Pat Swenson .is working , on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week. We hav.e a' telephone answering service to take calls when Pat is not in the office. Enclosed is a financial statement for the period of October 1, 1970 to November 10, 1970. You will notice that all 'of the known debts have been paid. The financial books are in the hands ·of louis'Tannebaumin Salt Lake who is bringing them up to date as of July 1,1970. Upon completion, he will send them to the off; ceo We. w;l 1 then hi re a CPA in Denver to audi t the books. The property belonging to PSIA arrived in Denver on October 23, 1970. Since that time, we have been busy sorting through the files and trying tQ establish general office practices and procedures. We received approximately 1,100 soft-bound manuals from Salt lake. Since the new manual has been published we will sell the old ones at a reduced price of $4.00. . The following list of house-keeping duties must be.done ·as ·soon as possible: 1) Financial records must be established, 2) A mailing must be made to the membership, 3) Mailing lists must be up-dated, 4) Supplies must be ordered, 5) An inventory must be taken for the audit, 6) Ski schools must be solicited for memberships, 7) Correspondence must be answered, 8) Old manuals must be sold, if possible, 9) Fill orders for passbooks, 10) ' ~1ember­ship cards must be filled in and sent, 11) Orders for pins, patches, decals, etc. must be processed, 12) Keep up with the general office procedures. At the time Pat Swenson was hired to open the office for us, she agreed to work only 3 or 4 months on a part time basis. We have come to a point whete we need to be breaking in a replacement for Pat as well as additional help is needed in the office at this time. This has led us to hire, on a trail basis, a young man by the name of Dennis Sanford. Dennis is a member of the PSIA, having been certified in the East. He is a 26 year old business major at the University of Denver. He will work for us 6 hours a day, S'days ~ week at a PSIA BOARD OF DIRECTORS -2- November 11, 1970 starting salary of $2.25 an hour. He has accounting experience for several large firms. If this arrangement works out as well as we think it will, Dennis will be able to run the office with some part time office help at such time Pat decides she must leave. We will have a much better feel at the Board of Directors meeting and the Board can make a decision at that time. ~nc. PROFESSIONAL SKI INSTRUCTORS OF AMERICA, INC.

The following summary primarily deals with equipment and budgets as they stand at this date. Generally, I feel we are in good shape on the Team activities and I have remained in correspondence with the members through the month. As the time is fast approaching training dates, we are organizing :our schedules accordingly and have received good cooperation from the manufacturers granted bids. We are looking forward to a successful venture and with the cooperation from the team and board members, we will have a good showing. Respectfully, Rene' Farwig INTERSKI Coach PROMOTION: 9TH INTERSKI COACHES REPORT NOVEMBER 28, 1970 PAGE: 2 A composite picture was sent to the Main Office piior to the 1st of November for distribution to the news media for news releases. As of this date, we have had no coverage from this information in any of the skiing publications. I would recommend that we submit this as soon as possible so as to be printed prior to our departure for Europe. EQUIPMENT & CLOTHING: A size chart was sent to all members of the team and a schedule of equipment & clothing sizes were made on receipt of the information, see copy enclosed. liember sizes were sent to the appropriate equipment manu­facturers with my recommendation that the merchandise be shipped directly to the members for trial prior to January training. Manufacturers in receipt were: K-2 Company, Edelweiss, Shingler, and Lange Boot Co. On November 19th and 20th, I had meetings with Edelweiss and Shingler for the design of the team uniform. They advised that the clothing will be ready by the end of December for distribution to the team in January. I have been in phone contact with Dr. Spademann and subsequent conversation with Bill Lenihan regarding the team use of the Spademann binding. Their engineers are presently reviewing the release mechanism of the binding to prevent premature release during jetting maneuvers. Depending on the commitments with other manufacturers, I would like to recommend to the Board to give consideration to the limited use of the binding as it is relatively new and of American manu­facture. -- TRAINING SCHEDULES: The training schedules stand as reported October 15, 1970. RESERVATIONS: A list of participating members has been requested from the Team members. We are in receipt of reservation cards from Congress headquarters and these will be completed and sent to the Congress office. G.L.M. DEMONSTRATION: 9TH INTERSKI COACHES REPORT NOVEMBER 28, 1970 PAGE: 3 November 14th, I had a meeting with Mr. Cliff Taylor, Coordinator for the GLM Demonstration. We completed the format for the demonstration and submitted it to Paul Valar to forward to the Congress. The presentation will be 30 minutes in length and Mr. Taylor will be present at Mt. Hood Meadows during the team training to coordinate the demonstration on GLM with the team members. TEAM DEMONSTRATION: On snow demonstration outline has been completed and submitted to the Congress in German, French, and English, to comply with the deadline of December 1st. Copy is enclosed.

Killington has introduc ed a new method of ski instruction which they feel is the fastest and easiest way to learn. Under this system the beginner starts off an a pair of 39-inch skis, short and easy to handle from the start. When the novice has mastered these, he maves on to a longer pair of skis. Short skis are not the whole thing - the Accelerated Method includes film instruction, a blackboard session and a complete theory on the use of ski poles. There are three types of sessi ons to choose from: u full 7-day week plan, a 5-day midweek plan and a 2-day weekend plan. For more information please write Foster Chandler, 626 Killington Road, Killington, Vermont 05751. SKI ME. ASSOCIATION ISSUES ALL-AREA PASS. The Ski Me .

Billy Kidd, Egon Zimmerman, Stein Erikson and Adrian Duvillard, all Olympic medal winners, are amang the 80 racers who nave signed up with the association. As with the pro golf tour, qualification trials will be held before each race to determine the 16 finalists who will race in poirs over similar side-by-side slalom courses. The winners of the dual course heats will be determined by total time on two runs. The schedule is as follows: Jan. 2-3 Jan. 8-10 Jan. 14-16 Jan. 22-24 Jan. 29-31 Blumont, Buffalo, N.Y.

FROM THE PROFESSIONAL SKI INSTRUCTORS OF AMERICA JUDGE JIMMY JOHNSTON, PRESIDENT Judge Jimmy Johnston, President of Professional Ski Instructors of America, recently wrote a report to the membership of PSIA, stating the goals and aims of the ski instructor in America. Excerpts from this report are quoted below. (Ed. note: Former President Willy Scho effler announced to the board that he had found that his position of head coach of the U. S. Ski Team p-ecluded his p-esidency of PSIA.) PSIA's biggest challenge li es in the field of PJblicity and PJblic relations. Will it ever be possible to convince editors and writers of national PJblications that PSIA should be encouraged and helped? Some strange quirk of fate continues to engulf the p-ofessional ski instructors as a band of meaningless egotists who live and make enormouS amounts of money by their wits. How can it possibly be that the question is: "'Do I neIJd ski lessons by a certified instructor or can I just figure out how to ski by myself?" In my opinion, we are failing to cre'lte an atmas~ere in the sport of skiing that there is no alternative. Every professional ski instructor ~st PJt his every effort to those two p-opostions: A. A beginning skier cannot ski without lessons. B. Askier must take periodic ski lessons to imp-ove and enjoy. No question, the national level is where our greatest need for fast growth lies. The Korvette licensing agreement mayor may not have been a mistake. (Agreement ends after this season.) On the plus side, it has brought interest from members of the Ski Industries of America, but personally I have always felt we should look outside of the immediate ski industry for financing if such is needed in the future. What is important on a national scal e is that we are now working tog ether. Several professional PR people have been engaged to bring the message of the ski teaching profession to the PJblic. It will be through every means of communication available: TV, radio, newspapers, manufacturers, shop;, and yes, even fill-in copy for your local small town or suburban popers. The opportunities -are limitless. Cowles Press has done an outstanding job in PJblishing "'The Official American Ski Technique". It is beautifully bound with i mp-oved copy, new sections and has been rearranged. It is a real credit to our profession-a bosic reference that every p-ofessional ski instructor must have. Every effort is being mode to make this book easily available to th~ p.lblic in every bookstore and shop across the country. Committees are already hard to work to stage our North American Ski Instructors Congress at Vail the week of April 19th. Rocky fvAtountain Division, Jim Riley, Chairman, was an excellenthost last year and this year the event will be a part of PSIA's national effort. ThesE' are lust a -few-ofthe f'h.ings that are being done nationally. N ever before in this country has there been a greater desire on the part of divisions ond instructors from all parts of the ;, country to bond togethE!f" and work wi th one another. This coming season there will be not only imp-oved communication, but each division has grown to the point where we are ready to move strongly forward with national committees in the areas of certification, technique, methods, coachlng, '. communications, PJblic relations, ski school operation, ski shop orientation and ski area p-omotion, just to name a few. 1971 SKI INDUSTRIES AMERICA AND WNSRA TRADE SHOW DATES MARCH 12-15 MARCH 20-24 MARCH 28-APRIL 1 APRIL 4-8 APRIL 11- 15 APRIL 18-22 SIA Chicago Trode Show SIA Los Ange les Trade Show WWSf1.A Denver Trade Show SIA New York Trode Show WWSf1.A Seattle T rode Show WWSRA San Froncisco Trode Show McCormick Place Amba ssador Hotel Merchandise Mart Stotler Hilton Hotel Olympic Hotel Thunderbolt Motel ~. The 1970-71 ski season has started with snow fall ing from Sugarloaf, tv\::tine, to tv\::tmmoth tv\::tuntain, Cal ifomia. Where nature hasn't p-ovided, snow mochines have helped, particularly in our eastern metropalitan areas. Ski shop; are bur.;ting with merchandise and hope for a snowy Christmos selling season to get their wares off the shelves and onto the slopes. Reparts indicate unusual enthusiasm, good crowds and a sfXJrt in retail sales which will hopefully mean you'll have a good season in all ways. # , , , # # While racing is only one segment of the ski picture, it is an impartant part of skiing in this country. It p-ovides a testing ground for equipment, a showcase for skiing and has been the training ground for a high percentage of the leaders in all phases ci the ski industry. The U. S. Ski Team member.; serve as your ambassador.; for the ski spart in foreign countries. This U. S. Ski Team is definitely new - a new p-ogram director Willy Schaeffler and mony new faces among the com­petitor.;. The spirit and dedication was imp- essive as demonstrated at the Winterstart Races in Vail and the team looks forward to the World Cup Competitions now starting in Europe and the Can-Am Races in North America. Before leaving with the team for Europe, Willy Schaeffler said:'We'lI do well." Coming from the most successful college ski coach ever - this is most encouraging. Now is the app-opriate time for a holiday gift to the U. S.

Other Introduction to the American Ski Technique The American Ski Technique is based on the following principles: 1. Natural positioning 2. Total motion 3. Unweighting 4. Axial motion 5. Edge control 6. Weight transfer 7. Leverage The basic principles: Natural positioning: This considers the relation of the human anatomy to balance under normal conditions on skis. The skeleton carries the weight of the body rather than the muscles of the legs. The skier should be relaxed at all times. Total motion: Total motion implies that muscle action is a product of the entire body. Body motion should be continuous throughout the maneuver. Movements may be divided into components for descriptive purposes, Unweighting: The reduction or elimination of the skiers weight on the snow. Axial motion: Motion about the body axis. Edge control: The adjustment of the angle between the skis running surface and the snow. Weight transfer: A movement of weight toward one ski. Leverage: The effect of the skiers weight forward or back of center of the skis. Skitechnical terms: Turning: Changing direction on skis. Turning forces: Gravity and resistance. Initiation of turns: a) Stemming (placing one ski at an angle to direction of descent and transferring weight) b) Hopping (complete unweighting and abrupt displacement of the ski tails) c) A forward or backward lean in the traverse (leverage) d) A circular motion of the body (axial motion) e) Stepping around f) Changes in terrain Outside ski: The ski describing the outside arc of a turn. Types of a) b) c) d) unweighting: Up-unweighting - a quick extension of the body upward; an extreme lift will pro­duce a hop. Down-unweighting - a flexion of the body by quickly bending at the knees, ankles, hips and waist. Rebound-retraction (temporary relaxation of the legs) Use of terrain. Fall-line: The shortest line down a slope or the line a freely moving body would follow if influenced only by gravity. The falline is referenced to the skiers immediate location. 2- Introduction to American Ski Technique Rotary hee1thrust: The displacement of the ski tails by down motion and turning of the 1egso Counter motion: Gradual motion around the vertical axis of the body opposite the direc­tion of the turn to maintain natural positioning" Counter rotation: A quick turning motion in one part of the body resulting in a counter action in another when resistance is markedly reduced. Rising motion: Relatively slow rising. resulting in change of body position - it is not used for the purpose of unweighting - it in fact temporarily increases the weighting of the skis. Sinking motion: A slow down-motion used as a preparation for an up or rising motion., Angulation: This is the leaning away from the slope with the upper body 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. 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: L Controlled by forward or backward lean (leverage:,. 2. Moving one ski at an angle to direction of travel 3. Axial motion 4. Transferring weight 5. Edging Method: The procedure or way of teaching; the manner used in working toward the demon­stration forms 0 Plowing: Simultaneous stemming of both skis. SteIT'JIling: Lateral displacement of one ski tail. Stem christie: A christie turn initiated by stemming one skL Parallel christie: A turn executed with both feet together and parallel at all times. Rotation: A motion around the vertical axis of the body in the direction of the turn. Forward lean: A body position placing the center of gravity ahead of the ball of the feeto Backward lean: Body pas ition p lacing the center of gravity of the skier behi nd the ball of the feet. Traverse: Descent at an angle to fa11ine. Ski position: Relative position of one ski to the other; closed, opened, stemmed or advanced. Steering action: To maneuver by: a) ski position and weight transfer b) leverage Technique: a) The manner in which technical details are treated or used in accomplishing a desired aim., b) A ski teaching system. Camber: a) Side b) Bottom Curve in ski contour from tip to tail.
