Especially liked the way you thanked them for their support of NASle and ski instructors. By the way, the film is yours (ie. the Associations') to keep. Probably be the last time you'll get anything free for awhile. Also, thanks for the offer of hospitality in Park City. I talked to Jerry and PSIA will pick up the tab for all of his expenses including lodging. I am paying my own way so if complimentary lodging is available fine - if not, that's OK too. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again. The last time I was there (3 years agolll) - things were somewhat in a state of change.

I T 0 , .. u.- S. Department of Labor Manpower Administration 450 Golden Gate Avenue Box San Francisco, California Attention: 9 MGE Gentlemen: 36084 94102 January 22, 1972 I am writing in reference to letters sent to you by ski instruc­tors who have attempted to obtain employment at the Heavenly Valley Ski School at So;th Lake ~ahoe. The tenor of the complaint is that European instructors were hired in preference to fully 'certified American instructors. As president of the Far West Ski Instructors Association (FWSIA), I recieved copies of these letters; in this capacity I represent the profession of ski instructing and as Director of ~he Alpine Meadows Ski School, a yearround involvement, I am personally knowledgeable of the pr~blems. Please accept the following as my answer. Foreign instructors are granted temporary work visas upon approval by the Department of Labor. Before such authorization is granted, the employer Ski School must prove to the local, state and federal agencies that the domestic market of qualified people ,is exhausted. Be assured, this market is combed for qualified instructors, for no other reasons than good business and sound economics. It is far simpler to hire domestic per­sonnel. The foreign market may offer a good choice; however, a?plying for visa clearance, arranging for transportation and housing, avoiding language difficulties, add considerably to the administrative and budget burden of the Ski School management. Teaching skiing effectively means winning more people to the sport; in a different view, increasing the business. A su~cessful instructor must offer more than just technical knowledge and skill, he must possess all the qualities of a good Public Relations or Salesman. The instructor certification , '. BET T E R S E R V E THe S K I N G PUB L ./ c page 2 simply proves a person's technical qualifications, personal qualities must make up the balance. In ~he Alpine Countries of ~~rope, Ski Instructing is a career profession and although skiing is seasonal, the tourist business offers a balanced yearround occupation. In the U. S. the ski business can not yet offer the same opportunity and thus the majority of professional instructors teach for a limited :~~. t;;'me only, during college years or between college and "settling . down". Many app::entice instructors are being trained every season. Among the rab~er few who can plan to make it a seasonal career are some who may be certified but are not qualified personally to serve in a fast growing recreational business where the people count first. There may have been a time when a foreign name and accent was a ski instructor's identity. But now, the American Ski Pro has emerged, dominating the ski scene not only with technical knowledge but with a better feeling for the American mentality, an advantage which is b~ing valued. Unfortunately, there are not enough American instructors to fill the many positions. .~ WFS:slc cc: Immigration Department FWSIA PSIA Sincerely yours, Lc?~ Werner F.

I was unaole to 00tain a full time t~aclunb l-l0si tion at a well knOwn Western ski school althouGh fully certified because of prearrange;:.ents by the ski school director to hire four I:uropean instructors to fill half of nis available full time positions.

This has not been an easy decision for me to reach, but I think it is the most realistic course of action with the present claims which I have on my time. I could, of course, have elected to serve out the remainder of my term, but I am sure that contribution would not be as valuable as the con­tribution you could obtain by bringing someone else in to serve the balance of my term, who would then run for re-election. I would like to recommend that the Board of Directors consider Fred Finlayson to fill the balance of my term. I feel that Fred's contribution to the Association and his demonstrated capability warrant this consideration. During the first two years of my term, I don't believe I ever missed an ISlA function or a Board of Directors meeting. I cannot make this kind of committment now and you need some one who can. I am confident this decision is in the best interest of the ISlA and in particular those members who supported my election to the Board of Directors. It is this interest which must be served ahead of personal considerations. Respectfully, A. T. SHEARER JR.

PQnd Adrninistrativ~ Vice-President Inter-tJlountain'''''Ski Instructors Assoc. 7234 Jonathan Circle Salt Lake City, utah 84121 Dear Ed: I've enclosed a copy of the portion of our bylaws dealing with ethics. In reading it over I find it is in need of an overhaul. It covers the customary platitudes usually found in any set of organizational bylaws. I think the reference to the U.S.S.A. code stems from the days when all ski instructor organizations were an integral part of the U.S.S.A. In checking their bylaws I find no reference to any codes whatsoever. We plan to revise our bylaws this year so that they will conform with those of the P.S.I.A. and therefore would appreciate a copy of yours when finished. Sincerely yours, RWC:cr - 10 - Section Three: Hembers whose dues are in arrears after November 1 shall receive a formal notification from the Board, or its appoint~d repre­sentat'ive, that the member is delinquent for non-payment of dues. If such dues are not paid within a period of 30 days following such formal notice, the member shall be suspended and notice of such action shall be made to the Director of his Ski School. A member suspended for non-payment of dues may ~pply for reinstatement upon payment of all dues owed. Section Four: Any annual dues paid to another division will satisfy th~ annual dues requirement for the ASIA, providing the instructor had obtained a transfer to that division from the ASIA Board of Directors. ARTICLE XIII Liability No officer, Board member, or any other member of this organization shall be liable for acts or omissions of any officer, Board member or member, other than himself, whether or not such act was in performance of official duties. ARTICLE XIV Ethics The ASIA hereby os tablishes the fo llowing CODE OF ETHICS which shall be observed by its members: A Professional Ski Instructor (1) subscribes to the principles and purposes of the U. S. Ski Association and his regional association; (2) realizes that his pl'ime ob'ligation is to the skiing public and to the students who pay for his best ski-teaching efforts; (3) seeks constantly to maintain and improve his co,npetence as a teacher of one of the world's finest outdoor sports throulh the prosram of educational advancement and examination offered by his regional association; (4) adopts demonstrable, positive improvements in the art of ski instruction, and discards, after mature reflection and trial, those which do not serve to upgrade skiing and its instruction; (5) always deports himself in a manner which will reflect credit upon his profession and his associates; (6) adopts with enthusiasr" the high standards of the profession and the responsibilities placed upon him by the codes and requirements of the USSA, and is fully a-;.;ral'e that intentional deviation. from these codes of internal discipline. could result in loss of his instructor's credentials and rating and expulsion from membership in the ocganizatj.on.

A 'R ~LCJ Y XU T_ Professional Ski Instructors of America, 1801 York Street, Denver, Colorado 80206 U. S. A. Dear Sirs, December 13, 1971 As the Director of Mont Gabriel Ski School, I have the pleasure of dealing with many American skiers, a great number of whom take an interest in the various ski techniques being taught in North America. Certain of these people have asked how their skiing will be effected when after a week of instruction in the C.S.I.A. technique they return home and take P.S.I.A. instruction at their local areas. Our answer to this question is perhaps the same as your would be if the question were asked in reverse; the final form of both techniques is so similar that it is hard for professionals to tell the difference and our methods of getting there do not contradict one and other basic theories of skiing. Certainly life would be less complicated for both the skiing public and professionals in North America if we all bore the same label but this would not seem too likely a possibility. I am a member in good standing of the C.S.I.A. and hold the C.S.I. rating which as I'm sure you know is our internation­ally accepted rating for a full certification. I would appreciate knowing if as a C.S.I. I can make application to the P.S.I.A. for a P.S.I.A. rating without attending a course . • /2 BUREAU DE SKI, 123 rue des Erables, C.P.

I wonder if I might be placed on a mailing list for course dates and other information which I would pass on to any instructor who may make inquiries in this regard. Looking forward to your reply and wishing you a great skiing season, I remain, SS:tg Yours very truly, ~L / Stan Segal, C.S ... Ski School Director. CERTIFIED SKI TEACHER I. S. I. A. M E M 0 December 15, 1971 TO: Ski School Directors FROM: Dave Parkinson I'm writing this memo as a member of the Board of Directors, past Ski School Director and as an Area Operator. After being on the Board for several years and working under every president we've had but one, I've had an oppor­tunity to watch our organization grow and change. I keep wondering every year why we all put so much time and effort into it without any renumeration and why it has always been run by part-time instructors who do not benefit directly from our efforts. To me this association is in existance for one reason only and that is to qualify and certify instructors for the ski schools. It's been hard for me to understand why the people in the ski teaching business that make their living at it do not support and run our organization. We have always tried to get the directors envolved and there's always the same small handful that contribute every year with the others in the background complaining about exam proceedures, methods, etc. What will happen to our organization and certification if all the part-timers who hold this thing together decide to quit and turn it over to you people? It's a big job and takes many hours of personal time and I feel if the businessman downtown can sacrifice his job by spending this time, you people can certainly take the same amount of time to contribute. You can help by registering all your trainees, send them to our clinics such as we had Sunday the 5th at Park City, contribute constructively to our technical and certifica­tion committees and most of all, attend our functions and help where needed. Please support the I.S.I.A. Thank you.

Pond, Administrative Vice President RE: Office of the President I.S.I.A. All of you have, no doubt, received a copy of President Clark Parkinson's resignation as President of I.S.I.A. in a letter form and dated ~ovember 6, 1971. While all of us would like to have Clark con­tinue on as President, his reasons for resignation are set forth in his ri?Signation letter and a Presidency vacancy now exists. The recently approved By-laws (12-3-71) provide that the Admin­istrative Vice President will act in the Presidential function in the event of a vacancy such as we now have. Further, said By-laws also provide that the BOD will fill such vacancy but leave the time period within which it is to be filled in the descretion of the Board and I think wisely so. I have spoken with many of you concerning filling the vacancy and related matters and thus have some notion as to how some of you feel. In any event, I have concluded that there is no real necessity to call a Board meeting at this t·ime to fill the vacancy. Instead I would propose that since all Vice Presidents as well as needful div­isional positions are filled at this time that all individuals carry out their responsibilities with diligence. If we can assume that this will be done, it is my view that we are at a point in the ski season where the balance of the Association's programs can be carried Ollt in this fashion more effectively than if we attempt to install a new Pres­ident. If any of you have strong feelings about this matter in conflict with the views expressed herein, please contact me. Should it appear necessary, a Board meeting could be called. Otherwise we'll proceed as suggested above and intend to fill the vacancy in the spring along with the election of other officers. EJP/bp very Since~y _/ / 1 /". L/ /' ~.?.A---- tv EDW J.
