United States Forest Service, recommended "That in ski areas where certified instructors are difficult to find, the Forest Service may issue a special permit to a ncu=certified instructor after approval of the NoScAa (National Ski Association Divisional Certification Comudttee)~ These recommendations were adopted at the National Ski Association Convention in Aspen. Colorado~ in May. 1956 0 Intent of the Certification Committee was to help ski schools in small. remote ski areas, provide some type of instructiono It was also desisned to help major ski schools~ or larS8 ski schools. during peak business periodic This policy~ in effect, created an apprentice to an apprentice situationa With the srowth of the sport and increased demands for instructors. ski schools~ area operators. and the Forest Service have misapplied the directive to other than ~goutlyinl areas n • and some major ski schools are relying in very unrealistic proportions on non-certified instructors to complete their permanent staff o This occurs because ski school direc­tors are f.Uins to predeteninethe1r needs for instructors. and faUing to provide an adequate recruiting and training program to meet future needs--not to mention present needse In creatins an apprentice status and a non-certified permit, or registered status. the ISIA has been placed in a difficult and compromised positiono ISIA is therefore, in effect, an enforcement agency without authorityo This situation has created untold problems and mlsunderstangs between the Ski Scheol Director, Certification Committee, Forest Service, and Area Operators, as well as apprehension in the mind of the skiing publico The existence of three classes of certification has created a situation i~ possible to administero Therefore, we have lost the original intent, going back to 1931, which was to protect the skiing public from unethical i unqualified. and incom~ petent ski instructorso Reference is made to the 2nd paragraph of a letter dated March 12. 1963. reference No o 2340, from Edward Po Cliff to Chief Forester USFS. to Bill Lash in his capacity as President of PSIA~ Normally, authorization to operate a ski school on a National Forest land is included in the permit coverina the lifts or area operationo .. Permits· for this seasonts ski schools have already been issued and are apparently functionin8 smoothlYG Revised hand book instructions will be sent to the reaions for the next seasonts guidance, and the permits authorizing the operation of ski schools will contain the following clause~ The Director and Instructor serving in the ski school authorized by this permit must be certified to teach skiing by a recognized ski in­structor oraanization acceptable to the Forest Service except where this requirement is waived or modified by the Forest Service 0 Professional Ski Instructors of America, Inco, is the logical oraanization for certification of ski instructors in the United States, and it will be our policy to look to that oraanization for certification of ski instructors operatina on National Forest landso Waiver of this require.mene should be rare, and would be limited to cases where it would be burdensome or unjustified to require ito In such cases Forest Officers responsible for approving a certification must satis­fy themselves that the certifyina organization is acceptable, or that the in­structor is qualified to teach skHnao n From the above statement of policy the Certification Committee will assume that the responsibility for enforcement or waiver of certification will be between the USFS and the primary permiteeo The comadttee recognizes that there will be instances when nonacertified instructors will be usedo However. these instances should be rare. and will be a matter between the ski school director and the Forest Serviceo The Certification Committee W s responsibility is that of providina a means for certHi­catione Every effort will be directed toward this end with no compromise of establish­ed hiah standardso Operating policy as set down by the PSIA Certification Committee shall be followedo Therefore. this .office will no lonler relister non-certified ski teachers~ The PSIA Certification Committee policy is to coordinate certification examinations in the United States composing the eisht divisions corresponding with the aeoaraphic area of The United States Ski Associationo The current policy of The Professional Ski Instructors of Amedca as recommended to the Division Certification Comadttees is as follows ~ "The Committee shall. 'Upon request at any reasonable date and place. pro­vide for certification examination whenever 8 to 10 candidates have prepaid the exam­ination fee and made appropriate applicationo The comadttee. therefore, is attemptina to meet the demands necessitated by the growth of the sport of skiingo This plan has proven to be convenient to ski school directors and candidates alikeo It is my opinion that this clarifi~ation of policy and responsibility for certifica­tion examination and the subsequent administration will ultimately result in better service to the skiing publico LLilp Respectfully submitted.
