The revisions in the Technical Definitions and Finished Form definitions which were announced by Paul Valar at the examiners clinic are reaqy to be issued to the Examiners and Ski School Directors. Bill Lash requested we clear this release with him. Would you plepse clear this with Bill. I asked Wooqy about the ski school directors ~mmittee minute~ and he did not remember only that ~. Bounous was elected chairman. Illl write Sid. I agree that the minutes require better editing which I will do on the next set. lIve been so darned busy I don't know which end is up.

FROM: Lou Lorenz, President 2010 West North Temple Salt Lake City, Utah 84116 January 28, 1966 A serious need for more well trained certified ski teachers is evident throughout the entire intermountain area. At present mid-season, this need is more evident than ever. Most ski schools are actually turning away business for lack of qualified teachers. More teachers must be trained and certified, if as professionals we are to keep up with the growth of the sport. The primary purpose of ISlA is to examine and certify ski instructors. It is the aim of the association to make these exams readily available and convenient to the candidates. The chief examiners job of scheduling exams is at best a monumental task. Members of the association can help the certification committee if they will advertise the fact that examinations can be held at any reasonable time or place. However, the candidates must submit an application and check for the exam fee before an exam can be scheduled. The next time someone asks, IIWhen is the next exam?" Reply by asking, liDo you have your application in to the chief examiner'l" If an individual or less than eight individuals wish to be examined, make your application and specify the general area, the preferred dates, and times when not available. (Example: Place: Any Salt Lake area. Date: Any Sunday during March. Cannot attend weekday exam. To date ISlA has examined 18 candidates at Sun Valley, 8 at Alta, and 10 are scheduled for Solitude. Work through your area certification representative (list enclosed) ski school director or Don Rhinehart to reserve a place and date for examination of candidates that you may be helping to prepare for examination. The Annual ISlA Clinic will be held this year April 22, 23, 24, 1966. Make your plans now, so that you will be able to attend. Better yet, contact Adrien Segil, Clinic Chairman, and ask him what you can do to help make this 16th Annual Convention the most profitable ever. Your clinic chairman is contacting as many members as possible asking for their suggestions for the clinic. He would appreciate your suggestions now, not after the clinic, please. Enclosed is a copy of the U. S. Forest Service Intermountain Directory. A welldone, informative booklet that contains a very good promotional effort for certified professional instruction, and includes pictures of several ISlA members. To associate members and certified members who do not belong to PSIA, enclosed is a copy of Vol. I No. I Pro Magazine. This pUblication is directed to the "pro" who is interested in the profession. Articles in the Pro will be of a technical nature not found in the national ski publications. Non PSIA members should find a subscription to this publication rewarding. ----- -------- ISlA Membership Page 2 January 28, 1966 A list of Officers, Board members, and area certification representatives is enclosed. Please feel free to contact any of these people if you have suggestions or questions pertinent to any phase of the associations' activities.

Enclosed are the Preliminary Changes to the American Ski Technique which were reviewed by Paul Valar at the Fall Examiners Clinic. Please note that these are tentative and that there may well be minor changes prior to revising the book. These changes should be used with discretion since they are not available to everyone. Please excuse the extended delay, however, it was necessary to have Paul Valar review them and to obtain P.S.I.A. approval of their issuance. Very truly yours, df;tui~ Bob Zeigler, Secretary PRELIM INARY CHANGES TO AMERICAN SKI TECHNIQUE The following are the preliminary revised definitions of "The Official American Ski Technique" as announced by Paul Valar, Chairman, Technical Coordinating Committee. NOTE: This information should be disseminated only with the ski school directors or examiners personal clarifications. SKI TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS 1. Turning: A change in direction from a straight line. 2. Initiation of Turns: (a) Stemming (placing one ski at an angle to direction of decent and transferring the weight) . (b) Hopping (complete unweighting and abrupt displacement of the skis) : (c) A forward or backward lean in the traverse. (d) A circular motion of the body (counter rotation or totation)'. (e) Stepping around. 3. 1!..P-unweighting: 'reduction of the skier's weight on the snow. Up-unweighting is used to release edges and displace skis. 4. Upper ski, lower ski: This refers to ski position in the traverse. 5. Natural motion, Total motion: All exercises used in ski teaching should be done with a total and continuous motion. 6. Outside ski: The ski describing the outside arc of a turn. 7. Inside ski: The ski describing the inside arc of a turn. 8. Unweighting: The reduction or elimination of the skier's weight against the snow. 9. l'ypes of Unweighting: (a) Up-motion - a quick extension of the body upward; an extreme lift will cause a hop. (b) Down-motion - a dropping of the body by quickly and simutaneously bending at the knees, ankles and wa ist. (c) Use of terrain. 10. Fall-line: The shortest line down a slope or the line a freely moving body would follow if influenced only by gravity. 11. Heelthrust: Implies the displacement of the skis with the turning point near the front of the skis. 12. Rotary Heelthrust: The result of counter rotation from a high body position by downunweighting. 13. Leverage: Accentuated, temporary forward lean. -t.- 14. Counter Motion: Motion around the vertical axis of the body opposite the direction of the turn. 15. Counter Rotation: A quick turning motion of one part of the body results in a counteraction in another part of the body. 16. Rising Motion: Relatively slow rising I resulting in change of edge position - it is not used for the purpose of unweighting - it in fact increases the weighting of the ski. 17. Angulation (comma): This is the leaning away from the slope with the upper-bcxty in a traverse or toward the outside of a turn. The knees and hips move toward the slope which controls the bite of the edges. 18. Forces used in the change of direction: (a) Deflecting force resistance from the side - snow resistance (friction). (b) Gravitational force (weight) (c) Muscular force: (balance) (d) Turning force: is controlled by forward or backward lean from traverse I movipg one ski at an angle to direction of descent I transferring weight I rotation and· counterrotation I leverage. 19. Short swing (Wedeln): Consecutive parallel christies without traverse I using angulation and pole-plant. When properly executed the shortswing gives good control even on steep slopes. Also a playful execution of consecutive parallel turns without traverse or appreciable angulation. 20. Method: The procedure or way of teaching: the manner used in arriving at the finished technical forms. 21. Snowplow: The stemming of both skis at the same time at equal angles. 22. Stem turn: The stemming and progressive weighting of one ski produCing a turn. 23. Stem Christie: A christie turn initiated by stemming one ski. 24. Parallel christie: A turn executed with both feet together and parallel at all times. 25. Rotation: A motion around the vertical axis of the body in the direction of the turn. 26. Backward Lean: Body position plaCing the center of gravity of the skier behind the heels. 27. Traverse: Descent at an angle to the fall-line. - 28. Edge Control: The control of the angle of the running surface to the skis to the slope either flat or edged. 29. Ski Position: Relative position of one ski to the other; closed, opened, stemmed or advanced. 30. Steering action: To maneuver by: (a) ski position and weight transfer, (b) leverage. -j~ 31. Technique: a) The manner in which technical details are treated or used in accomplishing a desired aim. b) A ski teaching system. 32. Sinking motion: A slow down-motion used as a preparation for an up or ris ing motion. 33. Forward Lean; A body position placing the center of gravity of the skier ahead of the ball of the foot. 34. Weight transfer: Moving the weight toward one ski. 35. Camber: a) side curve in ski design from tip to tail b) bottom DEFINITIONS: THE FINISHED TECHNICAL FORMS Straight Running (Finished Form Definition - FFD): Skis are flat and together, weight is equally distributed I ankles I knees and torso are slightly flexed. The body is perpendicular to the skis at all times. Stra ight Snowglow (FFD): Tails of the skis are displaced at equal angles from the fallline. Tips are together, surface of the skis are at right, lateral angles to lower legs. Snowplow Turn (FFD): From the Stra ight Snowplow, more weight is transferred toward one ski which becomes the outside ski of the turn. Upper body angles over weighted ski as the outside shoulder comes slightly back. Traverse (FFD): Crossing the slope, the up-hill ski, hip and shoulder are slightly advanced. Skis are together, more weight is on the lower ski. The edges are controlled by angulation. Stem Turn (FFD): From the traverse, the up-hill ski is stemmed, eliminating the traverse position. Weight is gradually transferred to the stemmed ski as the upper-body is angled over weighted ski I the outside shoulder moves slightly back. After change of direction, traverse is resumed. Forward Sideslip (FFD): From the traverse, the sideslipping is started with an up-motion. This decreases angulation and releases edges. Christie Up-Hill (FFD): From the traverse the turn is started with forward up-motion and turning of the skis. A sinking motion completes the arc of the turn. The skier rises to a new traverse. Stem Christie (FFD): From the traverse I the up-hill ski is stemmed with an accompanying down motion. With an up-motion the weight is transferred to the stemmed, outside ski. The inside ski is advanced and brought parallel as the skis enter the Christie phase. The body assumes angulation as the outside shoulder is brought gradually back. A sinking motion completes the arc of the turn. The skier rises to a new traverse. Parallel (FFD): From the traverse I the turn is approached with a down motion. With an up-forward motion and counterrotation the wif;light is transferred to the outside ski, the edges are changed and the inside ski is advanced. A sinking motion completes the arc of the turn, the skier rises to a new traverse. -4- Parallel with a Check: A check is used if the slope is steep or the snow resistance is great. The preparation of the turn can be facilitated by a displacement of the taUs downhill resulting in more a'ng,ulation and edging . This is accompanied by a pole plant at the end of the down motion. Short Swing (FFD): Consecutive Parallel Christies without traverse. Control is mainta ined by angulation and edging. In the American Technique I the word "Wedeln" is used interchangeab~ y with the words "Short Swing". The pitch of the slope governs the type of turn used: for steep slopes more angulation and a pole p~ant are needed for control while these movements are not mandatory on gentle slopes.

Due to the circumstances, however, I do not feel that I can accept your offer, as I could not assure you a proper two weeks work. I do not understand this dismissal, therefore, I cannot defend myself. When Mr. We I ters adv I sed me severa I weeks ago "as a f r I end" to fes I gn, but not to Involve him In It In any way, he pointed out that he could not promise what would happen If I did not reSign, but that If I chose to, he would arrange a Board Meeting for that purpose. I did not do so because I felt it would not'be In the best lnterests of the Division to do so at that time with the convention and closing of the season so close. The only thIng I cen say In my behelf Is thet I have worked many long hours for you In an attempt to do the best for the Division because I belfeved so strongly In the Intermounteln Division and In you, Its Board of Directors. I have always tried to cooperete with one and ell to the fullest extent and had hoped only for the seme In return. I would have appreCiated It if those who had criticism against me hed seen fit to corne to me so that the matter could be cleared up or If I was wrong so that I could take steps to Improve. When I was conSidering applying for this Job last year, many who had worked In the DiVision, Including past Board Members, advised me not to give up a good job because they felt that the job of Executive Secretary In this Division Involved many long hours of hard work, with only criticism and eventual firIng as the reward. Thank you gentlemen. Inasmuch as Mrs. HeIne Is the only other person bonded to handle the money and the mall, I have turned over to her the Post Office Box keys and all Items pertaIning to monies. Sincerely, ?7~~7~ Norma J. Keane P.S. In clOSing, I would like to say that I have had the privIlege of meeting and working with many fine people--Skl Club Presidents and Members, and others affiliated with skilng--durlng my year with Intermountain and they have made It ell worthwhile. It Is working with and for these wonderful people that I shall miss, and I wish eech of them my very best for their projects,-their ctubs, and their ;IS~ ~ ~ /~ . ff:i. ~~aJ~A~/ ~- ?a //~~ r ,',,; • f ~' ; \.' ~.

After our conversation, I thought of more things which might help (it was probably just as weel that I thought of them afterwards considering the length of time we talked) and decided that lid better sit right down and write this before I forgot them. The attached is the "official" letter for our files and yours. This is just in the way of a "personal note". Previous to Rudi taking over as Executive Secretary (Oct. 1st, 1965) the salary was $150.00 per month plus, as far as we can determine from the records, the wife or other secretarial help was paid at the rate ot $1.00 per hour from the petty cash fund which is handled completely by the Executive Secretary for office supplies, etc o (some months this extra help appears to have gone as high as $50.00) The increase in salary mentioned"in the Contract, item #10 is sort of confusing but, as shown under "Contract" in the job description, amounts to $2.00 per new member per year. You asked about whether we did the Treasurer job also and since we do, I thought you might be interested in how it is handled. All money received goes into the, what I call, "general fund". Checks written on this account require two of three signatures - President or Vice President and Executive Secretary. The petty cash fund is obtained from the general fund. This is $250.00 out of which comes all routine office supply expense, postage, printing of envelopes and stationery, telephone, and misc. expense such as office equipment repair. (Salary & new office equipment comes direct from the general fund) This petty cash fund is disbursed just by the Executive Secretary (we set up a pay-go checking account locally for this but the previous executive secy. disbursed it in' cash) This has a separate set of financial records. The way I work it is that when the fund gets down to approx. $20.00, I make out a regular financial report and send it to the president, with a check for the amount needed to bring the balance back up to $250.00. At present the members receive about 6-10 mailings a year. (copies of minutes from B.O.D. meetings (at least 4 a year), minutes of Annual meeting, Certification information which includes annual Clinic, job opportunities, and misc. In trying to set up a regular office filing and record system, (individual folders for each member so that exam application or transfer letters, and correspo:ldence from or to that member, and any misc. information are all together) we have spent more hours than will probably be required once it is all organized o With the recent heavy load (By-Law mailing of 18 sheets, Certification and Clinic mailings, as well as the routine stuff) we have put in 180-200 hours between us for each of the past two months. page two Before that, it was about 80 hours per month. Well it getting late and my "mind" seems to be starting to "fog". I think I've covered most of the things I thought of. If you have any questions, be sure to let us know and we'll try to helpo Sincerely, Dottie Schnackenber~ Executive Secretary s secretary - WOCkl!

April 19, 1966 Bob Zeigler, Secretary Ifttermountain Ski Instructors Assn. 432 North 2nd West Logan, Utah 84321 Dear Bob, Thank you for your letter of March 24th granting permission for Tom Jacobson to be excused from ISlA clinic attendance so that he can assist with our RMSIA clinic. Since this is the busy time of year for this office, I must apologize for the delay in answering your several questions regarding the position of Executive Secretary and how it is set up in the EMSIA. 1. The RMSIA has had an Executive Secretary since 1962 (4 years) 2. Prior to the 1966 Certification Exams, we have approx. 450 members. We will add about 100 new members for this year from examination and transfer. 3. The budget for the Executive Secretary (salary) was set for this year at $175.00 per month. (See attached job description for the break down on this) 4. Yes, the Executive Secretary also performs the duties of Treasurer (refer to job description) The above answers your specific questions and I believe that the attached job description and contract will answer many more that you will have. The office equipment owned by EMSIA that I mentioned in our phone conversation tonight is listed on the job description. As more questions arise. which I am sure they will, please feel free to write and I 11 try to answer them for you.

Your clinic committee is in the process of formulating plans and setting up a tentative clinic schedule for the coming season. I have enclosed a small questionnaire that would be very helpful in doing this. I would like to ask, and would appreciate very much, if you would please fill this out and return it to me. Your BOD and clinic committee feel that more clinics should be held, and particularly in the fall. A two-day refresher, held in the fall before your instructors get into the full swing of the season would be of much value. I would appreciate receiving the return postcard questionnaire back even if you do not plan to have a clinic, so that I know you have received it and also for your comments concerning our clinic program.

FROM: LEE SNEDAKER, PUBLICITY CHAIRMAN SUBJECT: "SKI SPECTACULAR" Dear Ski School Directors: On the 28, 29 and 30th of this month a "Ski Spectacular" will be held at the Terrace Ballroom in Salt Lake City. The ski show is co-sponsored by the Newspaper Agency Corporation and the Utah Tourist and Publicity Council and will present new ski lines and equipment for 1966-1967. The ISlA will sponsor a booth during the show to help publicize certified ski instruction throughout the intermountain area. Our booth is located close to the "ski deck" which in itself will create a lot of interest, Utah Tourist and Publicity Council estimates there will be about 15,000 people in attendance during the three-day ski show. We feel that presenting a booth at this show could acquaint skiers with the benefits of certified ski instruction and the areas that they can receive it, Please send me all of the promotion material you have available on your area and the ski school. I also need your rate schedule and days and hours of operation. We are starting a little late so send the material as ~ as possible; this should be a very good opportunity to publicize your ski school. We are buying the space of the booth through sale of tickets. The booth will not cost ISlA any money if we can sell 100 tickets. I will appreciate any help you can give me in the sale of these tickets to your staff or interested skiers in your area. Send your promotional material and ticket requests to: Lee Snedaker, Publicity Chairman, I.S.I.A. 839 Fairmont Circle, #4 Salt Lake City, Utah May I again stress that this is an excellent opportunity to promote your ski school for just a little extra effort.

Certification Committee 22 October 1966 Examiners Clinic - Park City, Utah 19 and 20 November 1966 There will be a two day clinic to inform all pertinent persons with a more uniform scoring system and examination procedure. I feel that this is a must for Directors of Ski Schools as well as Examiners. Every effort will be made to completely familiarize every person present with examination scoring, etc. With this in mind, we are making the attendance fee $15.00 instead of the usual $25,00. This will enable your key personnel to attend. Then return to your own areas to train and inform your Instructors for certification. The $15.00 fee shall help to defray the expenses of full examiners. There will be no restriction on the number of supervisors from each school. I have felt there has been a very necessary need for two assistant Chief Examiners to take responsibility in the geographical areas of the I.S.I.A. I brought this up at the Board of Directors meeting at Idaho Falls and it was accepted. The assistant Chief in the North Eastern sector is Glen Evans from Pocatello and Wilbur Thomas from Salt Lake for the Southern Sector. I shall further explain this at the Clinic. Following is the list of persons not to be charged and to be helped with expenses: Don Rhinehart, Woody Anderson, Junior Bounous, Glen Evans, Phil Jones, Keith Lange, Bill Lash, Lou Lorenz, Harold Oglesbee, Dave Parkinson, Helmut Purrer, Dean Roberts, Wilbur Thomas, John Sorweide, Bob Zeigler, J. Simpson, Gene Huber. Reservations Please contact Woody Anderson for reservations by 10 November. We are making efforts for rates. I am certain that all of you feel a fall examiners clinic will be an invaluable part of the Certification Program and at the same time be beneficial to all of us in ga1n1ng more knowledge to disseminate among our Ski Schools. It is sincerely hoped that all who participate in this Clinic will have an objective and Memo from D. Rhinehart -2- 22 October 1966 realistic attitude toward what has been accomplished in the certifying of ski instructors and realize that we mutually endeavor to keep the qualification of the Ski Instructor at a high standard.

Page 2 - PSIA No doubt you are too familiar with the various articles which state bluntly thR.t "there are better ways" than the American Technique. At times, it seems to me that there must be an organized plot to do away with the American Technique. I'm not going to argue the merits of one technique over another any more than I would say that there will be no new developments in ski teaching. And I don't think the answer, as one ski school director sUGgested, lies in doing away with the editor of one of major ski magazines. Both the problems I have outlined are, I believe, the result of poor communications - or worse, incom~lete and negative communications. If my correspondence with Bill Lash is a criteria, you recognize this. Perhaps I am wrong, but you have a great deal more to ofTer the member thrill a big, shiny badge. You can motivate your member::3hip to be truly "professional" with all thRt connotes. You can, through ;'l0ur Ol'1n professionalism, present the definite advantRges of your technique to the skiing public. You can rise above barbs i'1. the press by being the leader of new developments in skiing. ~lost important, you can tell your members and the public that you are doing these positive, progressive thingG. As matters stand, I cannot say whether PSI:. is in an innuential position of leadership. I ... Jould like to l,now, and the public would li1,(; to ~-<:1l0W, that PSIA is. Eark P.
