids are physically different than adults in several ways. Perhaps the most notable is that they do not have the weight to manipulate skis in the same way grownup people do. Also, most children's skis gen­erally don't respond with the same flexation as adult's skis. Children usually adapt very well to this differ­ent body/ski relationship with a combination of rearward lean and ql\ick movements to one ski. I'm sure that if we were asked to ski on equipment of the sort most chil­dren are presented with, many of us wouldn't be skiing. So have a good time, don't be too serious with the little people and remember it's usually their par-ents who think kids should ski parallel ... do you? -- Dave Chaplin Photo by Dick Conley. Ril~ Washburn:i:if~ee­Sl~ i Contest Rik Washburn of Park City Ski School traveled to Waterville Valley, New Hampshire to compete in the Free Skiing Contest. The contest was held on March 8th. Rik was up against some of the best trick and free skiers in the world. The invitation to participate in this event was a real compliment to Rik. 4 B.O.O .. No and Yes for P.S.l.A. in'71·'72 Lou Lorenz Considerations for P.S.I.A. -- - A need for a national instructor coordinating agency to coordinate policy on administration, certi­fication and technique to provide national and interna­tional communication. Considerations against P.S.I.A. -- - Very low percentage of ISlA members are now sup­porting PSIA as individuals. - What is PSIA ~ doing that will help ISlA or its members? - ISlA was not involved in 1970-71, we saved $5,000. What did we lose? How could we use this amount of money -ourselves? Will all divisions join again in 1971-72? - ISlA administrative expense will increase as a result of more bookkeeping, expenses for committee members, etc. - ISlA may lose some members if they are required to be PSIA members. - PSIA is a very controversial organization. Do we want to inherit controversy? Is mandatory membership in any organization a pres­tigious situation? - Should PSIA membership be a requirement for all ISlA members? Of the above considerations, all directors agreed that ISlA should support a national organization. However, all directors did not agree that PSIA as presently structured should be forced on all ISlA members. Mandatory member­ship in PSIA seemed to be the main objection to the entire plan. Since this is a matter of great importance to the mem­bers and the Association, the BOD decided that it would be necessary to present a plan that all directors could agree on. The BOD voted unanimously to not ratify and join PSIA for the year 1971-72. The BOD also voted unanimously to diligently pursue a plan to have 100% ISlA full certified members join PSIA as individuals in 1971-72. Continued on page 8. PARK CITY'S WINTER CARNIVAL HELD Park City held its first Annual Winter Festival this past month. A parade down Main Street started off the fun. Dog sled races were one of the main attractions with several teams entered in competition. Our local bartenders challenged all corners in a Bartender's Race. Saturday evening a de­licious roast beef dinner was served at the Memorial Building on Main Street. Sunday the ISlA Demonstration Team put On an exhibition at Park City West. The festivities came to an end with a torch light parade down Main Street led by the Winter Festival Queen cathy Vail and a torch light parade down Payday ski run at Park City Resort by the resort's ski instructors. -- Mary Lou Gallion The Demonstration Team at Park City West. Mary Lou Gallion Parl~ City Resort Purchased Treasure Mountain Resort Company assumed operation of Park City Resort on February 16, 1971. Purchase price for approximately 4,200 acres and re­sort facilities from United Park City Mines is in ex­cess of $5,500,000. In addition to UPCM properties, option to purchase 840 acre Holladay and Cottonwood Stake Ranch was exercised by Treasure Mountain Resort Company. Expenditure of over $100 million during the next 10 years is planned. Included in development plans is the construction of 20 plus ski lifts and many major ski runs, overnight accomodations, private homesites, con­dominiums, residential and commercial villages, an 18- hole championship golf course and equestrian center, with boating facilities on the proposed Jordanelle Reservoir. Park City Resort's skier capacity will be increased to approximately 19,000 skiers from its present 3,000 in the next 10 years. First year development will include construction of multi-purpose building adjoining the present resort cen­ter, expansion of golf course to 18 holes, installation of two or three high capacity ski lifts, construction of 50,000 square feet of condominium complexes and 100 homesites. Approximately three million dollars will be spent during 1971 by Treasure Mountain Resort Company. -- Mary Lou Gallion '5 I.S.l.A. PARTY HELD AT SOLITUDE The I.S.I.A. sponsored a free ski party for its mem­bers Friday night, February 5. The party started with free night skiing on Moonbeam and a series of events to test instructors' various skills at who knows what. for those who never could hold an edge there was the "Long Sideslip" contest which was won by Marv Casey who tried in vain for some 75 yards to get a bit into the snow. Bill Haskins was to offer Casey some keen compe­tition but hung both outside edges at about 30 mph and the judges decided that double side flips didn't count. The "Harold Hot" contest was geared to those who may not look too elegant but can get their skis from east to west anyhow. The course consisted of two gates 15 yards apart and whoever does the most turns between the two wins. Gene Christiansen won with 46 turns. Next was the "Royal Flush" which catered to the slalom specialist. Despite fierce competition on the 7 gate course, Georg Hartlmaier won handily with a 6.25 second time. The next race was skiing full-tilt through a slalom, backwards, and it was named appropriately enough the "Horse's Ass" race. Proving himself by turning in the best time was Bob Parker who received an interesting gold trophy of, just as the name implies, the hind quarters of a horse. The last race was the wax race to the beer at the bottom and was won by Orvil Baker. After the races there was a chile and frank dinner and free beer inside the Solitude Lodge. Trophies and prizes were presented by Keith Lange bringing the party to a close. Those 100 to 150 in attendance all had a great time and look forward to next year's ski party. Thanks go to Solitude resort for the use vf their facilities; Vagabond Sports, Skiers of Salt Lake, Stevens & Brown Sporting Goods and the Matterhorn Ski Shops for donated prizes and to Dave "Lucky Lager" Thurgood for the free beer. Special thanks to Keith Lange and Leon Dean .for their organizing efforts. Scott Boyer Bill Lash, I.S.I.A. Pioneer. How the I.SJ.A. Began The key people involved in the early certification program were the Engen brothers, Alf, Sverre, and Kaare (Corey). They were the pros. F. C. (Felix) Koziol, Supervisor, Wasatch National Forest, was the instigator of the pro­gram. After World War II there was a boom in skiing. The Intermountain Ski Association followed the trend of the East, Farwest and Pacific Northwest in establishing a means of qualifying ski teachers. KOzy outlined a plan in 1947. Sverre was the chairman, Art Johansen was the Examiner. As a matter of fact he gave the test to Claude Francis Jones in March of 1947 at Brighton -- the day the big slide came down. First Exam In '49 Not much came of the program until 1949. This was the first real exam. It was held in Alta on December 5th and 6th, 1949. Alf and Corey ran the program. The test was given for three grades patterned after the Pacific Northwest; master instructor, instructor and apprentice. The cost was $10.00 and renewals were $2.50. At that his­toric exam were Bob Beck, Laury Mauss and Corey Engen from Ogden; Wallace Saling, Pleasant Grove; Earl Miller, Merrill Fletcher, Irma Slirmore and Junior Bounous from Provo; El­mer and Loree Womack from Ashton, Idaho; Bill Ashley from Jackson; Tom Foley, Alf, Sverre and Lois Engen, Ray Van Pelt from Alta; and Jessie Kimbal Smith, Jr. (K), Bob Joseph Robert Smith, Bob Groesbeck, Gordon Despain from Brighton. 6 I didn't make the first clinic and exam because the message didn't reach Idaho (I had the ski school at Magic Mtn. with Claude Francis Jones). But the Forest Service said I had to be Certified to teach, sol made arrangements for a special exam at Alta on March 14th, 1950 with Alf. I paid Alf the private lesson fee of $6.00 per hour, plus the fee. I was a little disappointed with the system. After all, I had studied and prepared for three years for the test. Clinic held in '50 In December of 1950, there was a clinic and exam. Woody (Alexander Woodruff Anderson) went through that one. I started school at the University of Utah in March 1950 and in the fall I went back to try to beat the draft (Korean War). It wasn't easy. I was number six in my draft board and I flunked English. I did get a defer­ment and went back to school. I took a class called Methods of Ski Teaching, taught by Professor Friedl Lang (Gotfried Otto Lang), who was in the Department of Anthro­pology and was the ski coach at the University of Utah. Friedl was a pro. He was Certified in the East in 1942 and taught for Hannes Schneider in North Conway. Among Friedl's projects was the first ski school director at Little Mountain, Actually, Alf had the special use per­mit and gave the school to Friedl. Friedl also coached the University ski team, was president of the University ski club, and taught a full schedule at the University. So, he had Chuck Rowan (Charles Henry Rowan) run the ski school at Little Mountain. (That is where I met Lou (Louis Charles Lorenz) - he was punching tickets on the rope tow. He had G.I. ski pants and long hair. I gave his girl friend, Betty, her first ski lesson. She has told me it was the worst lesson she ever had. Association formed The next clinic and exam was held December 12 and 13, 1950 at Alta. It was at this time that Kozy was beginning to see that it was going to be a big undertaking, so he rec­ommended that the instructors form their own association. There were about 27 certified people at that time. Kozy now was back to two classifications, Full and Apprentice. Elections were held and Friedl was elected President, Corey Engen, Vice President, and Jessie Kimball Smith Jr. was the Secretary-Treasurer. Friedl left the University to go to Europe in June 1951. Prior to that Friedl had lived a few blocks from me and we became rather good friends. (It was at his home that I met Wilhelm Joseph Schaeffler in December of 1950. Willy was a pro and I was impressed.) When Friedl left for Europe he turned the ISlA records over to me and I told him I would take care of the organization. In November of 1951, Chuck Rowan and I went to see Alf before the clinic of November 10 and 11, 1951. At this point Koziol was back to three classes of certification ... Master, Instruc­tor and Apprentice. The plan as it turned out, was to re­examine everyone. They elected officers and I was elected president. This was a big boost to my ego ... that these people would grant me the honor. I was only 23 years old. However, I later discovered that they (Alf, Sverre, Jessie and Koziol gave it to me because they did not want the work. Well, the rest is history and when I took over, we had 32 members. I am proud that I have been a part of ISlA. P.S. (I took over the ski instructors class and ski school at the UniveFsity of Utah -- in my class was Dennis (Bud) Temple and Keith August Lange. Everybody was happy in those days -- even Keith and K -- more next time.) -- Bill Lash DEMONSTRATION TEAM TO BE SELECTED Ma::c Lundberg Friday, April 30, 1971, is the date set for the sel­ection of ISlA's 1971-72 Demonstration Team. The sel­ection of team members will take place at Alta begin­ning with a 10:00 a.m. meeting at the bottom of the Wildcat Lift. The only requirement for those wishing to tryout are that they be fully certified, have time to visit a few ski areas other than the one in which they work, and are members in good standing of ISlA. In the past few months I have had the pleasure of find­ing out what a division demonstration team can do. The opportunities for using such a group are far greater than I had expected. Early this year the members of our team presented a skiing demonstration in Burley. The presentation was sponsored by ISA and proved to be as worthwhile for their organization as it was informative and enter­taining for the people who watched the demonstration. The team has also demonstrated for the Color Country Winter Classic at Brian Head, Utah and Park City West for the 1st Annual Park City Snow Carnival. The final demonstrations of this season will be at Sky­line and Alta. Skiing, its fun and variations, will be the theme of the demoffi tration to be put on at Sky­line on March 14th. The demonstration at Alta will be during the Spring Clinic and will include an interpre­tation of the demonstration presented by the United States Demonstration Team during 9th INTERSKI, a demon­stration of the GLM program, and a demonstration of some of the materials presented by nations that parti­cipated in INTERSKI other than the United States.

All members of the BOD present at the meeting agreed to be members of d committee to sell PSIA membership. If this plan can be accomplished we can present our views (backed by our financial support) to the PSIA BOD and if nothing more, tell them that we (ISlA) have some firm con­victions, and are willing to stand fast for them. If the plan does not work, we will have a definite indication that our members are not interested in PSIA and the ques­tion need not be raised again. All fully certified members have received a letter from the BOD requesting their application and $15.00 for 71-72 dues for PSIA. You will be further solicited by key people in your ski school. Let's all get in and let all the divisions in the U.S. know that Intermountain is still a division whose members are doing their own thinking and would like to continue to do so. Associate members also should be concerned in this mat­ter but cannot be solicited because PSIA structure does not allow for individual associate membership. Please direct your questions to any ISlA officer or BOD member. I. S. I. A. NEWSLETTER 136 East South Temple Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 -- Lou Lorenz / ,} /..,.".. B.O.D. The recent Board Meeting of the Board of Directors was held November 19th, 1971 at Maddox Restaurant, Brigham City, Utah. Many interesting items of business were transacted. Some of the highlights of that meeting are as follows: ,!, Mail election of BoardMembers will be conducted in the next couple of months. * After some discussion as to whether or not to select a new Demonstration Team this spring, the Board de­cided to leave additions or deletions to the Demon­stration Team up to the Demo Team coach, Max Lundberg. * It was decided that I.S.I.S. not join I.S.A. on a group basis, but the Board did encourage members to join on an individual basis. * The Board decided not to ratify the P.S.I.A. By-Laws on a divisional basis, but to encourage all fully certified members to join on an individual basis and to take steps to encourage 100% participation on an individual basis. * The Spring Clinic will be held on the first week-end in May and Keith Lange accepted the job as chairman of said clinic, ,!, The dues for members and those in a registered status are increased to $15.00 per year effective upon the next billing. It is the view of your Secretary that the above matters are worthy of note and should be brought to your atten­tion apart from the printed minutes. Ed Pond, Secretary idwin J. ~onJ.
