Box 321 Aspen, Colorado 81611 April 12, 1971 Dear Fellow Ski Instructor: We'd like to take this opportunity to explain a movement that is underway which 'tJill affect you personally as a certified ski instructor. it/e contend that a certified ski instructor should be allowed to instruct anyone at any ski area on public lands supervised by the U. S. Forest Service. Our contention is being tested in the Federal Courts and is now on appeal to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. On a second front, a certified ski instructor has applied for a Special Use Permit to teach alpine skiing within the existing ski areas. We will take this question to court if the permit is refused. We need not state all the advantages you will gain when this movement succeeds, but among them will be a freedom never before known by American ski instructors, although it is enjoyed by almost all European ski teachers. The instructor will be free to work for the area ski school, or to teach independently. The public will be free to study at the area school or with an independent instructor of its choice. Ski schools must then offer the instructor a better deal as an incentive to stay, and of course the success of the independents will be according to their abilities, as it should be. As things are now, the ski areas and ski school officials claim a very powerful ski teaching monopoly -- both of profits and choice of skiing technique to be taught. We are opposed to these monopolies by their very nature, and because the area operators' permits do not give any such exclusive right. We are therefore now appealing to all certified ski instructors for their backing. We need help in two areas. First, we would like each one of you to sign the lower left corner of this letter, add any remarks you wish, and mail it to: Edward P. Cliff, Chief, U. S. Forest Service 14th Street & Independence Avenue, S.W. Washington, D. C. 20250 where we ask him to receive these letters as a petition to allow certified ski instructors to obtain ski teaching use permits subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as he may prescribe. Second, we need money to keep this movement underway. Your contribution should be sent to: Instructors' Legal FUnd Box 321 Aspen, Colorado 81611 ~ie assume thot most of you who are not ski area management officials will feel as we do. Please act promptly with your letters to VJashington and contributions to Aspen. Thank you. (name and division) Remarks: ~~nce:ryly, ;A~;'L >& j,~y / i 7t a c: f! ;GI.t,a~ ,I Don Lemos, R.I>i.S.I.A.

Lenk, Cha~rman of the Board of The Garcia Corporation and Mr. Richard Falcone, . President of The Garcia Ski & Tennis Corporation, I would like to welcome you to the. 2nd North American Ski Instructors Congress. If you attended the first NASIC sponsored by The Garcia Ski Corporation and Vail Associates in May, 1970, I am sure you are avlare of the interest we have in professional skiing .. An effort ~as been made to expand the program to include not only our own professionals but our European colleagues as well. This is a result of some of the suggestions made last year which we feel will strengthen and expand our knm'iledge and enab~e us to pro~uce more we11-info:cmed professionals. with these facts in· mind, I vJou1d appreciate it if you would take a few moments to fill out the attached questionnaire and return it to me so that Garcia Ski Corporation can, with your help, continue to contribute to the future of professional skiing. Thank you for attending NASIC II and taking the time to contribute to its present and future success. SJS:m1 attach.

"............ ~ . ..".....~ ... ~. __ ~.. ~-~----~,- "_. ~~- ~-- Please note that dues are now $30, as voted by the membership at the Sugarloaf Rally last spring. Your dues are payable by November 1st. From November 1st to January 1st, a late fee of $5 will be charged, and from January 1st to July 1st, a late fee of $10 will be charged. Members who have not paid their dues by July 1st shall be dropped from the Roster, and reinstatement will mean taking and passing a new examination. Yes, this is a tougher policy on dues collection. But why should 10% of the membership receive benefits of being a member for a year for free before paying dues without being assessed? Make your checks payable to the USEASA, and MAIL directly to 20 Main Street, Littleton, New Hampshire 03561. This one check in the amount of $30 will pay your PSIA membership, USEASA membership, and CPSI dues. SKI SCHOOL DIRECTORS CLINIC, PRE-COURSES & EXAMS, RALLY: While the dates are not yet known~>we have selected the sites for the following: Ski School Directors Clinic - Jiminy Peak, (mid-December) Pre-courses and Exams - Belleayre Mt. (early February), Stratton Mt. (early March) and Mittersill (late March or early April) Rally - Waterville Valley (early April) . As soon as we have the dates for all, probably in September, we'll let .you know. SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED: One of our biggest hang-ups has been the one of lack of personal communications. We think we've come up with at least ~ partial solution to the problem, and which is a gteat st~p iri the right direction. - 2 - They are called Work Shop Clinics. These clinics will be conducted on a weekend (2 full days), and while dates have not been set, we hope to have three of them held in January, and one in early February. The fol16wing sites will conduct these clinics a) Bromley Mt. b) Loon Mt. c) Greek Peak d) Wachusett Mt. These clinics are open to all CPSI's, and apprentice instructors working in a school. The fee will be $15 for·CPSI's and $35 for apprentice instructors. What will take place at these clinics? The an~wer is everything. A --t-eant of £x-aminel'-San4-~]}-.T~ -members--w..il-1--conduct these elini-cs. If you have questions, you'll get answers, you'll work, and you'll learn, and you'll be brought up-to-date on everything as we know it. We think you'll like these clinics - they're for you, so take advantage of them. ALSO, attendance at one of these clinics will be given credit for In lieu of a Rally attendance. WELCOME: Last season 162 candidates out of a total of 376 passed their examination. We are happy to have you join our ranks, we know you'll be great assets to the CPSI organization. DON'T BE A DROP OUT: On July 1st, as,these bills are being mailed, 84 members are being dropped from the Roster for one of the three following reasons a) non-payment of dues b) no Rally attendance (mandatory at leas.t once every 3 years) c) transfer. KEEP US POSTED: ____________ -'_Ey_er~y~~ we_get word from some of you ~ha1 __ YQu'_ren_nQt- g,.Dllill~ __ _ any mail, but you neglected to tell us that you have moved three times since the last time you got mail. Keeping an up-to-date stencil file on 1100 CPSI's is a big job, help us to help you by notifying us of any new address changes. Yes, we goof at times also, so let us know when we do, so that the error can be corrected. FALL MEMBERSHIP MEETING: At the rally this past spring it was voted that we should try one more Fall Meeting of the CPS I membership to conduct our business affairs. As soon as a time and place are selected we'll let you know. WHERE DOES OUR MONEY GO?

Parkinson, President Intermountain Ski Instructor Assoc. 2245 Oneida Street Sault Lake City, Utah 84109 Dear Mr. Parkinson: Thank you for your quick response to my inquiry concerning your mailing list. We have made the same request of other ski instructor associations, and the PNSIA advised us that for a sma" fee, we could use their addressograph and obtain tapes with the names and addresses of their members rather than type them on the envelopes. I am curious if you have the same set·up in the Intermountain Ski Instructors Association office. The PNSIA secretary suggested that I forward envelopes to her which she would run on their addressograph plates. She would then return them to The Lange Co. We would stuff the envelopes and mail them. The Lange Co. would pay the cost of the postage for mailing the envelopes to and from the PNSIA office, plus the cost of the tapes and the running of the addressograph machine. It turns out to be a very nominal fee. If your set-up in the Intermountain Ski Instructors Association office is the same, this would be a better system for us, as the typing of the envelopes can be a rather long, and arduous task. Please advise us if this is possible and what the cost would be. Concerning the Seminar at Burley, IdClho, we would like to attend, and we appreciate your forwarding us the details on the seminar. I sent a copy of your letter to Bruce rylorse, our r~Jati~iln tbITrit~fu9uh!aTn-~~arid either he or myself will attend with product. We _appreciate your invitation very much and thank you.

Central Avenue Albany" New York 12206 14 July 1~7l In reply to-your letter of June 16th to Division Presidents re divisional·· officers, herewith is how the Eastern DiVision of CPSl1s functions. We are the only CPSI organization of the eight divisions still associated directly with its division association - in this case the USEASA. While 'we are still ":married." to the USEASA" we are also !!% <iivorced from it. By this I mean that the CPSIls are allowed to run their own show" ana are not controlled by the division. The CPSI r s are governed by a six man group called the ttCommittee of Professional Ski Teacher Certification". This Committee has a chairman as its head. ~ - All members of this committee are amateurs, although all are connected in some way in the ski business - suoh as ~ea oWner etc. The reason why the Eastern CPSI1a have voted to be governed by an amateur boal since 1!37 is this - they feel that body of this type (Which renders all final Il'cis!ons re the CPSI) will make impartial or non-partisan decisions which will affect them. '"' In moat cases when the CPSI membership votes on something at a meeting of tne membership the Committee will agree with the membershipo HOwever" there have'"'Qeen cases where the Comm~ ittee has felt (for gooci reason~) not '"'to approve of~legialation which the CPSI membership has ·'voted for. When this ocurrs" the Committee spells out the reasons for their decision" and may suggest an alt~rnate p1~ or ;dea. One of the other reasons for a COmmittee" which is not nec­essarily permanent ( the Chairmanship Changes about every 6-8 years) is for continuity - whiCh we in the East feel strongly about. - 2 - We, ot course, have several commdttees functioning tor the entire membership, suan as technica11 news 1etterl -D.Team, advertising etc. - plus a Board ot Examiners who conduct our pre-coUl'ses and. examinations. So tar our organization has functioned very smoothly unaer this type ot arrangement. lloweverl I would wager that in -the next tew years the Eastern CPSI's will set up their own organ­ization, suCh as the other CPSI associationa within their div­isions. - Eti, I hope this 1. the type of inf'orml.tion ,.ou wanted., 1f you nee .. anything more, please let me know. ----------- T 0 FAR WEST SKI INSTRUUTORS ASSOUIATION Werner F.

The main purpose of the meeting, however, was to discuss pl~ns for this year's Fall Seminar. After considerable discussion,the Committee voted unanimously not to hold a Fall Seminar this year o The primary reason for this decision was the fear that, without the incentive to attend to vote this year, attendance would be somewhat less than it has been in the past when the annual meeting was held in conjunction with the seminar and elections for the BOD were held. Members of the Executive Committee considered this problem very carefully and did not make the decision lightly. It was decided that in lieu of a seminar type meeting in September, that in conjunction with the Examirers Clinic, our annual Business Meeting would be held and in addition an "on the hill" program for all interested members would be con­ducted by the Certification Committee. The details of this "Special Clinic" will be worked out and presented to the BOD later for approval. In considering the expenses and considerable effort involved in putting on the Fall Seminar, for a relatively small percentage of our membership, that our time and money would be better spent in conducting a clinic on the hill for interested members at the be­ginning of the season when enthusiasm is high. In order to conduct our business and set plans for the coming season, the BOD and committees must get together. The Executive Committee, therefore, recommended that in early September, a two-day business session be held by the BOD, officers and various committees. The express purpose would be to "roll up our~s,leeves" and go to work hammering out next year's programs. The date tentatively set is the week­end of September 18th and 19th -- place to be announced later. On another subject, the "Study Group" committee, formed to draft a reorganiza­tion of the Corporation Officers and Committee structure has had its first meeting and will meet again July 22.

Par kinsOll 2245 Oneida Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84109 iJear Clark: Re: Annual Meeting .Ju1y 19, 1971 I have reviewed the .~ticles of Incorporation and find no provision therein requiring or relating to the annual meeting. In revimving the By-Laws, I find that the annual meeting is mentioned in the following sections: Section 1 - The annual meeting is mentioned in connection with vacancies. This reference does not apply at the present time. Section 6 indicates that the Board of Directors shall meet within two Jays of the arurual meeting. It does not require a given time or date for that meeting, however. Section 9 deals most directly with the annual meeting. It indicates that the corporation shall hold an annual meeting and that the place and hour are to be set by the majority vote of members at the preceding aIUUlal meeting. However, as in the case this year, no detennination was made. Therefore, the Board of Directors can determine the hour and place of such armual meeting. I should indicate that the executive conrnittee, under the provision of Section 4, could exerciSe'the detennination for and on behalf of the governing board in setting the time and place. Therefore, fran a review of the By-Laws, it should be noted that: 1. We are required to hold an arurual meeting for the general membership. 2. TIlis meeting rust occur within the fiscal year of the Associ­ation, which means that an annual meeting must be held prior to June 30, 1972. July 19, 1971 Page 2 Mr. Clark T. Parkinson - 3.

Box 919 Park City, Utah 84060 Dear Woody: August 12, 1971 Re: School Skiing Program As we discussed on the phone, the I.S.I.A. would like to cooperate in every respect we can with the School Skiing Program in the Wasatch Front Area. Specifically, we feel we can help in the following areas: 1. School Skiing Curriculum: We will recommend that if the program starts this year that they use the Methods section of the Third Edition of the P.S.I.A. manual as a basi; of an outline for their curriculum. 2. Clinics for Physical Education Teachers: We would be willing through our Clinic Committee to set up an accreda­tion program where interested physical education teachers could take a ski instructors training program through our Association and receive some sort of certificate or credit. Details on this will have to be worked out with the B.O.D. and our Certification and Clinic Committees. 3. Ski School Directors: Members of our Ski School Directors Committee could cooperate with you in helping to determine the economics, including lift passes, lesson fees, etc. We could help, specifically, in this area in getting the Directors together and encouraging them to participate in the program. It is my understanding that the principals and supervisors are going to meet August 12th, and we will be given the opportunity to present a program to these people. I have outlined to Dick Frost, who has been involved both from the ski patrol's point of view and with Bob Autry in putting this program together and presenting it to the B.O.D., the above areas where we can be of help, and either Dick or Bob Autry will present the total package to the principals. Mr. Anderson 2 8-12-71 I will attempt to keep you advised of any activities of our Association with regard to the School Skiing Program, and as we discussed, will attempt at every juncture to include as many Ski Schools in the Wasatch Front Area in the School Skiing Program. I agree with you wholeheartedly that we cannot become involved in this program if it is just goina to benefit one or two schools. CTP:ld cc: B.O.D. Bob Autry Sincerely, JL~J Clark T. Parkinson President .. Jan Lowen 5 Rehov Arnminadav Abu Tor, Jerusalem Israel Dear Niss Lov/en: August 15, 1971 I am in receipt of your letter dated August 2, 1971 wherein you request information concerning certification and opportunities of obtaining 150 hours of teaching ex­perience •. With regard to certification, please find enclosed the certification policy of Intermountain Ski Instructors i-\ssocia­tion as well as an application for an exam. I believe the mat­erial i~ fairly self-explanatory and should·answer most of your questions. ~lile most candidates that take the exam have a sponsoring ski scho61 in which they teach, I do not believe this would be a requirement in your case. You'll note that we have two levels of certification i.e., full certified and asso­ciate certified. ~fuile all of the ski ins"f::ructors associations in this country do not recognize the associate rating, they all do recognize the full certific3tion rating. Once that rating is obtained, your status as a certified ski instructor in this country would be complete. ~vith regard tcobtaining teaching experience (which is im­portant prior to taking the exam) I would refer you to individ­ual ski schools within our area. I believe all of them have training programs for instructors. Said ski schools are listed in the material I have sent to you and although the ski school directors are not listed for the schools the area representative is and he would be able to help you. If we can be of any futher help to you in this matter, please feel free to contact us. EJP/bp Sincerely, EDWIN J. POND VICE-P RESIDDENT. 5 RehoT Amminadav _"'!.ouT o r, J erusa1 em.
