This letter is to notify you of such delinquency. In the event your dues are not paid within sixty (60) days of this notice, I am bound by the by-laws of our association to submit your name to the governing board for termination of membership. I am sure you desire to retain your membership in the association and have merely overlooked the payment of dues. However,ato avoid further action, please remit the sum of $1>.00 within sixty (60) days. Very sincerely, EDWIN J. POND 5ecretary Intermountain Ski Instructors Association TO: BOD ISlA FROM: Dave Parkinson, Secretary RE: Sec. Report As most of you are aware, I assumed the responsibility of Secretary after the resignation of Mr. Ray Van Dongen last fall. Max asked me to help out as there was not a permanent appointee due to the slJort 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 individua 1. I've always enjoyed working for the association and appreciate the opportunity of serving for one yea r i.n this capacity. I will look forward to serving as a commi.ttee chairman or i.n any other capacity as needed. The office of Secretary and Executive Secretary during the year processed the following: Certification Exam Applications Registered Applications Membership Processed New Members Processed Compensation The Association census is: Full Certified Associate Certi fied Retired Honorary Total Members Registered Total 1969-70 72 111 401 $656 1969-70 173 239 7 4 423 159 582 1968-69 114 107 433 40 $768 1968-69 167 213 7 2 389 74 463 I would like to take this opportunity to thank our executive secretary, Mary Ellen. She has put in many hours and has done us all favors without any regard to her own time or compensation. Her 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 prob lem assumming his duties. Respectfully submitted, Dave Parkinson, Secretary Intermountain Ski Instructors Assoc. ~{!?~ /~ t.JS.

FROM: Clark Parkinson, Convention Publicity Chairman SUBJECT: 17th Annual Convention Publicity As part of our convention promotion, we have made arrangements with KUTV, Channel 2, News Department to have four one-and-one-half minute "special feature" spots on the 6: 20 P.M. sports program. The spots will run Monday through Thursday, April 17, 18, 19 and 20. The first three shows will be centered around the convention and how to become a ski teacher, ski school clinics and certification preparation, certification examinations and the fourth will be a re-cap of the first three programs. The primary purpose of these programs is to announce our convention and in general inform the people of the ski teaching profession and what the Association does to insure the people of qualified ski teachers. We felt is important to advise you of these programs so you could tune in if possible.

I/)~ I {J [j"{ , ~r, To ALL NRMSA Instructors: As planned, our Annual Instructor's Clinic was held at Bridger Bowl on November 28th, 29th, and 30. Also at this time e. Ski Instructor's Certification Examination was held. Twelve instructors attended and ten candidates for Standard Certification. All of the instructor's attending felt that the Clinic was well organized, interesting, and will prove to be valuable to them during the course ot this year' 8 instructional programs. Considerable emphasis was placed on the Modern Austrian teaching techniques. Karl Hinderman and Bob Beck conducted clinics pertaining to this technique as it applies to instruction and racing. The presentations were made as they, the school directors make them. All controversial discussionS" were left for the evening meetings. Gu~ Gnebm gave an excellent resume' of the Arlberg technique, in which he was assisted by Dave Hamilton and Jim Thornhill. Of the ten cendidates for certification, all chose the Arlbera, or Modified Arlberg techniques for their presentation. Tbo€e receiving Standard Classification at this clinic were George M:>ntrose, Bozeman; "Cod" Carrier, Dutte; and Hal Erickson, Helena. Many of the others came wi thin one or tvo tractional points of achieving certification. The candidate was asked to outline a teaching procedure. Free skiing is also graded. Nationally, more emphasis is being placed on this aspect of certification than has been in the past. Also, the candidates were given a vritten test governing knowledge of' ski association organization; and knowledge of skiing terminology and techniques. Generally, the grades in this were passing. There has been some criticism of our pre-certification policies. These, as you can well imagine will need some time to be workod. over to thn point 'Where they can be mutual.ly acceptable to the candidat~ for certification. We at the present time, can notify the prospective candidate at least one month in advance ot the certification time and place. We can only emphasize as complete a knowledge as possible to the candidate on skiing techniques, equl~ment, teaching techniques, teaching presentation, cless organization; and a degree of ski1ng proficiency of their own. We cannot outline '1 strict set of critct'ia f(~t' certification because of the individual variations insk11ng syles and teaching approaches. You can realize the difficulties inherent in trying to create a number of teaching conformists. We can however set standards, which everyone, even the candidate, feels should be high. A thorough study of Bill Lash's Manual, Ski Teaching Methods should_give every prospective candidate all the necessary backgroun~successtully pass~ test) exclusive of skiing ability. ();Ipies of this manual can he obtained by writing to me and enclosing a check for $3.20 to cover manual, 8lld mailing expenses. Upon reading and studying the manual you will notice the amount of latitude that is given to the individual skier's and instructor's preferences and techniques. All secretaries of NRMSA ski clubs are receiving a copy ot this bulletin. It 11 ho:ped that the above information can bepa.ssed Along to -the prospective certification candidates. The next. Instructor Examina.tion will be held in Missot;l& ()n the week end ot J811., 31st. We would like to bsve all candidates register with the Secretary aij least ten days prior to this examin£;~ion so that pe.yments eM he l!IG.de, First. Aid quali- 11/ c' fications can be me"c, and addi -I;ion61 informa.t·ion sent to them (1.S toT nature Oli the testa, time, _and location or teate, and any other Informntion vhlch they deatre. •• ,. , Tbe active instructor's mailing list will be c~mpiled the first part of February. In order to be included on this list the in8tructor should send in his $5.00 (five dollars) yearly dues, and send in his current advanced first aid card, or letter indicating that he is enrolled in an advanced First Aid class. TO date, about half of the membership have paid their dues, and met the First Aid requirements. Very briefly I will hit on some ot the activities of the business meeting of the NRMSIA held in Bozeman on the 29th of November. Tbe motion ve.s pe.ssed that Lash's Ski Teaching Meth6ds be adopted &8 official NRMSIA manual; that the NRMSIA constitution as presented by Dave Hamilton be adopted; that $25.00 be sent to the N.S.A~I. Also that a8 of November 28th, 1958 no more amateur ratings be issued, and that as of Fa.l.l certification examination in 1959 the M1ateur rating be discontinued. $30.00 from club treasur7 vill be ellocated toward sending a represen ·~.ative to the Na.tional Ski Instructor's Clinic at Arapahoe Basin in May. Instructor's now must ~ttend a clinic at least once every two years to keep certificate valid; ex~u8e for misRing second clinic will be acted upon by Board of Directors. The :no~'r'd of Directors 'Was elected by unanimous ballot ••• these are Karl Hindermanj Eob BeCk; Chuck Hibbard; Gus Gnehmj and Dave Hamilton. At a subsequent meeting the Board of Directors approved the present slate of officers for the forthcoming year. Thece are Chul.'k lUbb:-.t"rl, Fl'orddent; DAve Hamilton, Vi~e President and LeRoy Aserlind Secretary-Tre&8Urer. We would like to again express our ~ppreciation to Pat ~8 for her help in getting these bulle-' .. .lns tJ.lt. Should there be any additional information you wish, in these bulletins, pl.e&a8 let me know. Remember your dues and First Aid requirements. LA/pd Sincerely LeRoy Aserlind Secretary-Treasurer NRMSIA . \ •• FAR WEST SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION T 0 We had a very Ruccessful board meeting at Mnmrntoh yesterday" Bill.

Lester Harrison, Inc. is an advertising agency that handle the Hart Ski account. Hr. .t....esser want ed to know whether this office would be willing to mail out 400 or more copies of an ad that Hart tlkHs is preparinc; to run in several nat ional publications. 'l'he advertisement will carry a message that will advise the reader to go to a certified ski instructor to learn to sKi properly. Mr. Lej,,:,',',"i,',',.r,,' would like proofs of these ads to be in the,'ii:',han/is of all the certifi :ski instructors in the country so that the ijlrll;ctors will be awar"':I~:t' the support that Hart ~kiis is giving th1(,' This is 'anatural follow-up for any advertiser to makei,t hen trying to promote a client's product. It appears that last year allimilar advertisement was mailed to all certified ski instructors. Bekause of this past cooperation with the NSA, Mr. Leeeer would like to do this again. Ny problem is that I do not have a mailing list for the ski instructors. Do you have this list? How many are listed? Mr. Lesser will be willing to pay the mailing cost so this would eliminate Inuch of a problem for you if you are willing to cooperate. I would like to cooperate with Mr. Lesser on the program because he is convinced that several booklets could be printed by the Hart 5ki Manufacturing eompany or one of the other ski accounts that he handles. These booklets would be prepared by this office but would be underwritten completely by one of his clients. This would give us an opportunity to begin serving the many skiers in the country and advertising the NSA. Would you plea.se let me know as soon as possible what you ca.n do to help. n~ ecutive ~ecretarl WT:ch CONTRIBUTIONS ARE DEDUCTIBLE FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES ,.

Let me know your new address--or are you on the streets?????????????? All iSiery quiet here in Maine, It is a very pretty spot to spend· the summer but I lead almost a monastio ,existence and 1 get my 'batteries' fully charged up for winter. 1 am keeping an eye on things around here(I came Ea~t early for this) as my brother and his family are spending a month in Europe. He is the same heighth as I am but about 25 pounds heavier---about like you----. Best to Toni and let me know where I can write you and phone you. Up them all, Dear Bill - ,. Big Bear Lake "(\ June 7 '-" Just arrived here still enroute home ••.. it's been a long journey .•• didn't wuite make my 100 miles out of SL that sunday nite - but at least got out of your hair •••.• had a snowstorm just outside Ely, hit one of those d~ gighway markers that Nev. puts right o~ the hwy shoulder so now have some futurisitic american-tJ~e "styling" on the front of the VW ••..• arriveti at Ownes R. at 6:30 PM, thot I~d wet a line just for kicks - got one •••• thot I'd hit a snag and while trying to figure out how to move to unsnag the snagg moved - turned into a 20" german brown •••. got another a little smaller before r began to wonder who was going to eat em and quit ••• next morn mammoth ••... still plenty of snow, colder but otherwise about same conditions as fllta, had 1200 skiers last sat ••••.. mammoth inn work just getting into stride - big project ••••• had talk with dave mccoy - said he intends to continue teaching inside stem stem-christie with rotation (NO shortswing) and wants unification of teknik on that basis ~Without uni~ication, certification means nothing." ••..• mammoth is growing fast - and has the defensive agressiveness of early puberty - a little like Russia - or America in its early days ••..• spent the afternoons visiting and fishing (limited out in about an hour)" •.. talked to Jim Hurley (pres. Il1B.Inn1oth inn corp) and looks as if next F'WSIA convention will be there - which will be the most delux yet in nation, r believe) with plenty of 36 HP miles to ruminate r still think the meeting at alta was a basic success and major forward step ••.• r think the early circlings an snifiings will prove an ultimate advantage •••• r consider it good that no ultimatums or walk-outs were necessary to achieve a solid beginning (it has been my experience that often all real drive is burned up in the heat of argument "the game is lost on the practive field, so to speak" ••.• r think this game was won in your well-organized seesions on the slopes ••••• I lookk forward to the day when the FWSIA can have someone put on a real demonstration without having sulking pgties in every cornee ••• and it will come I'm writing an ~VSIA report on the meeting and with Lutz' OK will release it in whatever way he wants ••.. I have given a lot of thought to what we did and didn't do at Alta and what the future may hold for national progress •••• I'll write you more in detail later ••••• at the moment this machine is teetering on my knees in front of the welcome fire and the main prupose of this effort is to thank you and Lila for the wonderful hospitality: nice home, good comanionship, ever-gurgling martini shaker, superb (and not too WD) steaks •••• Bill, it was great •••••. come to jerkville-in-the-smog some day and we'll open up a bottle of salvaged colorado river water"", now it's cocktail time at Big Bear ••. (actually the bears here are no bigger - it's just that this was called Bear Valley & when they made a lake, ~ Bear Lake, and another new lake was also named Bear Lake so this one renamed itself Big Bear Lake and the other one renamed itself Arrowhead Lake}- sq warmest regards, c-:-:-:-:-:-?- D • I ; '1 'rtr !'J: .L &/e.4/. /0 #e St?If'YC'S /;'O» &/ ~~?/~/~ fb~,(Js/o/J 1" Ph'? /v//~"/'; 7b ?t7q' /A-I /cf£-/~s;l r /./J/t!///n ,/p.A..J CJ» de;. s~ /A../~ftk'c-/o/J' ce/'l/Ga~tJ.A/ /es/. .:r )P!V& ~/l'yA/ /4/ ~#7~ ks7 /v/.-u/e,;-; /2/ ffP// k/;f,C}A/-- /?/,j?,/ #s sevsoAJ J p /// "Ic/?u?~Y' /U 5/;?/~ sc-A'cc/ F-'r /){Je. ~ .0J~ ,,0=-/ s..,6 $'.-~!
