Box 368 Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Mr. Muth: November 25, 1970 As Credentials Committee Chairman of the Intermountain Ski Instructors Association, I would like to solicit your help in solving a problem which has developed in our Division. Namely that of foreign ski teachers who are recognized as Certified in their home countries but not in the U.S.A., who, quite naturally, feel that they have passed all of the qualifications to be transferred into our Division without being re-examined. Since our Association has no precedent to go by, I thought perhaps your Division might already have met and solved this problem and could pass your procedure for handling it on to us. I have enclosed a short questionnaire and a stamped, self-addressed envelope. If you would please take a few minutes to fill out the attached form and return it as soon as possible it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your cooperation. With best regards and wishing you a good season, I am, cc: Mr. Clark T. Parkinson, President I.S.I.A. 2245 Oneida Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84109 Very truly yours, E.

Zurbuchen who is transferring from C.S.I.A. to I.S.I.A. The simplified procedure to effect a transfer is to supply information advising the instructor's status and whether or not he is a member in good standing. We do not request files on members transferring to C.S.I.A. and would find it very impractical to transfer a member's original files. We hope you have the necessary information to complete this transfer and would appreciate hearing from you if you need anything additional. Best regards.

Parkinson President, Intermountain Ski Instructors Association Room 1120 136 East South Temple Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 Dear Clark I will not be able to attend the ISlA board meeting on December 5, 1970. A conflict of which I could not settle came up. Please express my regrets to the other board members. When I accepted this job, I planned to be able to make arrangements to attend every board meeting, but it just didn't work out this time. On last year's fall seminar, Mary Ellen has all the receipts and all the bills. To save time and for you to receive it before the Board of Directors Meeting, I will ask her to send this information to you direct. My observations of the seminar were that we should have better control of K. Smith, the presentations of awards was too lengthy and repetitious, and the panels and speakers did an outstanding job. My recommendations for next year's fall seminar would be to hold it on September 18 and 19, 1971 at the Ponderosa Inn with the same format: Early bird drawings Coffee and rolls Lunch, social hour, and banquet Golf tournament and water skiing For the entertainment, I think a musical type, rather than a speaker, would be better this time, and I would like to see another gift or a memento of the occasion presented to each person attending the banquet in the evening. Associated with Cassia County Abstract Co., Ltd. Mr. Clark T. Parkinson Page 2 November 27, 1970 I recommend the $10.00 fee again. For Saturday's program, I would suggest along the following lines: Equipment displays by manufacturers in the lobby. Equipment maintenance panel with Max Lunberg and Jack Colven on flat fil ing, scraping kofix, repairing the bottom of skis, sharpening edges, shortening and lengthening ski poles, etc. Private lessons with Paul Ramlow expressing instructors point of view and Sigi Engl expressing the ski school's directors side. The racer, the racing coaches and the instructor with Bob Autry, Jim Rockford of ISA, and Jim Savaria. ISA - Earl Walters, Margo McDonald, Marv Milville. Movies and slides of 1971 spring clinic - AI Ellis. Panel an new ski_s and why they perform the way they do and on R I Span - Kneissel, Earl Mi Iler - Miller Bob Burns K2, Edward Scott - Scott Poles.

Hope­fully, three to foursrnall area clinics can be held by the Clinic Committee. Four to five more Newsletters will be printed on a regular basis, and an I.S.I.A. party sometime in midseason will be held. I would like to implement a Ski Instructor and Ski School Director of the Year award and print and distribute a promotional poster advertising I.S.I.A. I would like to hold a Spring Clinic, wherein, we study the techniques and methods of the other Divisions by inviting selected guests from the Divisions. In conjunction with this, Max Lundberg can enlighten us with the use of our Demonstration Team on the National and International ski techniques and methods. I will attempt through our Publicity Committee to get the I.S.I.A., its members, and functions and purposes before the publiC by inviting members of the news media to our functions and providing information on I.S.I.A. to them on a regular and continuing basis. I will attempt to establish study groups on I.S.I.A. reorganization, a registered apprentice program, certification back-up program, market- . ing research, and an I.S.I.A. promotional movie. For the time being, the next six months will determine if my leadership and effort is effective enough to get I.S.I.A. moving.

I will attempt to establish study groups on I.S.I.A. reorganization, a registered apprentice program, certification back-up program, market­ing research, and an I.S.I.A. promotional movie. For the time being, the next six months will determine if my leadership and effort is effective enough to get I.S.I.A. moving.

INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION December 5, 1970 TO: I.S.I.A. Board of Directors FROM: Edwin J. Pond, Secretary SUBJECT: I.S.I.A. mailing system report Dear Board Member: As you may be aware, from time to time, we have members of our association complain that they are not receiving the regular mailings of the association. Hence, as Secretary of the Association, I have undertaken to determine what can be done with regard to this and other related problems. First of all, all of our mailings go out third class and are thus not subject to being forwarded unless the party who has moved has guaranteed postage. I believe the economics justify a third class mailing considering how numerous our mailings are. Further, on each mailing we type the words "Address Correction Requested" which induces the post office to provide us with a new mailing address at a cost to us of 10<t per correction. Hence, in this fashion we often obtain a new address for a moving member who has failed to notify us. Each Dumac and sent out. change his per plate. member of the association has a name plate made for him at it is from these plates that our roster or mailings are Hopefully, when a member moves he'll notify us and we'll plate. The cost of a name plate change at Dumac is 10<t To help keep us up to date with address changes, we have just printed up what we will call a problem card. This card is postage card size and will have the I.S.I.A. address on one side with a place for the postage stamp. On the reverse side, there will be a place for the individuals name and beneath that several boxes he can check indicating his not receiving mailings, not receiving an expiration sticker, needs an I.D. card, or "other". It is our view that we will pass these cards out to Ski School Directors and Officers and others desiring them. Upon receiving a complaint, said Officer, Ski School Director or Board Member may pass out a card to said com­plaining member. From there on the member will be able to communi­cate his problem by a simple mailing to the Executive Secretary. You'll be provided with these cards and your cooperation in using them is requested.

I've done a lot of work in this organization for many years as have so many other people, but never did I allow myself to hope and aspire to the fact that I would one day be your chief executive officer. I will accept the presidency on the basis that you are willing to commit yourselves to work as a team. More and more of our membership must be asked and given "the opportunity and responsibility to serve our profession. ' .. I am very enthusiastic about the future. It is an exciting challenge. I must confess there isa difference .. when you are the president of an organization (something about the adrenalin glands).' I.i.am not going to be satisfied to do just the simple or ordinary;;,.: L .... ~: 5l;: things. I want us to search our minds and use our ingenuity. The opportunities are limitless and much can be accomplished if we use our time, resources and talents as wisely as possible without it being a burden on any of us. Certain things should take priorities, but this letter is being'sent to respond to your action in electing me President. I would like a response from each of you indicating: 1. Whether the "Report to the Membership" met with your approval. How have others reacted to it? 2. Using Jerry Huth's Rocky Hountain PSIA review, what subjects and areas do you think we should address ourselves to? 3. What are you willing to work on? • Board of Directors -2- December 11, 1970 I have done the following things after being given a review of the last board meeting: 1. 2. On last Monday, December 7th, I prevailed upon Bill Lash and Louis Tannenbaum, accountant in Salt Lake City, agreed and began to make an accounting for July 1st to October 1st. It should be completed in two weeks • I have asked the office to mail the "Report to the Member­ship" regardless of whether or not payment of dues for this year have been paid. It should be obvious that the report will have its greatest effect if'received as soon::­as possible and may well help overcome any misgivings about the present pos ture of PSIA~ ~ :': ~>~:.. ' . .' • ! 3. I have arranged for a press release essentially to explain that Willy announced to the Board that his duties as Head Coach of the USSA Ski Team precluded his continuing as president so that there can be no unfavorable speculation as to his decision. 4. I have spoken to Alex Katz (Chicago) and Ed Hunter (Denver) regarding a press and public relations program. . .. Please show me that you are willing to be a director not only in name but in deeds. The office is doing a tremendous job under great handicaps in handling our more than routine business (and more). You and I must give continuing and steady service if we are truly to turn the tide and reach reasonable goals for this season. I will appreciate your prompt reply.

INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION 2245 Oneida Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84109 Decemb~15, 1970 TO: Ski School Directors FROM: Clark T. Parkinson, President SUBJECT: Ski School Director of the Year Award - Clinic Program Dear Director: In an effort to promote certification, recognize outstanding achievement in the area of certification by a ski school director and promote competition among the various ski schools in registering and certifying ski teachers, a "Ski School Director of the Year Award" has been established by the BOD. This award will be presented at the Fall Seminar and will be based on the number of ski school members who are not certified who register, as a percentage of the total non-member teachers in the particular school. Also the number of candi­dates taking a certification exam and passing for full or associate as a percen­tage of the total number of candidates from your school taking exams. The purpose is then to encourage directors to register their non member teachers and prepare them for certification. This will result in new members who will be better qualified to teach skiing and will of course expand the membership of ISlA. To implement this Awards Program, please complete the attached form which will be used at the end of the season to determine the results. The self-addressed, stamp­ed envelope enclosed should be used to return your questionnaire. Also enclosed is a supply of "change of address" cards. Please put these on your ski school builetin board or make them available to the members of your school. We are hoping to have at least 15 certification exams with about 120 candidates this season. Your cooperation and support of the certification program is needed to accomplish this. This year's certification policy, registration and applica­tions for certification will be mailed to your certification area representative on December 11. The BOD also approved "Free" small area clinics to be conducted by the Clinic Com­mittee Chairman. The clinics can be anything you want them to be - certification oriented, skiing, teaching methods and will be conducted by individuals you prefer­people who are constantly examining, demonstration team members, etc. In order to have a clinic, just fill in the bottom portion of the questionnaire. Have you ever asked yourself what the Association does for your ski school? Well, it could hold a free clinic in your area. In order to implement our programs this year, we need the cooperation and support of the Ski School Directors. PLEASE! Register your teachers, prepare them for certification, use the Clinic Committee, have exams and help us keep track of your people. The officers of ISlA are more than willing to work for you, but it must be reciprocal to be effective. 1. S. 1. A.

CERTIFIED SKI TEACHER I. S. I. A. INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION 2245 Oneida Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84109 Decemb~15, 1970 TO: Ski School Directors FROM: Clark T. Parkinson, President SUBJECT: Ski School Director of the Year Award - Clinic Program Dear Director: In an effort to promote certification, recognize outstanding achievement in the area of certification by a ski school director and promote competition among the various ski schools in registering and certifying ski teachers, a "Ski School Director of the Year Award" has been established by the BOD. This award will be presented at the Fall Seminar and will be based on the number of ski school members who are not certified who register, as a percentage of the total non-member teachers in the particular school. Also the number of candi­dates taking a certification exam and passing for full or associate as a percen­tage of the total number of candidates from your school taking exams. The purpose is then to encourage directors to register their non member teachers and prepare them for certification. This will result in new members who will be better qualified to teach skiing and will of course expand the membership of ISlA. To implement this Awards Program, please complete the attached form which will be used at the end of the season to determine the results. The self-addressed, stamp­ed envelope enclosed should be used to return your questionnaire. Also enclosed is a supply of "change of address" cards. Please put these on your ski school builetin board or make them available to the members of your school. We are hoping to have at least 15 certification exams with about 120 candidates this season. Your cooperation and support of the certification program is needed to accomplish this. This year's certification policy, registration and applica­tions for certification will be mailed to your certification area representative on December 11. The BOD also approved "Free" small area clinics to be conducted by the Clinic Com­mittee Chairman. The clinics can be anything you want them to be - certification oriented, skiing, teaching methods and will be conducted by individuals you prefer­people who are constantly examining, demonstration team members, etc. In order to have a clinic, just fill in the bottom portion of the questionnaire. Have you ever asked yourself what the Association does for your ski school? Well, it could hold a free clinic in your area. In order to implement our programs this year, we need the cooperation and support of the Ski School Directors. PLEASE! Register your teachers, prepare them for certification, use the Clinic Committee, have exams and help us keep track of your people. The officers of ISlA are more than willing to work for you, but it must be reciprocal to be effective. ------- I. S. I. A.

INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION Ski School Directors Committee Meeting Minutes Ponderosa Inn - Burley, Idaho September 20, 1970 Junior Bounous, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 8:45 A.M. A motion was made by Lex Kunau, seconded by Dan Roberts, that former minutes be approved as mailed to membership. All were in favor except K. Smith. Motion was passed. The progress made at the last meetings were discussed. Phil Jones mentioned that the Certification Committee would have a clinic and work with the Ski School Directors, and that Junior Bounous would probably be on the Certification Committee as liason member for the S.S.D. K. Smith wanted a discussion on Certification as Sigi Engl talked about it the day before with 3 years training and the exam being a mere formality. K. Smith wanted to talk about his let­ter and Andy Shearer's letter of last year. K. Smith recommended that the S. S. D. be an operating body. The last minutes and old business and unfinished business was completed, and Junior opened the meeting for New Business. Junior discussed the United Airlines film that he figures by-passed Utah skiing. He feels that United is not supporting Intermountain skiing the way they should. Bob Autry said it is not very difficult to put a good film and pronlotion together. He talked about a project he had just completed back east on pushing Park City West and Utah. K. Smith wanted to know about Bob Autry's culinary water, which Bob tried to explain to K. Max Lundberg explained what Bob Autry tried to say about promoting skiing and ski lessons in Utah. Max said he is going to propose to ISlA BOD that ISlA do a promotional film on many areas in ISlA so that when asked for material for television or personal appearance or promotional material for local or national coverage we will have something. Lou Lorenz moved that a committee be appointed to get more information and costs on a promo­tional project. No second. K. Smith moved that Autry-Bounous-Lorenz make a study of Bob Autry's talk in time for action to be taken by December 1, 1970, in regard to the film. Seconded by Gene Palmer. All in favor. Frank Gillette wanted to know how outlying areas would be able to participate equally in this promotion. Bob Autry wanted some action from S.S.D. on Ski Masters Program. K. Smith told about the Ski Proficiency Test in the Northwest. Bob Parker explained the Masters Program at NASIC. Bob Autry wanted to know about the ISlA Demonstration Team. Georg Hartlmaier wanted a rate schedule sent to Junior Bounous from each ski school. Bob Autry wanted a rate schedule sent to Junior Bounous from each ski school. K. Smith wanted the S.S.D. to recommend to the ISlA BOD that the S.S.D. Chairman be Junior Bounous. Seconded by Lou Lorenz. Passed. The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 a.m. DecedJeA 17, 1970. ;1/1t. /Ji..ll LaM. - f.O. Box 762 9ftl t? Salt We CUJ;, Utah. '80201 - /J ~~/,-X_ I\'e:"~ ~ __ If , ~' "' ( .' "" \ , i 1, i! I i ,:. j' !

My point was two fold. First, that short swing, done as you prefer it done, is becoming a thing of the past. Because classic, American short swing is best done on a steep, flat slope, we seldom do it anymore; and this is simply because almost all steep slopes are covered with moguls. And further, classic short swing is not an effective way of skiing moguled slopes. Therefore, to insist that a candidate do classic short swing when he seldom skis it and hardly ever teachs it, is not only unfair but something close to ridiculous. MV second point is that I feel that you are advancing an authoritarian program under a liberal flag. While you were ad\l(]catinQ thnt. a cunlJir.JEltu may present any sequence, as long as it is logical and continuous, I could hear a steady, persi stant voice saying, lIyou I-lad bet Ler not de­viate too far from what I have proven at Park City to be correct." Park City is only one area, and I think that you need to travel (under ISlA financing) to places where you are not the authority. You need to go to Brian Head, Sun Valley, Beaver Mountain, Sundance, Alta, and so on, and there you will find out that the sequence aoproved for Park City is not used everywhere. My basic sequence is quite unlike that advocated at your area, and mine works. I have proven it in four years of full time teaching and five years of part time teaching. But do you know what, I would be hesistant to send candidates to your exams skiing and teaching as they dO--You would shoot them out of their saddles. Marv Casey is the only person I know of who actually taught and skied as he actually daBS-- and hH ron into trouble IJJi th his examj nation board on those \lory point.s.

Quickly done in fifteen minutes ~. Written examination on technique and on material previously included in written report II. Teaching Session A. Candidate may teach anything he would like B. Other candidates may free ski III. Demonstrations--Free Skiing A. Candidates asked to ski whatever demonstrations they would like 8S the group moves from the top to the bottom. As the terrain changes, candidate will be expected to alter his maneuvers to fi t the t 8 rrai n • 8. Candidates will be asked to free ski as much as time allows IV. Lunch V. Demonstrations--Free Skiing A. Repeat of III 8. Candidates may be asked to "free" ski certain types of snow or certain types of turns VI. Teaching Session A. Candidate may be asked to teach anything the examiners would like B. Other candiates may free ski or warm themselves, etc. vII. Oral lxamination A. For those whom the examiners wish to speak ~. Also for those who request an oral examination VIII. Critique--my suggestions for this section are omitted since they se8m to be in disfavor with almost everyone except the candidates with whom I am working. Written Report--this should be done away with and a written exam be administered to test the candidate on the information which was previously copied into the paper by his girl friend.

It was felt by most of the members of the Board that your conduct was disruptive and embarrassing to the members who were attempting to conduct the banquet and the members who were participating in the awards ceremonies. This feeling was reflected by other members of the Association who are not Board members. The Board of Directors felt that a letter of constructive criticism to you from me would be sufficient to let you know that some members in attendance felt that your conduct did not add to the evening. eTP: 1d cc: I.S.I.A.

I can appreciate your feelings, at thib point, and would like to wish you success in your tenure as President. One of your major cons1derations, I am sure, is the matter of I.S.I.A. ratification of P.S.I.A. Bylaws. To bring you up to date, briefly, we entertained Hank Emery at our Examiners Clinic, and he graciously answered many questions from our noard of Directors. We will by the Spring of 1971 make a decibion on ratification. We have designated Lou Lorenz to fill the Board position that the P.S.I.A. Board allowed us to fill at the Vail meeting. If we have an Interski delegate, I would like to appoint Ha~: Lundberg, who is on the Demonstration Team, as our delegate. If we do not have a delegate, there would then be no problem.

Max asked me to help out as there was not a permanent appointee due to the s~ort notice given by Ray. The appointment was to be a temporary one and it is my intention at this time to resign the posi­tion of Secretary so that the new President can appoint a permanent individual. I've always enjoyed working for the association and appreciate the opportunity of serving for one year in this capacity. I wi 11 look forward to serving as a committee chairman or in any other capacity as needed.

She has put in many hours and has done us all favors without any regard to her own time or compensation. Her 2- affiliation with DuMac is extremely beneficial. I wold like to recommend to the board that in the future anyone who becomes executive secretary should be very familiar with our members if possible and know how the association functions. There are so many small problems that she contends with that only a skier or someone familiar with us could handle. The office of Secretary has been very well set up, and with most of the work being done by the executive secretary, does not re­quire much time anymore. The new secretary shouldn't have any problem assumming his duties. Respectfully submitted, Dave Parkinson, Secretary Intermounta in Ski Instructors Assoc. By ••••• Dr. Charles D. Greenidge University of Colorado WHA T is haP1ning to the ski industry as we move into thel9l~, s? Many people are asking this question for a variety of reasons. ~~ther you are a large conglomerate or a sporting goods store, the ski indusfy appears to be very active and a new potential for investment. Some old:~timers in the industry are not quite sure if what is happening makes them happy, but others who have been in the industry for many years are finally realizing what they have predicted or at least hoped for, for many yea~s. To answer the question, "what is happening to the ski industry?, " it is necessary to look at all facets. To analyze the changes a look will be taken at the skier or consumer, retail outlets, wholesaling, manufacturing and last, but very important, the ski area. The consumer in the past few years has started to become very aware of pro­ducts and is acquiring a considerable amount of product opinion. This trend will continue; the consumer in the 70's will become extremely product conscious and the general level of ability of the average skier will increase. Fashion will dominate the consumers buying decisions. The demand for the latest in fashin will be most predominate at the specialty shops in the hard goods, skis,"oots, etc.. Clothing will be the most domin~te fashion article in the middle 'to low end equipment outlets. This difference ~n emphasis on fashion will be dictated by economics. With the amount of dtscretionary income in the economy increasing, there will develop several distinct ski markets. These will need to be approached in totally different- ways, hence the arrival of new types of retail outlets. The retail ski shop will feel the effects of the tremendous increase in the number of consumers. The most significant development in shops at this time appears to be the expansion of vertical marketing efforts. Major department stores such as Sears and Penny's have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge in the last half of the 60' s. In the 70' s they will stabilize their market position and more clearly define their consumer. Franchised small specialty shops will start to appear in great number throughout the country. Also it appears that the rental shop boom has just started. More operations such as the one rental chain in the Rock Mountain Area will appear throughout the United States. Indications are that cooperative buying groups will be attempted but will not be too succe ssful for the high end specialty shop. The retailer's entire buying habits will be shifted during the 70's. The changes which will take place in the sources of supply will allow them to carry far less inventory. The 1970's will see the virtual end of the six month business period. Competitive conditions will force retailers to actively pursue an off-season market. The specialty shop will gain a large number of customers, but they will not be as broad-based as they were in the past. Retailers will be selective in choosing what segment of the ski market they will aim at. (OVER) -2- At the wholesale and m ~ition and entrance into the stry by large corporati faster pace than at prese ir succes s will depend upon two very critical factors. One will be the nsion of the indust to the nt where the small factions which have historically existed are broken down. Larger retail operations will cilitate,i this change. ~~condly, they will need to understand the skier'iet.t~r in the 70's than they hav~~m the 60' s. If these two events take place, ,:),~,,: Skl mdustry in the 70's witt have greater potential and growth than expe'~~nced in the 60' s. Companies now in the ski business will go the other directiOJ: particularly at the manufacturing level, and they will be moving into othel .. product areas and broadening their line, both in and out of the ski industry. The most significant result of the entry into the ski industry ~y a variety of firms will be product proliferations. In the early 70's the market will be flooded with consumer goods. An over-supply problem will exist in the industry in general. Production will far outstrip demand. However, because the consumer will become more brand conscious, some suppliers will be unable to meet demand. The result of the over-production will be that many companies that entered the industry in the early 70' s will be out of it in a very short time, and stable companies will experience a very exciting and growing market in the 701 s. Ski area development will be a key to the succes s of skiing in the 701 s. Anyone who has been to an area lately realizes that the demand is rapidly outstripping ~e supply. Skiers in the 70's will go skiing more often during a winter and skli far more years, and the total number skiing,w,ill tremendously increase. Re~~rt area investment will be a prime target for,~arge corporations in the 70's. The success of planned resort developments in 'the 60's has createq tremendous interest. The major problem of area operator s in the near future will be stabilizing their traffic. Many areas are full two days a week and barren for five. For resort areas drawing trade from outside, the increase in vacation time will help; but for operations drawing from local areas, the shortened or staggered work week appears to be their answer. The weakest link in the entire industry going into the 70's is ski instruction. Frankly there does not appear that any great improvement will be made. Ski areas have used schools to sell lift tickets giving tremendous discounts on lessons and hiring anyone to teach who can ski. The large number of good instructors will have to over-come the uncertainty the average skier has about taking a les son. The 70' 15 in the ski industry look very promising. The growth that has been experienced in the 60's will continue into the 70's. The forseen increase in the number of skiers will be dependent upon twofactors: one, the amount of leisure time and discretionary income increa!'le, and two, the busine88 community's excitement and continued investment in the industry.
