S. 1. A. nEWSLETTER VOLUME I - 1973 NO. 2 EXAMINERS CLINIC KICKS OFF SEASON Alta Ho.sts Early Meeting While most IoS.I.A. members were raking leaves, putting away the barbeque for the winter or frantically trying to get· in reasonable shape for the ski season, 50 enthusiastic, but hesitant examiners, Ski School Directors and would-be-examiners trecked to Alta for a two-day clinic. There was snow at Alta on Nov. 4th, .but not in great depths. The lifts were not operating, but that didn't stop the clinic participants. Just below the Gelande Jump a large area was packed out. Huffing, puffing and groaning could be heard as far away as the Peruvian Lodge as that "first turn" was attempted. The purpose of' this early ski adventure was the Annual Examiners Clinic conducted by the Certification Committee. All attending the clinic had not set a ski on the snow, except a few "Alta residents", who will remain nameless, and the first few turns by all were truly experimental. Members of Robin Locke's Demo Team looked like they had been skiing for months. The team demonstrated for the group acceptable forms for the exams this season. It was generally concluded that much less emphasis will be placed on demos in the exams, and many variations of steered, basic christi and parallel turns were observed. After the team members performed, everybody hiked up and broke into groups and then attempted the three forms shown by the team. After the patch of snow everyone was sliding on was skied off, the Saturday session ended. The Ski School Directors then held a meeting and the Certification Committee met to iron out common problems. MAX AND ROBIN TELL THEM HOW IT IS EDWIN POND SHOWS DAVE PARKINSON THE GLIDING WEDGE I-CATION POLICY WITH Left to right - Paul Ramlow, Harold Oglosbee, Marv Casey and Gene Christiansen Ski School Directors Nix Get Hot Proposals Bob Theobald, head of the Solitude Get Hot Program, requested that the I.S.I.A. Ski School Directors endorse his get hot program. At the Ski School Directors Meeting at Alta, during the Examiners Clinic, Bob presented his proposal to the directors and the Certification Committee. The directors voted not to "endorse or reject the program." A letter to Bob from the directors was Sunday a short session sent as follows: was held inside.

Association itself." I Pepi Steigler Named Technical Vice President PEPI STEIGLER Keith Lange, I.S.I.A. President, reached into Wyo. to get the "best qualified" man for the Technical Vice Presidents spot. Pepi Steigler, Jackson Hole Ski School Director, has enthusiastically agreed to take the job, "so long as he can really do something." Since coming to the U. S. and taking over the school at Jackson, Pepi has had a.n interest in 1. S. 1. A. and attended clinics and seminars even before becoming a member. Pepi has participated in two past spring clinics, conducting the racing portions of the programs. The I.S.I.A. Board of Directors on December 5, 1970, voted to accept Pepi as a member on a transfer basis, which was a precedent setting decision, since prior to this, foreign instructors wishing to transfer into I.S.I.A. were required to take the certification exam. The decision was probably made because nobody wanted to be put in the position of having to go out and exam in an Olympic medal winner! Pepi's credentials for this important post are fantastic. The Technical Vice President must help the Certification Committee in analyzing ski techniques. His committee must be able to interpret all of the technical facets of skiing and ski teaching. He must be able to relate them to our current ~ FILL YOUR SKIING NEEDS ~ AT THE MOUNTAIN ~... ~be :t. Woobbati~ OF BRIGHTON ~ & SOLITUDE .~ Dave Larsen - proprietor teaching methods and exam procedures. Pepi's experience wilt be very helpful in analyzing and interpreting the new P.S.I.A. Ski ~ethods Manual and its recent modifications. SKI SHOPS RUN ADS Has the I.S.I.A. Newsletter gone commercial? In a way yes. Four ski shops owned and operated by I.S. I.A. members and the Miller Ski Company have agreed to advertise in the Newsletter. The cost of the ads will help defray the expense of the Newsletter printing and mailing. The ads should be a great way of making 1. S. I.A. members aware that there are "professional" ski shops being operated by I.S.I.A. members. Our advertisers are: SKIERS SALT LAKE Dick Selger THE SPORTS LOFT Kyle and Nancy Larson VAGABOND SPORTS John Bartlett THE WOODHAUSE Dave and Marlene Larsen MILLER SKI COMPANY Earl Miller It is hoped by our advertisers, that I.S.I.A. members will patronize these shops and suggest to friends and ski school students that they consider buying their ski equipment from a "professional shop." BONNIE POND QUESTIONS Moved? Do you have a question on dues? When do I register? Call Bonnie Pond, I.S.I.A. Exec. Secretary: 278-0562 2 POMERELLE GETS NEW MANAGEMENT The Pomerelle Ski Area, east of Burley, Idaho, will be operating on a seven day a week basis for the first time this year. As a result, Lex Kunau had to relinquish the directorship of the Ski Sch<:lOl be<:-ause of his many buslness lnterests which require his attention during the week. John Ikaunieks has been named director of the fulltime ski school. John is Canadian full certified and has beeT:. teaching skiing in Canada for the past five years - four years full-time. Last season John taught at Mt. Tremblant, Quebec. He w~s involved in ski racing wlth ex-members of the Swiss, French and Canadian ski teams. This yea~, according to John, the ski school will be teaching according to the guidelines set down by the new P.S.I.A. Method. John has already transferred into I.S.I.A. and is looking forward to becoming an active ski school director in the association. Ron Malfara is the new area manager at Pomerelle. Prior to coming to Pomerelle, Ron had worked at Timberline L?dge, Mount Hood, Oregon; Slerra Blanca, New Mexico; Cloud Croft, New Mexico; Monarch, Colorado; and Sunrise Ski Area, Arizona. Ron is married, and his wife Irene is also employed at Pomerelle. Ron says Pomerelle will be open 7 days a week and with the additional new packing equipment the area has purchased all the runs will be well groomed and packed. This year Pomerelle has its own snow removal equipment to keep the road open, and will not be dependent on the Burley Highway District, who has maintained the road the past few years. With good early snow, Pomerelle opened on Saturday, November 11, 1972. The Poma Lift on Milk Run has been dismantled and replac~d by a Standlee Pony Lift. Philo West, the former manager, is working for a Boise, Idaho photo studio. B.O.D. 'S TO ENFORCE MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS During a two-day meeting in Salt Lake City, the I.S.I.Ao B.O.D. set this year's calendar, hammered out a $22,000 budget, approved several important changes in the Certification Policy, approved an agenda for the Fall Examiners Clinic, and took steps to upgrade and professionalize our Association in the dues, ethics, and credentials areas. The major items are outlined here and should be of extreme importance to every member. Stiffer Dues Policy ¥or this tiscal year ending June 31, 1973, any member who has not paid his dues within 60 days of the May 1st due date will automatically be dropped from the Association. The Administrative Vice President will mail in a separate individual mailing the dues statement on March 15th. The dues will be payable May 1st. On June 1st, if dues haven't been received, a notice will be sent notifying the member that if dues are not received in 60 days-by July lst-- his membership will automatically be suspended. This procedure is in harmony with the current Bylaws. However, in the past, several notices have been sent, and dues have been received five to six months late. This adds greatly to the Association's administrative expense, and the B.O.D. felt it was time that the individual members take the responsibility of making sure the Executive Secretary has a current address and that the member pays his dues on time. Dues are $25 and are payable May 1st for the fiscal year 1973-74. Minimum Teaching Hours Required How many I.S.I.A. members listed in our current roster are not actively teaching skiing? How many of these nonteaching members are receiving lift discounts, professional discounts on equipment, etc? Somewhere in the area of 50 to 75. At least this is the best estimate of the B.O.D. after reviewing names in the roster. In order to maintain membership, a member must (1) pay his dues, (2) attend a clinic once every two years, and (3) teach a minimum of 20 hours each season. Many members are satisfying the first two requirements, but not the third. The B.O.D. has decided that an I.S.I.A. member should be an active ski teacher in order to maintain his membership and will request each Ski School Director in the Division to submit a roster of their staff for the past season-197l-72- to the B.O.D. Names appearing in the I.S.I.A. roster, not appearing on the various ski school rosters will be asked to verify that they have taught at least 20 hours for pay in one of the two preceding ski seasons-(1970-7l, 1971-72) Those who have not taught will be given the opportunity to retire and maintain a "retired" status with the Association, paying half dues. Those not responding who have not taught and who are not currently teaching will be dropped from the roster. Allowance will be made in the future for a member who doesn't teach in a given season, but two consecutive years of not teaching the minimum hours will require the member to retire or resign. Coaches of racing teams or racing schools actively teaching fundamentals of ski racing who work 20 hours or more each season will satisfy the 20 hour reauirement. 3 EXAM RESULTS Max Lundberg, Certification Vice President, has reported to the Secretary's office that the examination held at Brighton on Dec. 16, 1972, was a success and the following candidates passed for Associates: Daniel Meldrum Mark Jensen Larry Matson Roger Marvinney Raymond Chambers John Jagger Thomas Smith WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOUR FEET-W" o,.fIoppyIOO......,..,...:eIN ons_topoin&diocomlon.

SCENE FRED FINLINSON If I.S.I.A. ever needs to implement special legislation relating to ski teachers, it has an able senator who will be ready to help. Fred Finlinson, Alta Ski teacher was elected to the Utah Senate from District 8. Fred, a Republican, has been very active in Utah politics and despite his young age has served as Assistant Attorney General, Reapportionment Consultant and was a member of the States Election Laws Review Committee. He also was Executive Director of the Utah Republican Party, Senator Bennetts Campaign Coordinator and served as a member of the Republican State and County Executive Committee. Fred is a practicing Attorney and was instrumental in the I.S.I.A. reorganization in 1971, drafting the I.S.I.A. reorganization report. He was elected to the I.S.I.A. B.O.D. to fill Andy Shearer's unexpired term in 1971 and re-elected to a full three year term in 1972, and also served as Communications Vice President in 1971-72. Congratulatior.s Fred. Do you still have time to ski? RETRACTION We would like to apologize to John Harrington for including his name on the Dropped Instructors List in the last issue of the Newsletter. It was an error on our part and his name should not have been there. Sorry John. VanDongen Named Chief Examiner At the Examiners Clinic in November, Certification Vice President, Max Lundberg, announced the appointment of Ray VanDongan as Chief Examiner in the certification program. After two years as an Associate instructor and member of I.S. I.A., Ray attained Full Certification status in April of 1968. As a member of the Ski School at Snowbird, Ray has been and is currently engaged in the capacity of supervising instructor training programs in his area. Those of you who've attended the last several years examiners clinics and other I.S. I.A. functions are probably well acquainted with Ray. All of you, however, will be interested to note that Ray is 33 years old, has three children and is expecting a fourth. He and his family reside in Provo where Ray is employed by the Brigham Young University as Director of Admissions. Congratulations to Rayon his appointment. Car' Moeller Undergoes Open Heart Surgery You would think that open-heart surgery would keep a guy down awhile and off the slopes. Well, not Carl Moeller, veteran ski teacher from Idaho Falls. Carl had a valve replaced in his heart early this fall and has completely recouperated. According to his daughter, Lynda Hassinger, (Park City ski teacher) Carl will be back on skiis very shortly. Phil Jones, Clark Parkinson and Ed Pond took charge of a blood donation drive for Carl - he needed 12 pints. Members of the Park City and Alta Ski Schools went bravely up to the L.D.S. Hospital to donate blood for Carl. Rumour has it that one donor, who will remain nameless, almost bought the farm right there in the hospital. A little smelling salts revived our brave comrade, however. Carl would like to thank Ken Perkins, Fred Finlinson, Max Lundberg and the other members of the Association who donated blood. Hurry up Carl and get better and come down and ski with us. Tom Low Will Direct Ski School at Powder Mountain Tom Low, longtime member of I.S.I.A. has been appointed Director of the ski school at the new Powder Mountain Ski Resort. Tom has been a ski teacher since 1964 and a familiar face in the Wasatch Front resorts since 1965 when he was certified. He directed the Cache County Ski School and Utah State University Ski School for a year while working on his masters degree in physical education there. After receiving his masters degree, he came to Weber State where he directed the ski program and was assistant ski coach. While there he also taught in the Earl Miller Ski School at Snow Basin. For the past two years he has instructed at Beaver Mountain and coached the racing program there. He has conducted and reported research on the graduated ski length method of instruction and skiing for mentally retarded. He has taught school at every grade level and coached gymnastics at the university level. He was also physical education director at the Ogden Weber Education Center. Tom said the Powder Mountain Ski School will feature a variety of programs such as ladies day, graduated ski length method of instruction, evening ski classes, cross country classes, alpine racing, special classes in powder skiing and trick skiing; also physical education classes in skiing that support the lifetime sports concept. Ski School Classes By Video Tape By Mary Morley Beginning with the opening of the Jackson Hole Ski Area on Dec. 9, 1972, Pepi Steigler's Ski School will introduce an experimental method of aiding in the teaching of classes. Video tape equipment has been installed in a tower on the Moran run of the Apres Vous (intermediate) mountain at Jackson Hole. The temperature inside the tower will remain constant room temperature. The instructors will direct each pupil with the use of an intercom system through a starting gate, past the video tape machines which will be recording the pupils technique. At the end of the runs, pupils and instructors will watch instant replays of the skiing, thus any mistakes which are made may be observed by the pupil and corrected or commented on by the instructor. Bill Helmbold of Jackson, Wyo. will be operating the equipment for Pepi. Pepi feels strongly that this method of teaching will aid the pupils and hopefully speed up their progress in learning to ski. • MILLER SOFT SKIES • PRO SKI POLES • NEW "500" COMPETITION BINDINGS • AND NOWCUSTOM MANUFACTURED PATROL AND SKI SCHOOL PARKAS. DON'T BE FOOLED MILLER OREM, UTAH 84057 801/225-1100 Nordic Valley Directors Look Forward to Second Year CHUCK RETALLICK Chuck Retallick, an Eastern transplant, served as ski school director at Nordic Valley last season and will be heading up the ski school again this season. Upon securing his new job last year, Chuck immediately transferred from the Eastern Association into I.S.I.A. He at~e~ded the Targhee Spring Cllnlc and the Alta Examiners Clinic this fall. Chuck is a welcome addition to I.S.I.A. He started skiing when he was very young. He was a sectional alpine champion his last two years in High School and after graduation taught skiing full-time before entering college. He received a B.A. Degree from the State University of New York and later attended Cornell University and New Mexico State University where he received a B.S. Degree in fisheries and wildlife management. Then it was back to ski teaching. After teaching at several areas in the East, he became assistant director of the Scotch Valley Ski School in New York. Then it was Westward ho. Chuck taught for Jim Isham at Sierra Blanca in New Mexico for three years. Chuck's school at Nordic Valley teaches the "GLM" approach and will use the new P.S.I.A. "ATM" Method this season. Nordic skiing will be taught, naturally. There will be at least one cross country race at Nordic Valley this year in addition to three sanctioned intermountain alpine races. Chuck invites everybody to Nordic Valley this season. 5 u.s. Team to Train at Park City A new year-around training center for U. S. Nordic and Alpine Ski Teams will be established at the Park City Resort. The center will he located near the angle station, at the gondola mid-way area. Existing boarding and bunkhouse buildings will be remodeled. When completed the new facility will accomodate approximately 100 racers and coaches. Jumping hills of 25, 45 and 60 meters are to be constructed and slalom slopes and cross country trails will be constructed. The Greater Park City Co. will stand the cost of construction - $100,000 or more - and the U.S.S,A. will maintain the facility after it opens in the fall of 1973. The site was selected because of its ideal snow conditions and its proximity to Salt Lake City. This will be the first permanent training facility for the U. S. Team and will be an obvious benefit to the team as well as sheding the spotlight on Park City and Utah skiing. The Greater Park City Co. made the proposal to the U.S,S.A. and should be complimented on their forward looking approach to resort management. ETHICS Did anyone attending the Targhee Clinic sleep Saturday night? Well, if you did, you were the only one! This type of comment was typical Sunday morning after a rowdy bunch of I.S.I.A. members and nonmembers caused a considerable ruckus, which resulted in some property damage. The B.O.D. members, as well as most members trying to sleep, took a dim view of this type of activity. The B.O.D. unanimously agreed to take firm action in the future and will regard such activities as ethics violations and will report to the Ski School Directors the individuals involved for disciplinary action. Further problems with a member will result in the B.O.D. taking the individual's membership.

S. 1. A. nEWSLETTER VOLUME I - 1973 NO. 2 EXAMINERS CLINIC KICKS OFF SEASON Alta Hosts Early Meeting While most I oS.I.A. members were raking leaves, putting away the barbeque for the winter or frantically trying to get in reasonable shape for the ski season, 50 enthusiastic, but hesitant examiners, Ski School Directors and would-be-examiners trecked to Alta for a two-day clinic. There was snow at Alta on Nov. 4th, but not in great depths . The lifts were not operating, but that didn't stop the clinic participants. Just below the Gelande Jump a large area ~as packed ou~. Huffing, puff~ng and groan~ng could be heard as far away as the Peruvian Lodge as that "first turn" was attempted. The purpose of this early ski adventure was the Annual Examiners Clinic conducted by the Certification Committee. All attending the clinic had not set a ski on the snow, except a few "Alta residents " , who will remain nameless, and the first few turns by all were truly experimental. Members of Robin Locke's Demo Team looked like they had been skiing for months . The team demonstrated for the group acceptable forms for the exams this season. It was generally concluded that much less emphasis will be placed on demos in the exams, and many variations of steered, basic christi and parallel turns were observed . After the team members performed, everybody hiked up and broke into groups and then attempted the three forms shown by the team. After the patch of snow everyone was sliding on was skied off, the Saturday session ended . The Ski School Directors then held a meeting and the C~rtification Committee met to ~ron out common problems. MAX AND ROBIN TELL THEM HOW IT IS EDWIN POND SHOWS DAVE PARKINSON THE GLIDING WEDGE Sunday a short session was held inside . Max Lundberg, Certification Vice President, reviewed the changes in the certification program and Lou Lheolrden za , sDesisrieocnto or no "f HEowdu ct oa tcioonn-, duct a pre-exam clinic ." Most Ski School Directors and others attending were enthusiastic about t his years program. Paul Ramlow, Sun Valley Director, expressed op timism concerning renewed participation by his school in I S.I.A. Earl Miller, Snow B~sin Director, voiced his ap proval of the overall program and pledged to work tow~rd more instructors from h~s school becoming certified . E NEW CERTIFI CATION POLICY WITH Left to right - Paul Ramlow, Harold Oglosbee, Marv Casey and Gene Christiansen Ski School Directors Nix Get Hot Proposals Bob Theobald, head of the Solitude Get Hot Program, requested that the I.S.I.A . Ski School Directors endorse his get hot program. At the Ski School Directors Meeting at Alta, during the Examiners Clinic, Bob presented his proposal to the directors and the Certification Committee . The directors voted not to " endorse or reject the program." A letter to Bob from the directors was sent as follows: "With regard to the above captioned presentation which you presented to the Ski School Directors Committee on November 4, 1972, at Alta, please be advised that a discussion followed in which a motion was made and unanimously carried to the effect that the Ski School Directors would not endorse your program nor would they reject your program. I t is the feeling of the Ski Sc hool Directors that they would be more favorable impressed and more inclined in the direction you want them to go were you a member of the Intermountain Ski Instructors Association itself." Pepi Steigler Named Technical Vice President PEPI STEIGLER Keith Lange, I . S. I.A. President, reached into Wyo . to get the "best qualified" man for the Technical Vice Pre s idents spo t. Pepi Steigler, Jackson Hole Ski School Director, has enthusiastically agreed to take the job, " so long as he can really do some thing." Since coming to the U. S. and taking over the school at Jackson, Pepi has had an interest in I . S. I . A. and attended clinics and seminars even before becoming a member . Pepi has participated in two past spring clinics, conducting the racing portions of the programs. The I.S .I. A. Board of Directors on December 5, 1970, voted to accept Pepi as a member on a transfer basis, which was a precedent setting decision, since prior to this, foreign instructors wishing to transfer into I.S.I.A. were required to t ake the certification exam. The decision was probably made because nobody wanted t o be put in the position of having to go out and examin an Olympic medal winner! Pepi ' s credentials for this important post are fan tastic. The Technical Vice President must help the Certification Committee in analyzing ski t echniques. His committee must be able to interpret all of the t echnical face t s of skiing and ski teaching . He must be able to relate them to our current ~ FILL YOUR SKIING NEEDS ~ AT THE MOUNTAIN ~'" (Fbe :t. Woobbati~ OF BRIGHTON ~ & SOLITUDE .~ Dave Larsen - proprietor teaching methods and exam procedures. Pepi ' s experience wil l be very helpful in anal yzing and interpreting the new P.S.I . A. Ski ~ethods Manual and its recent modifications . SKI SHOPS RUN ADS Has the I.S . I.A . Newsletter gone commercial? In a way yes . Four ski shops owned and operated by I . S. I . A. members and the Miller Ski Company have agreed to advertise in the News letter . The cost of the ads will help defray the expense of the Newsletter printing and mailing. The ads should be a great way of making 1. S. I.A. members aware that there are "professional" ski shops being operated by I.S.I.A . members . Our advertisers are : SKIERS SALT LAKE Dick Se~ger THE SPORTS LOFT Kyle and Nancy Larson VAGABOND SPORTS John Bartlett THE WOODHAUSE Dave and Mar l ene Larsen MILLER SKI COMPANY Earl Miller It is hoped by our advertisers, that I.S.I.A. members will patronize these shops and suggest to friends and ski school students that they consider buying their ski equipment from a "professional shop.

Secretary : 278-0562 2 POMERELLE GETS NEW MANAGEMENT The Pomerelle Ski Area, east of Burley, Idaho, wi l l be operating on a seven day a week basis for the first time t his year . As a result, Lex Kunau had t o relinquish the directorship of the Ski Sch<;,ol be~ause of his many bus~ness ~nterests which re quire his attention during the week . John Ikaunieks has been named director of the full time ski school. John is Canadian full certified and has beer.. t eaching skiing in Canada for the past five years - four years full-time . Last season John taught a t Mt. Tremblant, Quebec . He w~s involved in ski racing w~th ex- members of the Swiss French and Canadian ski team~. This yeaL , according to John, the ski school will be teaching according to the guidelines set down by the new P . S.I . A. Method . John has already transferred into I.S.I.A. and is looking forward to becoming an active ski school director in the association . Ron Malfara is the new area manager at Pomere lle. Prior to coming to Pomerelle, Ron had worked at Timberline L<;,dge, Mount Hood, Oregon; S~erra Blanca, New Mexico; Cloud Croft, New Mexico; Monarch, Colorado; and Sunrise Ski Area, Arizona. Ron is married, and his wife Irene is also employed at Pomerelle. Ron says Pomerelle will be open 7 days a week and with the additional new packing equipment the area has purchased all the runs will be well groomed and packed . This year Pomerelle has its own snow removal equipment to keep the road open, and will not be dependent on the Burley Highway Di s trict, who has maintained the road the past few years . With good early snow, Pomerelle opened on Saturday, November 11, 1972. The Poma Lift on Milk Run has been dismantled and replac ~ d by a Standlee Pony Lift. Philo West , the former manager , is working for a Boise, Idaho photo studio. B.O.D. 'S TO ENFORCE MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS During a two-day meeting in Salt Lake City, the I.S.I.A , B.O.D. set this year's calendar, hammered out a $22,000 budget, approved several important changes in the Certification Policy, approved an agenda for the Fall Examiners Clinic, and took steps to upgrade and professionalize our Association in the dues, ethics, and credentials areas . The major items are outlined here and should be of extreme importance to every member. Stiffer Dues Policy for this tiscal year ending June 31, 1973, any member who has not paid his dues within 60 days of the May 1st due date will automatically be dropped from the Association. The Administrative Vice President will mail in a separate individual mailing the dues statement on March 15th. The dues will be payable May 1st. On June 1st, if dues haven't been received, a notice will be sent notifying the member that if dues are not received in 60 days-by July lst-- his membership will automatically be suspended. This procedure is in harmony with the current Bylaws. However, in the past, several notices have been sent, and dues have been received five to six months late. This adds greatly to the Association's administrative expense, and the B.O.D. felt it was time that the individual members take the responsibility of making sure the Executive Secretary has a current address and that the member pays his dues on time. Dues are $25 and are payable May 1st for the fiscal year 1973-74. Minimum Teaching Hours Required How many I.S.I . A. members listed in our current ros t er are not actively teaching ski ing? How many of these nonteaching members are receiving lift discounts, professional discounts on equipment , etc? Somewhere in the area of 50 to 75 . At least thi s i s the best est imat e of the B.O.D. after reviewing names in the roster. In order to maintain membership, a member mus t (1 ) pay his dues, (2) attend a clinic once every two years, and (3) teach a minimum of 20 hours each season . Many members are satisfying the first two requirements , but not the third. The B. O. D. has decided that an I.S. I ,A. member should be an active ski teacher in order to maintain his membership and will request each Ski School Director in the Division to submit a roster of their staff for the past season-1971-72- to the B.O.D. Names appearing in the I.S.I.A. roster, not appearing on the various ski school rosters will be asked to verify that they have taught at least 20 hours for pay in one of the t wo preceding ski seasons - (19 70-71 , 1971- 72) Those who have not taught will be given the opportunity to retire and maintain a "retired" status with the Association, paying half dues. Those not responding who have not taught and who are not currently teaching will be dropped from the roster. Allowance will be made in the future for a member who doesn't teach in a given season, but two consecutive years of not teaching the minimum hours will require the member to retire or resign . Coaches of racing teams or racing schools actively teaching fundamentals of ski racing who work 20 hours or more each season will satisfy the 20 hour reouirement . EXAM RESULTS Max Lundberg, Certification Vice President, has reported to the Secretary's office that the examination held at Brighton on Dec. 16, 1972, was a success and the following candidates passed for Associates: Daniel Meldrum Mark Jensen Larry Matson Roger Marvinney Raymond Chambers John Jagger Thomas Smith BOOTS NOW ~UEDWITH ~IPIIIIII.I e WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOUR ~~I::::Sz_ILlCl)N-E -:_ FEET - Vagabond $pOIII 2100 So. 2300 E. 2313 PARLEYS WAY 485·1953 HOUJtS: Mon.

SCENE FRED FINLINSON If I.S.I.A. ever needs to implement special legislation relating to ski teachers, it has an able senator who will be ready to help. Fred Finlinson, Alta Ski teacher was elec t ed to the Utah Senate from District 8 . Fred, a Republican, has been very active in Utah politics and despite his young age has served a s Assistant Attorney General, Reapportionment Consultant and was a member of the States Elec tion Laws Review Committee . He also was Executive Director of the Utah Republican Party, Senator Bennetts Campaign Coordinator and served as a member of the Republican State and County Executive Committee . Fred is a practicing Attorney and \Vas instrumental in the I.S.I.A. reorganization in 1971 , draf t ing the I.S .I .A. reorganization report. He was elected to the I.S.I.A. B. O.D. to fill Andy Shearer's unexpired term in 1971 and re-elected to a full three year term in 1972, and also served as Communications Vice President in 1971-72. Congratulations Fred. Do you still have time to ski? RETRACTION We would like to apologize to John Harrington for including his name on the Dropped Instructors List in the last issue of the Newsletter. It was an error on our part and his name should not have been there. Sorry John. VanDongen Named Chief Examiner At the Examiners Clinic in November, Certification Vice President, Max Lundberg, announced the appointment of Ray VanDongan as Chief Examiner in the certification program. After two years as an Associate instructor and member of I.S. I.A., Ray attained Full Certification status in April of 1968. As a member of the Ski School at Snowbird, Ray has been and is currently engaged in the capacity of supervising instructor training programs in his area . Those of you who've attended the last several years examiners clinics and other I.S. I.A. functions are probably well acquainted with Ray. All of you, however, will be interested to note that Ray is 33 years old , has three children and is expecting a fourth. He and his family reside in Provo where Ray is employed by the Brigham Young University as Director of Admissions. Congratulations to Rayon his appointment. Carl Moeller Undergoes Open Heart Surgery You would think tha t open-heart surgery would keep a guy down awhile and off the slopes. Well, not Carl Moeller, veteran ski teacher from Idaho Falls. Carl had a valve replaced in his heart early this fall and has compl e t ely recouperated. According to his daughter, Lynda Hassinger, (Park City ski teacher) Carl will be back on skiis very shortly. Phil Jones, Clark Parkinson and Ed Pond took charge of a blood donation drive for Carl - he needed 12 pint s . Members of the Park City and Alta Ski Schools went bravely up to the L.D .S . Hospital to donate blood for Carl. Rumour has it that one donor , who will remain nameless, almost bought the farm right there in the hospital. A little smelling salts revived our brave comrade , however. Carl would like to thank Ken Perkins, Fred Finlinson, Max Lundberg and the other members of the Association who donated blood. Hurry up Carl and ge t better and come down and ski with us. Tom Low Will Direct Ski School at Powder Mountain Tom Low, longtime member of I .S.I.A. has been appointed Director of the ski school a t the new Powder Mountain Ski Resort . Tom has been a ski teacher since 1964 and a familiar face in the Wasatch Front resorts since 1965 when he was certified. He directed the Cache County Ski School and Utah State University Ski School for a year while working on his masters degree in physi cal education there. After receiving his masters degree, he came to Weber State where he directed the ski program and was assistant ski coach . While there he also taught in the Earl Miller Ski School at Snow Basin. For the past two years he has instructed at Beaver Mountain and coached the racing program there. He has conducted and reported research on the graduated ski length method of instruction and skiing for mentally retarded. He has taught school at every grade level and coached gymnastics at the university level . He was also physical education director a t the Ogden Weber Education Center . Tom said the Powder Mountain Ski School will feature a variety of programs such as l adies day, graduated ski length method of instruc tion, evening ski classes, cross country classes, alpine racing, special classes in powder skiing and trick skiing; also physical education classes in skiing that support the lifetime sports concept. Ski School Classes By Video Tape By Mary Morley Beginning with the opening of the Jackson Hole Ski Area on Dec. 9 , 1972, Pepi Steigler ' s Ski School will int roduce an experimental method of aiding in the teaching of classes . Video tape equipment has been installed i n a tower on the Moran run of the Apres Vous (intermedia t e) mountain at Jackson Hole . The temperature inside the tower will remain constant room temperature . The instr uctors will direct each pupil with the use of an int ercom system through a starti ng gate, pas t the video tape machines which will be recording the pupils technique . At the end of the runs, pupils and instructors will watch instant replays of the skiing , t hus any mistakes which are made may be observed by the pupil and corrected or commented on by the instructor . Bill Helmbold of Jackson, Wyo . will be operating the equipment for Pepi . Pepi feels strongly that this method of teaching will aid t he pupils and hopefully speed up their progress in learning to ski. • MILLER SOFT SKIES • PRO SKI POLES • NEW " 500" COMPETITION BINDINGS • AND NOW CUSTOM MANUFACTURED PATROL AND SKI SCHOOL PARKAS.

Nordic and Alpine Ski Teams will be established at the Park City Resort. The center will he lo cated near the angle station , at the gondola mid-way area . Existing boarding and bunkhouse buildings will be re modeled. When completed the new facility will a ccomodate approximately 100 r.acers and coaches. Jumping hills of 25, 45 and 60 meters are to be constructed and s lalom slopes and cross country trail s will be constructed. The Greater Park City Co. will stand the cost of construction - $100,000 or more - and the U.S.S ,A. will maintain the facility after it opens in the fall of 1973. The site was selected because of its ideal snow conditions and its proximity to Salt Lake City . This will be the first permanent training facility for the U. S. Team and will be an obvious benefit to the team as well as sheding the spotlight on Park City and Utah skiing. The Greater Park City Co. made the pro posal to the U.S , S.A. and should be complimented on their forward looking approach to resort management. ETHICS Did anyone attending t he Targhee Clinic sleep Saturday night? Well, if you did , you were the only one! This type of comment was typical Sunday morning after a rowdy bunch of I.S.I . A. members and nonmembers caused a considerable ruckus, which resulted in some property damage. The B.O.D. members, as well as most members trying to sleep, took a dim view of this type of activity . The B.O.D. unanimously agreed to take firm action in the future and will regard such activities as ethics violations and will report to the Ski School Directors the individuals involved for dis ciplinary action. Further problems with a member will result in the B.O.D. taking the individual's membership.
