Show / Bill T anler, Editor Northwest Skier la01 Ranier Ave. S. Seattle 44, Wa.h. Dear Billl January 11, 1962 Jimmy Johnston, sec:Y. 3505 Admiral Lane No. j'J\inneapol1s 22, 1'.11no. For the past five years I have been the representative of the Certified Ski Instruc:tors in the Central United States on the N.S.A. Certified Ski Instructors Committee. During thole five years I have been as ac:tive as anyone in promoting Certified Ski Instructors on a naUond basis end in promoting cooperation between the instructor yroups of our seven divisions. for the rnostpart the representatives from the other divisions have been the umeand very close to the nationd picture over the past five years. During those five year. a great deal has been accomplished, and yet, each one of us felt disappointed that many of the things that should be happening for the Certified Ski Instructors on a National basis were not happening. Part of the . reason for this i& that each of the representatives of thp seven divisions had heavy duties in their own divisions; to attend to during the year, and secondly, that 8 committee composed of one instructor hom each division just did not lend itself to establishing a strong unity among Certified Ski Instructors nationally. Having had these experiences, .11 of us felt that the time had come when a more active national campaign should be undertakeno This was, then, 8 natural evolution of the ~ertlfied Ski Instructors program on 8 national bash. ~ince each of the seven representatives was elected to their position to represent their division nationally, it was felt that this was by far the strongest group to attempt to organbe the national program, and it is for that reason that on Aug. 16, 1961 the seven representatives, namely, Max Dercunl from Southern Rocky, Doug Pfeiffer, from Far West, Bill Lash from Inter-Mountain, Kurt Chase from Northern Rocky, Don Rhinehart from Pacif ie Northwest, Paul Valar from Eastern, and myself from Central, incorporated as a 1eyal body. Since that time, we have had a director's meeting in Denver, Colorado at which time By-Laws were adepted and programs were corrrnenced for the present season. It is fully a democratic organization with directors being elected at the next annual meeting from the membership at large. At the director's meeting, the proyrams commenced were (1) the adoption of .n emblem or use in distinguishing members of the group, (2) the planning of a demonstration to be yi\IJn at the lnternational Congress at . Monte Bandone, near Trento, Italy, 1. i1 the early part of April and the . possibility of our group bidding for the Internpiional Congress In 1965 to be held at a United States Ski Ax'ea,(3) issuing sn identification card with the instl'uctor's picture in plutle which would be approved end accepted by ell. governments here and in Europe, (4) planning of the Professional bkl Instructors of America Congress at Alta, Utah on May 11, 12 & 13, 1962, and (!» other Important ground wox'k. . Now, regarding the article in the Northwest Skier on the Pac1fic Nortlwest Ski Instructors Assn's outlook on the new Professional Ski Instructor's of America group. 1. First of all, no one aaked the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors for their eroorsement. This newg7'oup is strictly a voluntary undertaking by indiv1dual ski instl:'uctors fully certified and in good standing in their own divisions, and actively engaged in Ikl teaching. The new PSlA do •• not undertake to replece the instructor groups in the seven divisions or the National Committee, but is a new group in addition to these, and simply undertakes to do wo~k that has never been done before. It is not correct to say that the PNSlA was c:hooling whether to endorse the new PSIA group and thereby break present tiea with PNSAor the National Ski Assn. 2. It is well known nationally that the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Assn. has plenty of ita own troubles with its own instructors end with the Pacific Northwest Ski Assn., and it evidently is attempting to play politics by such statements 8S "desires to retain ita current relationship with PNSA". PSIA 1s not asking them not to. . 3. And yet, the article leems to Bgree that the PNS!A wanted exactly what the PSlA is offering to pI'ovide. 4. It is quite obvious that the reasons given by the PNSIA Board for their Itt! tude in 6iuggest!ng that their membenhip let further time pass before joining the new group is because they fear they will loose some of their power to the new national group. This, of course, is not true. In fact, each division has much to galn. b. The Board of L>irectors of PNSIA evidently is not aware that the President of PNSA, lr. Marion H. Stiles, who h also the NSA President, communicated with the new Profenlonal group and inv11..ed them to take over the work \ of the NbA Certified Ski Instructors Committee and become the nationel representative of eki instructors affiliated with the National Ski Assn. While we appreciated the Pz'eddent'6 offer, we hIt that dnce the new PSIA W98 8 group of individual ski instructors, that the National Committee should still exist and dee! primarily with correlating the certification programs of the seven divls1onE. In addition to L'r. Stiles invitation, the 8.nnouncement of the formation of our new PcIA was met with a resolution of congratulations and cooperation by the National Ski Assn. at its last annual meeting. The only conclusion I can personally drvw from the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Assn. Board of Director's unsolicited comment is that they are '---~------- 1 • deliberately trying to belittle a n,'I' national program before that program has ev.n had an opportunity to begin to fune-' ~;>n. Additional evidence of this is found in: the lalt two paragraphs of your article in which the PNSIA indicates they-will not recogn1ze members of the Profes,ional Ski Instructors of America •• certified ski instructors. As was the cue in the 11' withholding endorieme.nt when no endorsement was ever ,olicited, likewise. no one is a,king PNSIA to recognize member. of PSIA as certified ski instructors simply because they belong to PSIA. The faot is that. only fully certified ski instructor. 1n good standing 1n their own division arad currently engaged 1n ski teaching are eligible for membership in the Profeselonal _ Ski Instructors of America group. .• . . The last paragraph of the article stating "PSIA does not require member8 to. pall certiflcationexaminatioi'll" h. of course, falae. As I have prev10\1&1y atated every member ie fully certified 1n hh own divis10n. What' concerna me 11 that the 'Soard of Director. of PNSIA have deemed it neeenary to warn their members not to join and, 1n essence. indicate that ifthey did join before the Board of Dlr,ctors aaid it wa. all right, that some form of diac1plinery action might be taken. Now, that doesn't eound very much 11ke democratic procesa, doe. it? .' I think it unfortunate that at a. time when Amer 1c an Profe.s1onal _Ski Inatructors need to unify and stand up together and be . counted, that we have a group of ,kl lnitructorl who wish.to iaolate themlelvel •. As a paradox, it has been interesting to note that some 100 top professional ski instructors in the Un! ted State. have jOined'· the new PSIA. and not with a "what am I going to get out of it" or "how big is the pin going to be", but with the attitude of "anything that Can be done to raise the standards of the profeslional Iki instructor and gi~e him a better standing in the eyes of the skier, i8 what I want".

Monroe St. - Denver 9 Editorial The Case for the Club Consider the case of the ski club. A quarter of a century ago ski clubs were the backbone of skiing. Clubs were the first developers of ski areas and lodges. Most people interested in skiing joined a ski club. As time passed and major ski areas were developed by commer. cial interests and improved highways, plus more cars per capI~a, made the larger ski areas easily accessible to all skiers, the Importance of the ski club began to slip. Ski clubs became less of a necessity and more of a luxury. Today it is unlikely thai one out of n hundred skiers Sl'(\tl III the major ski areas in the Northwest belongs to a ski club of any kind. The average may be higher in the smaller cities in the region where ski clubs have important roles in the social pattern, but this is more than offset in the larger cities, Seattle, Portland and Spokane, where ski clubs membership ig microscopic. Except for the established clubs in the smaller cities and the large city Clubs with their own lodge facilities, there is· nothing to indicate the average ski club will do more than increase membership at a diminishing rate. While these clubs may grow in total membership, this growth will not keep pace with the general growth in skiing. At the game time the programs for which ski clubg accept responsibility, particularly competition, continue to increage at a mushrooming rate. The paradox here is that while the number of competitors and individual competitions grow, the groups (the clubs) vital to oversee the competitions are slipping behind. Carrying this through to its logical conclusion, there will become a time when there are many more competitors looking for }'fiCeR to enter than th(\l'(\ nrC' ('ll1hs wi11inr: to flRSllmo rf'lllpon"fhfl· ity for sponsoring the necessary races. There are already signs of discouragement in some clubs. These clubs are finding it more difficult each season to find volunteers willing to put in the long hours necessary to make individual races a success. This is one area where organized skiing, the PNSA in particular, will have to take the lead. It is obvious that mare will haye to be done for the member clubs if club interest is to be maintained. Clubs are justified in looking to the PNSA to gtl'enghten the club structure. Specifically, new clubs lleNl mnlet'ial to hdp establigh the club constitution and to plan club activities. The established clubs need help in the steps necessary to conduct races, train officials and establish juniol' programs. Beyond the area of competition, organized skiing is in a position to provide service to the club program through the establiRhing of film libraries, ski area and travel information and on through the simpler projects that make clubs successful-how to organize trips, how to conduct interesting meetings, etc. Certainly the ski club and the govel'lling bodies 01' organi7.ed skiing are dependent upon each other and are justified in expect· ing mutual assistance.

As skiers we were counted over the February 10 arid 11 weekend as part of the first national ski census. Unlike the nosey national census th~t comes around every 10 years, the ski census had no interest in whether or not there was a bathtub in your house, just that you were out on skis was enough. The census was conducted by the Public Lands Committee of the National Ski Association, William Keil, Portland, Ore., chairman, in an attempt to answer the never answered question as to just how many skiers there are in the USA. ALL SKI AREA OPERATORS in the United States were sent questionaires (and stamped reply envelopes) that were to be filled out and returned to regional members of the Public Lands Committee. The regional members will pass along their total!; to the national office and, prl'gto, this will prodnce the GRAND TOTAL. ; Estimates on the dumber of skiers in the United States have ranged from a low of 1,000,000 to an optimistic 6,000,000. The estimat~ of 1,000,000 could easily have come from a ski shop operator interviewed on a gloomy and rainy Wednesday morning. The 6,000,000 estimate could be the guess offered by the fellow working behind the counter at the coffee urn in the area lodge on a Sunday in February at 1 :30 p.m. BUT JUST LIKE the old guessing contest where you could get a 10 pound ham for guessing the number of beans in the jar in the grocery store window, all guesses are worth considering until the beans are counted then there is only one total. ' The only ~ailing of the ski census is that there is no way to determine the number of beans who stayed home over the weekend and who are still beans even if they weren't counted. Yet a one-we€kend survey will be beUer than none and the Public Lands Committee deserves much credit for organizing a census as a public project that will be of extreme interest to the ski industry as a whole. Most individual ski areas with their own individual ticket sales available know if they're running ahead or hehind past yenrR, but with no Ind\U~trywide total available, there Is no WIRy to tell how the individual area's progress compares to the other ski areas In the nation.

Y., PUBLISHERS OF SKI MAGAZINE INCORPORATING SKI LIFE, SKI BUSINESS, AND SKI SHOP BIBLE AND SKI INDUSTRY GUIDE Vol. III, No. 9 ~,larch 5, 1962 SKI SHOP WINS CASE -- Ski shops won an important battle in a trial concluded two weeks ago in a Vermont court. The case, apparently the first of its type to actually go to trial, was brought by a skier, Tclarylin Shore Lustig of New York City, against Mr. and ~Jrs. John Laden-burg, their shop, the Mt. Snow Ski Shop,~and the Mt. Snow Development Corp. Mr~. Lustig had rented skis with release bindings from the Mt. Snow Ski Shop. In a fall, she suffered a double spiral fracture of the left leg and a broken bone in her right foot. In her suit she charged that the shop had been negligent in adjusting the bindings. The skis were not presented in court. The bindings used as an exhibit were not of the type used by the shop. The thef3is that Mrs. Lun'tir,'~; Flt,torn(J~'n fl\,t,r;rnp\'(:rl to d,)vlJlop Wfl!1 that any release binding that did not release was ipso facto misadjusted. The plaintiffs also tried to show that improper procedure was followed in fitting the boots to the binding because the fitter failed to tap the boot out of the binding. After testimony by Mrs. Lustig's witne~ses, her attorneys withdrew the case, apparently when it became clear that a motion for a directed verdict of dismissal would be granted by the judge. As a result, no judicial decision was made. The Ladenburgs and ~,lt. Snow were represented by Elliot Barber, brother of former U. S. jumping champion Tclezzie Barber, of Brattleboro. The attorneJ' is also a skier. Tv1AJOR CANNON, N.H., PROJECT PROPOSED -- A rehabilitation project "to restore Cannon fllountain to its former position as a foremost Eastern ski capital'" is being proposed by the New Hamp-shire Recreation Division. The complete project calls for the installation of five new lifts, at least two of CopyriR'ht 1961 Unlve ... al Publi.hln .. and Di.tributlnlf Corp. whiGh will be high-capacity double chairs, broad new lower slopes and other trail improve-ments, the relocation of the highway and the creation of a new area at the mountain summit, which would give the area a total capacity of 7,375 skiers an hour. Estimates place the cost at $1,'230,000, of which $625,000 will be spent during the first phase this summer. Capital for the rehabilitation will come from a ~,10,000,000 reercnUon \Jrmrj in!lu r; npprovnd by th~ New Hampshire legislature during the 1961 session. The project still has to be approved by the governor and his council, but this seems assured. One of the speakers backing the project at the public meeting announcing the plans was Phil Robinson, general manager of Cranmore Mt. Robinson is a member of the governor's council. CRYSTAL tIT. ACCIDENT -- The chairlift accident at Crystal Mt., Beulah, Mich., which injured five Feb. 11, apparently was caused by a swaying chair, according to E. F. Abbey, president of the corporation. The chair, made by Brandle of Switzerland, was installed 14 months ago. There was no wind at the time and the lift did not have a history of swaying. )0 The swaying chair, which was swinging as much as 30 to 40 degrees from vertical, hit the first tower, causing the cable to jump the sheave. Four chairs hit the ground. Two of these chairs were ahead of the tower, one at it, and the other behind it. Tho drop was a maximum of 15 feet at the tower, 8 to 10 feet for the other chairs. All of the injuries were the result of the fall of the chairs. The automatic brake stopped the cable in two feet. There was no structural damage to either lift or cable. Before the chair went back into operation Feb. 14, tests were made in an attempt to de-termine the reason for the sway. A limit switch operated by a cord on the bottom side of thr first tower was also installed. This will stop the lift if the chair swings wide. The switc l works on the same principle as safety gates at the top of rope t.ows. SKI INSTRUCTOR GROUP RECOGNIZED -- The board of directors of tho Nntionn] Ski AnRocintion hon recognized the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA). The organization, which was formed last May during the annual instructors conference at Whitefish, Mont., will replace the NSA Ski Instructors Committee and will represent the NSA at the International Ski School Congress at Monte Bondone, Italy, April 8-14. / Bill Lash, one of the organizers of the ~roup, said recently that the PSIA will get off the ground this year. Membership is now over 125, including a number of prominent ski school directors. The group is also receiving moral and financial support from several industry leaders . . _------ HALL OF FAME FALLS THROUGH An attempt to establish an international hall of fame at Squaw Valley fell through when the Far West Ski Association failed to back the project on the grounds that the Hall of Fame in Ishpeming, Mich., sponsored by the National Ski Association, was enough. The project, which had already received considerable publicity, may still go through in another form. Speculation is now that it will be a museum. PACIFIC NORTHWEST NOTES -- Lack of parking space is becoming a major concern of Pacific Northwest area operators, who depend heavily on day skiers from nearby Portland and Soattlo for their revenue. The problem was raised by Everett Darr, owner of the Summit area on Mt. Hood and coowner of Multorpor, another Mt. Hood area. He sees lack of parking facilities rather than lack of lodging as the major block to the growth of skiing in the region. "We have over $40,000 invested in parking at Multorpor," he 8Hiu, "und our parking lot still isn't big enough." Darr is not the only one concerned. Many maj or Northwest areas have no off-highwa:{ parking since they are located in major passes on U.S. and state hi~ways, where space is at a premium. Snoqualmie Summit, one of the busiest of U.S. areas, has to find room for over 90 ski school busses every Saturday plus the cars of individual skiers. The problem has grown to the point where the Washington State Highway Department is making plans to build a new four-lane route to by-pass the traffic congestion. Night Skiing: With many Pacific Northwest ski areas within an hour's drive from the major cities, night skiing is growing in popularity. Nine areas in the region now offer this service, usually from 7 to 10 p.m. about twice a week. The most ambitious night program is that of Snoqualmie Summit, which operat"es four nights a week, Wednesday through Saturday. Neighboring Ski Acres has a tie-in with a downtown Seattle department store and offers special bus service for night ski school classes. ""Area Operators: The Pacific N0t'thwt'st Ski AreR Operntors i\s8C'lcintion hAs chnnt:':ed its name to Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association on the grounds that the word "operator" has a poor connotation. The spring meeting of the renamed group has been scheduled for May 3-4 Sales: Seattle ski sales got their traditional eArly start during the first week in Februar~r. Department stores triggered the sales season and were followed quickly by the , specialty shops. Most stores avoided the "end-of-season" tag, instead called them "pre-in-ventory," "stock reduction," and simply "ski sale." One ski shop owner explained his mid-February "end-of-season" sale this way: This is the time of the year when our sales level off and we operate pretty much on a break-even basis. By beginning our sales now we can move a lot of merchandise early and cut back on our overhead earlier -- employees in particular. The end result is much the same as wait ing unt il late March, except that by holdinr; our salcn now wo llflvo \,lIn t much moro Limo to move the merchandise.

In the event that your pin was Jrdered prior to November 1st, and you do not have your pin, please contact Jimmy Johnston at once, give the approximate date of order, and state whether or not you submitted a check at the time you paid the dues, or paid it separately at another time. PSIA apologizes for any inconvenience you have been caused by not receiving your pin. Pin inventories have now been moved to Mr. Johnston's office in Minneapolis. This will eliminate possible oversights between orders, mailings, ~ngravings and final mailings between PSIA and the pin company. CERTIFICATION NEWS: The fall meeting of the FSIA Certification Committee will be held December 7-9, 1962, Mt. Telemark, Wisconsin. Who will attend? The Chief Examiners of the seven divisions of the USSA. Reason for the meeting? To explore the possibility of standardizing the score-card. This represents the third meeting of the chief examiners and considerable ground work has been accomplished. A standard scorecard that would be adopted by the divisions would help unify the examination procedures. The meeting will be of benefit to the divisions, since Chief examiners can gain from the experience of each division. This is not an attempt at a national certification plan. It is an attempt at more specific-COordination between the divisions through better understanding of divisional problems. The PSIA objective is to be able to show to the skiing public that there is a standardization of examination procedure and certification proficiency between the seven divisions. Certification-Examination standards in all divisions ~ holding high in this country. The basic difference now is the score card and procedures. Procedure differences are minor. Reciprocity: Good news comes from the United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association, Certification Committee & Board of Examiner Meeting in October. The USEASA will accept requests for transfers from fully certified teachers from other divisions. USEASA will not accept "associate" ratings. This is a change of policy that has existed for twenty-five years. Now all seven divisions will accept transfer requests for full instructor. Reciprocity by the East is a compliment to the other divisions and a final step towards unified standards of performance. Other news from the East: Plans are to produce a twenty-minute movie with color and sound. 'Theme of the movie will be the USEASA Certification Program. Congratulations on a project that has been needed in this country for years. News of the results of the Mt. Telemartk meetlng will be published after the first of the year. ,/ ~ News Letter Page Three November 20, 1962 A COMPARISON OF CERTIFICATION !2!

Instruction by qualified persons materially reduces accidents as well as adding to skier-enjoyment •....• " This certification holds the key to future understandings concerning the certification- examinations in the United States. 1- The responsibjlity for certification - examination program is clearly a responsibility of the division certification committee or instructor organization. 2- Professional Ski Instructors of America is a coordinating group of certification in the United States. a- It coordinates the application of uniform testing among the divisions in an advisory capacity. b- The divisions are represented through PSIA by the PSIA Certification Committee. c- This committee is composed of the Chief Examiners from the divisions. II!! I Letter Page Five November 20, 1962 d- In most divisions the Chief Examiner (or Director of ExamiDations) is elected by the instructors organization BOD. In those dive that do not have a Chief Examiner the representative is appointed by the committee and/or Board of Examiners. 3- PSIA Certification Committee gathers, evaluates and disseminates information and makes recommendations to the division certification groups. 4- Liaison between professional and certified ski instruction and organized skiing is at the division level and between PSIA and USSA at the National level. 5- Liaison is clear between the division instructor's group and the local and/or regional forest authority. PSIA cooperates with the USFS on a National policy level. Your Directors and PSIA merr.bers have been in liaison with the following since the Alta meeting: Divisional BOD meetings of the USSA, the fall meeting of the BOD, USSA in Denver in September, the BOD meetings of the FWSIA, PNWSIA, ISlA, RMSIA, and the USEASA Certification Committee & Board of Examiners Meeting. PSIA also attended the Annual Meeting of the National Forest Recreation Association in Boise, Idaho, November 6-7, 1962. Here is news about the Fall Board of Directors Meeting, PSIA, September 1-3, 1962, Cosmopolitan Hotel, Denver, Colorado. Present were Bill Lash, Paul Valar, Jimmy Johnston, Max Dercum, Junior Bo~~ous, Curt Chase, Don Rhinehart and Willy Schaeffler. Absent was Doug Pfeiffer who was in South America. COPYRIGHTS: Jimmy Johnston reports that the best way to protect PSIA and "The American Techniquell is by constant use and association. The practability of Copyrighting will be investigated on all PSIA material. A CLARIFICATION OF THE TERMS PROFESSIONAL AND AMATEUR: Since the inception of PSIA, the question has been raised about the differences between professional ski instructors and the amateur teacher. The question was again asked when the Minutes of the Alta Meeting were published. The Alta report, p. 1iJ, talked of the professional instructor and the International Professional Ski Instructors Association and the subsequent opposition from the amateurs (instructors). The International Ski School Congress was conceived and organized by the Alpine Nations for the purposes of comparing of ski techniques, teaching methods and theories. The intent was to create technical alignment in the Alps for the benefit of the tourist. The Congress was only a working group - not a closely administered organization. Observers came to the Congress from other countries. Many of these countries had no professional ski instructors. Some of these countries included those behind the Iron Curtain - that purports to have no professionalism in sports. II!! • Page Six November 20, 1962 At the Congress in Poland, the Corrununist Countries made an attempt to extend the directorship beyond the original seven members. At the Italy Congress, the motiot) to extend was introduced again. Attendance at the Congress increased from fourteen nations in 1959 in Poland to twenty countries in 1962 in Hilly. Thin inc rCI"16f" wnn in spite of the fact that the Congress does no useful function between Congress years ,. In Italy, the professional instructors from the Alpine Nations and the United States insisted that at least two-half days be devoted to professional proble~s, i.e., tariffs, laws, ski school schedules, etc. This brought argument from the floor of the convention. The amateurs felt that the professionals were withholding in~ formation from the amateurs. The International Professional Ski Instructors Association was proposed B.:'.d -+:he Congress was divided into two camps - with the amateur nations controlling th~ votes. This, according to Paul Valar, played right into the hands of the Com..rnur.ist Countries - and they made the best of the situation at the general meeting. As Paul further states " ••••• we have the respect of the free European nations as a skiing nation (the U.S.A.). Unfortunately some of our energy will have to be diverted to (International) politiCS, not by choice, but by necessity •.• " In the United States some Concern has been Raised over the Word Professional. The dictionary describes a profession as the occupation to which one devotes oneself a calling, as of teaching. A professional is one who is engaged for a livelihood or gain in an activity puroucd, ll!1un.l.ly Ill' "fL.-tl, rO!· llClP"'('llllflf'rr-\Il] satisfaction by amateurs. It is pertaining to a profession as pro::esslonc1.1 ethirs and has the characteristics of conforming to the standards of a professloDo Thus, a professional, follows a line of conduct as though it were a professiorJ as opposed to an amateur. An amateur is one who cultivates a particular pursuit from taste withot:t p'.;rsuing it professionally. In sports and especially athletics he is one who is not rated as a professional. Marian Whiting of Portland, Oregon, describes the word "Professior.al" in regard to ski teaching as intended to describe ~ quality of perforJUance and not necessan.lly a personal economic situation. Many instructors in this country der:i.~re their principal income from other sources. Nevertheless, their o.ttituclC', nhilHy nnd performance is Professional. And yet, it is realized that thousands of amateur instru::::tors i:1 -t:.his cCJ....'1.t!"y are doing an excellent job of teaching the fundamentals of skiing in ski cluts, institution programs, colleges and schools. The differential is between the student who pays for e lesson and -I:he student who does not pay. Similarly, he who teaches for pay, not l".ominal expenses or lift passes, should be considered a professional. THE UNAUTHORIZED PRAC'TICE OF SKI TEACHING: On a motion from Paul Valar, the Boa.rd of Directors cr,tnlll1flhcd n c~,'!IIT1E.~.r>.!? tfJ l',r,k into the practice of unauthorized skI teachillg. 'l'hl[~ WII~; It 1'ctJu LL uJ' d I il\'\W,ll,'i1 on the problems resulting from people ~ea~hing who are not o.uthorlzed by the divisional instructors association, divisional certification committee, or the United States Forest Service. ~~ .. -..• /' Page Seven November 20, 1962 i"'" PSIA News Letter This use of the term "unauthorized" does not mean necessarily uncertified. This has been discussed in the previous section in the comparison of amateur and professional. In most cases, ski schools sponsored by newspapers, ski clubs, local governments, civic groups, and institutions of higher education, operate under the sanction of the Forest Service, Ski Association, and/or under the general supervision of the established ski school in the area. The US Forest Service requests that instructors teaching in institutional programs participate in the local ski instructor organization training clinics, symposiums, or rallies. These programs for all intent are considered authorized. At present two instances are under investigation by the Committee. One ski school is in the Western United States, and the other school in the Eastern United States. One school is on private land, the other on a state park. Neither school uses e director who is currently certified by the divisional certification group. In one school a few part-time instructors have associate ratings. In 1he other school the director claims European Certification and coaching background, but this has not been accepted by the local instructors/certification committee. Both these schools make claim to be qualified schools - which they may well be - and both schools advertise and charge for leassons as a fully qualified ski school. It is felt that this is unauthorized by the division instructors association and! or the division of the USSA whose responsibility is to protect the skiing public against unfair or incompetent teaching. The committee is composed of: Paul Valar, Chairman, Willy Uchlletl'ler, JUlIlul' Bounous, Jimmy Johnston, and George Savage. Any member of PSIA who has an interest in this subject will be added to the committee at large. This committee does not have the authority to take action but will only investigate and report its findings to the BOD, PSIA. THE PSIA PATCH: Available in December PSIA will have a patch similar to the PSIA pin. This patch is designed to be worn on the sweater or parka. Patches may be ordered a~ $1.00 each from Jimmy Johnston,Secretary, PSIA, 3505 Admiral Lane No., Minneapolis 22, Minn. PSIA MEMBERSHIP LIST WITH ADDRESSES: The PSIA membership list will be available to the ski industry for sa:e at the stand ard price of $18.00 M. The list is available either on gummed labels or dick-strip. Lists can be ordered from Miss Gloria ChadWick, c/o United Sl~tes Ski Association, the Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, Colorado. A list of the u~~es of the members of PSIA will be published in December. MEMBERSHIP: The BOD voted that the dues for the next year would be $15.00 using the fiscal year of July 1, 1962.

SKI SCHOOL MEMBERSHIP: A new category of membership for ski school members has been established. The ski school director must be an individual member of PSIA. The fee for the SKI SCHOOL MEMBERSHIP is $25.00 per year. The school will be sent a certificate stating PSIA Ski School Member and the year. The Ski School Memberships and Certificate is now ready for mailing and can be purchased through Jimmy Johnston, 3505 Admiral Lane N.) Minneapolis 22, Minn. This membership is designed to promote PSIA at the ski school level and will help finance our budget. Your cooperation is urgently requested. THE AMERICAN SKI SCHOOL STUDENT CLASS RATING CARD: The corporation has now ready for :loBue, in nccorunnc p wtth t.he I\rnc:7rll:l:1.n Ok I rr'chnique, a Ski School Class Rating Card available to Member Ski Schools. One hundred cards will be issued with the Ski School Membership. Additional Student Rating Cards will be available at a nominal fee per one thousand cards (printing and mailing costs). A sample card will be mailed to all members. The Board felt that the Student Rating Card would fill a need between the ski school, the student and especially when the student travels from one ski school to another. THE INTERNATIONAL PASS BOOK: The Corporation will have ready by the lOth of December the International Pass Book for members of PSIA. This will be a hard cover book that will g:l.v(' t.he credentials of a PSIA member. The book will be kept current each year with a dated, signed insert. By request of the European Ski Resorts and in accordance with your membership in the International Professional Ski Instructors Association the Pass Book will be required to have a passport, type and size photo. Members are asked to have these pictures taken and send two copies to Jimmy Johnston. One picture will be placed in the Pass Book and the corner stamped with the Corporate Seal of PSIA. The other picture will be kept on file. The Pass Book will serve as a membership and identification card. It will be recognized in Europe for lift privileges. No other card will be recognized.

"" ...... _.. _ ........... _-.. _----------- , VOLUME III, Number 3 Twenty-five Cents DECEMBER, 1962 THIS IS THE yEAR ..... It doesn't take a crystal ball to see that the Intermountain Ski Association will witness one of its most successful racing seasons this year. It can't help it -- not with 15 of the top 18 ISA skiers who competed in last year's Junior Nationals at Kalispell, Montana, still among the Junior ranks. And not with one of the most impressive lists of S('nior rOlC('rS to co,"" :ll()l1f~ in !:,'v"I:tl Y"II[n wlllli"", Ih,' rIC'I\r1<1I1 count-down. Add to that the fact that five of the nation's biggest races will be staged in this region -- on the home snows and home courses -- and you can see why the ISA can't help but have a banner racing season. The big races include the Snow Cup at Alta, the ISA Downhill and Slalom Championships at Solitude, the NCAA Championships at Solitude, the Harriman Cup at Sun Valley and the Junior National Championships at Jackson, Wyoming. Carrying the ISA colors during this ye2r's racing calendar will be Jim Gaddis, the hottest man on the nation's snows last season who'll be racing for the Sun Valley Ski Club; Dale Miller, No. 1 Junior boy last year and also favored to repeat this year, and his older brother, Allan Miller, recently graduated from Denver University, both skiing for the Snow Basin Association; Richard Groth and Lynn Johnson of the University of Utah Ski Teams; Tammy Dix, a champion from Washington skiing for the Sun Valley Ski Cluh, .1l1d Pined,IIe's K:lrCI1 Korfanta, last year's top Junior gal who's picked to take that post for the third consecutive year as well as push some of the Senior gals. Those expected to crack into this elite Senior group include Margo Walters Sun Valley Ski Club; Ladd Christensen, Alpine Training School; Lorna Miller, Snow Basin Racing Association; Marita Wetherill, University of Utah lass from back East and Dave Engen, national Junior champ from the University of Utah. The Juniors arc filled wilh vl'lt'l"ilIl compl'tilors. The gals will be h,d by Karen KorfiinUl, who won il third ill Kalispell. She'll be pushed by youthful Peggy Goddard, Snow Basin Racing Association; Glenda Driskell and Linda Bircher Jackson Hole Ski Club, and Fea Jacobsen, KIFI Ski Club. All are returning from last year's team. The only loss is Darlene Despain, Jackson Hole Ski Club, who (Continued on Page 5.) 1962 ISA Junior National Team L. to R, Back Row: Girl's Coach Earl Miller, John Miller, Charles McWilliams, Chips Barlow, Dale Miller, Mike Kiro!.

Overhead pull out •• Public school education has come a long way -- in our time -- from those days when all the girls wore crinoline and McGuffey produced a best seller called the First Reader. Improvements in plants and program have kept pace with the nation's progress; wellrounded students are the end product. Social studies have moved to the fore, mathematics is keeping pace (though not at the rate recommended by Admiral Rickover), and sports programs are designed to serve all interests. Well: ALMOST all interests. \ve, in the Intermountain Ski Association fell there is an important need still unfulfilled, a vital program still lacking. We're speaking, of course, of organized, school-sanctioned ski programs -- with the wonderful benefits they can produce in sportsmanship, in physical fitness, in safety, in education of the outdoors, and in citizenship. Most important is the benefit of a sporting activity that can be carried through to adulthood. Skiing, unlike most popular school sports, is a family participation activity. We feel strongly that such a program has much to offer. Ive are, in fact, working on such a program right now. Our hopes are high. We'll let you know the results.

With only one graduation from last year's team and some notable additions, they will be as strong and maybe even stronger in competitive circles, than last year. Plans are now being finalized for the up-coming ISA Ski Club Championships at Solitude and ATS figures to have two strong teams entered in the event that they are sponsoring. Linda Meyers, 1962 FIS team member, has been working out with the ATS all fall and has been a welcome addition. ATS was also recently pleased to have Jean Hanna~, also a FIS member, work out with them on the slopes. With the racing season about to start, you can be sure the Alpine Training School will be heard from in the results. ~ .. ".{:\I,'~~'~ . '1i'~'~ .'. 'Pi.'" jH':' .f . ri'·h 'It' ~ .!

Club officials state the course will start under the cliff in the Sun Spot region, run down over the Saddle, through the Race Course meadow, over the Snow Cup Pass, into Nina Curve, across the ridge and down Shuss Gulch to the finish just above the lower Collins lift terminal. A great deal of the course will be visable from the lodges alld the pnrking lot, IlS well as from vantage points along the course. Lodging for out-of-state competitors has been arranged for at the Alta, Peruvian, and Rustler Lodges for Friday and Saturday and lift passes will be given to all racers Saturday and Sunday.

Chief of Course, Mel Dalebout invites all interested individuals to help foot pack the course. He said that footpackers would be given a free day pass on the Alta lifts.

SLIDE SHOOTER Baseball is about as far from skiing as powdered snow from powdered rosin, but the Forest Service has found a device developed for improving skill in one sport which may mean improved safety in the other. Not too long ago samc bascball manager with a staff of sorearmed pitchers had a device built to throw baseballs to batters during practice. The Fores t Service, long seeking a device to inexpensively propel an explosive to a point where it would cause a "man-made a'.'a·· lanche" and clear a slope for safe skiing, thought the compressed air baseball tosser might have practical application. The requirements were that the device should be made available commercially; should be capable of throwing a two-pound load 400 yds; Forest Service" Avalauncher" should be rugged, simple, and port-able; and should be safe to the extent of using compressed air or a non-explosive, nonflammable gas propellent. The test model "Avalauncher" consisted of a smooth bore ba.rel, a compression chamber, a quick release valve, and an adjustable mount. It fired at a high angle mortar fashion, ~~ used CO2 as a propellent, and had no concussion and no back-blast, making it safe to fire from vehicles or n('nr hlli ldillf1,~;. The C02 gas bottles and pressurc gauges are available at allY commercial gas supply agency. When the trigger is pulled, the quick release valve allows gas to expand into the barrel, driving the armed explosive charge out of the barrel at a predetermined angle. The two-minute fuse prescribed offers maximum s.1[ety to tIll' operator, who can disarm the charge quite simply in the event of a mechanical malfunction. Additionally, a second mechanical trigger is provided in case the gas trigger fails to operate properly. Tests show the Avalauncher to be a highly effective con", trol device. It is mobile, versatile, and economical. It .hould serve as a supplement to artillery now being used to knock down snow hazards. The avalauncher will be used on at least three Inter" lIOuntain areas during the coming season, John Herbert, Chief, Recreationand Lands Division, Forest Service, told the SKIER Chi. week. They are the Sun Valley Ski area in Idaho and the Ita Ski Area and the Snow Basin Ski Area, both in Utah. -11- UNDER THE SHADOW OF MT.
