REPORT Nati01:al Acade~ - The Professional Ski In­structors of America will hold its third annual National Training Acade~y at the Grand Targhee Ski area. The dates of the session will be April 30th through May 9th. and the tuition fee will be $300.00. The fee includes room, meals, lifts, and complete study materials. The program will present business principles, technical principles of many countries, Bio-mechanics, psychology of teaching, Alpine racing principles, free skiing improvement, and association with the lnterski Team. Application requiremenLs are as follows: 1. Must be a member in good standing with the I.S.I.A. Division and P.S.I.A. 2. Fully Certified. 3. Completed application with three letters of recom­mendation including one from applicant's ski school director. NO. 2 4. Doctor's certificate of good health. 5. $300.00 fee. I.S.I.A. will accept any number of applications, but will be limited to approximately 10 accepted participants. Annual Meeting - The annual P.S.I.A. meet­ing will be held April 14-17 at Mammoth Mountai.n in con­junction with the F.W.S.I.A. clinic and meeting. They will offer programs in: 1. Development of modern teach­ing progression 2. Understanding skiing 3. Basic freestyle 4. Basic racing 5. Improving your skiing Glove Offer - P.S.l.A. will offer a glove program to all members of the associatio,: this coming season. A contract has been completed with Aris Glove Com­pany and they will offer three choices: A down filled mitten, a racing glove, and a long cuff glove. These gloves and mittens will be constructed to P.S.I.A. specifications with extra leather on the palm and finger to guard against wear. Alum­inum foil insulation in ,3.ddi­tion to the fiberfill has also been added. These mit­tens will be offered at one half the retail price. Order forms will be sent to each member at a later date. New Manual - The new P.S.I.A. Technical Manual has been mailed free to all certified a~d associate ski ins~ructors belonging to the P.S.I.A. If you haven't received your manual, please request one from the I.S.I.A. secretary, Bonnie Pond. The manual is also available to apprentice or registered members at a cost of $3.00 per copy. The changes are somewhat minor on a sequence standpoint, but the newly emphasized skill concept is very interesting and enlightening. These were incorporated into the pre­sentation of our demo team at lnterski which drew much in­terest from the other countries. Honorary MembershiD - President Fora was pre­sented with an Honorary Member­ship in P.S.I.A. which he ac­cepted in Vail, Colorado on his ski vacation. Interski - The P.S.I.A. demonstra­tion at Interski in Czecho­slovakia this year was a great success with the Ameri­can team stealing the show with their prese~tation of the skill concept of teaching and relationshipt0 excellent progress. They also demon­strated the fun derived in skiing and teachinc;. A com­prehensive report will be pubLshed by coach Max Lundberg soon. On their return to the United States, the Demo team was presented with the key to New York City and a declaration was made in New York proclaim­ing that oay as National Demon­stration Team Day. They also met with actor Robert Redford on the set of his new movie. The trip was highlighted by an informal neeting with President Ford in the oval office of the White House to report to him on the Interski successes and how the United StaLes Team was acc.~pted by the communist people in Czechoslovakia and to further ski relations with the government. The I.S.I.A. is represented in P.S.I.A. by Keith Lange, President of P.S.I.A.; Max Lund­berg, coach of Lhe Interski team; Chris Ryman, Jerry Warren, Gene Christiansen, members of the National Demonstration team.

HOOD MEADOWS, JIM HINMAN, PORTLAND, MAINE. 10th Interski Skills Development The Tenth International Congress of Ski Instructors was significant not because of rev­olutionary ideas about teaching, but because of an obvious re­turn to simple basic concepts. Stance, economy of motion, con­servat. i on of energy and balance were topics considered by all participating nations. The United States Demon­stration Team stressed the American Teaching Method. Em­phasis was placed on the devel­opment of skills and their re­finement as the basis of safe and efficient skiing. A ski instructor teaching the Ameri­can Method is obligated to help the student acquire new skills rather than perfect maneuvers. Low form ski activities have great significance for the teacher and his student when both recognize the skills being developed. Basic walk­ing steps initiate the skills to selectively weight and un­weight the ski, to steer the ski through rotation of the leg, to engage and disengage the edge, to plant the pole, and to balance on the ski using the limbs to support an athletic stance. The earliest skiing activities encourage the development of all necessary skiing skills including a kinesthetic sense or awareness of the body and its relationship to equip­ment, terrain and climatic conditions. Skills development is like the building of a pyramid. Initially the building blocks or skill can be easily separ­ated and identified. As the pyramid grows and becomes more complicated, the "skills building blocks" fit tighter together becoming harder to identify on individual merit. Each basic skill is required as we advance from one level of ability to the next. Our demonstration em­phasized the development of edge control, un-weighting, weight transfer, pole plant, balance, terrain, and kines­thetic sense skills. The only limitation an instructor need experience in the de­velopment of these and other related skills is the limita­tion of his own imagination and inventiveness. Ultimate skill develop­ment is the top of our skiing pyramid. Interski is a tool that is used in the acquisition of new skills and the develop­ment of a more progressive teaching philosophy. I look forward to telling you about our experiences when we meet at Targhee.

Stemming, skating, and grip­ping steps give the student a variety of experiences which will help to advance his skill level. These types of independent leg action introduce the skier to more dynamic edge control, weight transfer, and balance. They also let him experience total motion to a much greater degree than in standard par­allel turns. In spite of our efforts, the parallel turn will probably remain the most popular turn and the goal of most skiers for years to come. Even with this in mind the advancement in the students skiing ability will benefit from exploring new movements and even their parallel turns will be more efficient and dynamic.

Night Clinic Jim Tedford Park City's night lit Payday run was the site of this winters I.S.I.A. night clinic program. The weather and occasional lift stop­pages did their best to turn it into a "Get Cold" program. The instructors who particip­ated were kept hot by the sessions taught by some of I.S.I.A. 's finest. A top of the "Mountain Lid" to Bob Parker and Duane Vigos whose time and talents kept the whole affair running like clockwork. (Bob and Duane had nothing to do with that 25 minute lift stoppage during the final session.) There were groups taught in the following areas: A.T.M., class handling, dem­onstrations, error recognition and correction, racing, free skiing, and cross-country. The I.S.I.A. would like to thank all those members who participated; both as instructors and as instructees in the three sessions. Allen Ti tensor SKI POINTERS I.S.I.A. instructors Ski pointers published in Ski Magazine are traditionally the most popular features in every issue. This year sub­mit your own helpful tips - - ones you use each day in class that seem to "work" for many of your students. Or, single out a common problem and tell how you help skiers improve. Pointers should be very spec­ific and focus on only a single aspect of skiing. For each pointer published, SKI Magazine will pay $25.00. Please send pointers to SKI Magazine, Editorial Dept., 380 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017 before March 20, 1975. Refer to recent issues of SKI Magazine as a guide to format. Barbara Wicks Freestyle Clinic at Beaver Mtn. Under the expert tutoring of Steve Bagley - Park City -, 10 hardworking instructors fell down a lot while attempting to execute 360's, Royal Chris­ties, Helicopters, Javelins, and many more ski maneuvers on~ the slopes of Beaver Mountain one cold but sunny Saturday, March 29~th. The smoothly prepared hills were full of craters after the ballet class had passed through, and one of the skiing public, while picking himself up off the snow after a fall, was overheard saying, "I'd better quit falling, or people will think I'm in the ballet class!" The general feeling of the class after the hard \<lork was over was one of en­thusiasm, and that it had been immensely fun as well as a worthwhile learning experience. It was only regretable that not more instructors availed them­selves of this opportunity to learn some of the basic maneuvers in this fast grow­ing section of our sport. Thanks go to Bob Parker for organizing the clinic, and to Steve Bagley for show­ing us all those maneuvers. We may not be able to execute them as beautifully as he does, but we'll hang in there trying! Sofie Hamilton Snow B&sin P.S.LA. REPORT Promark - Aris soon - one time special offer. 7.

We congratulate all those who participated and feel that special con­gratulations should go to Jim Tedford who spearheaded the program in his usual efficient and enthusiastic way. Few know the many hours he has spent and the devotion he has shown to this program. It has a far better start than we had even hoped for. Thanks Jim. Alpine Certification has been moving at a very fast pace as has been the case in the past years and a special thanks is extended to Robin Locke for his efficient ad­ministration of the program. His ideas and handling of certification as Chief Exam­iner are the primary reasons for its success this year. As the year is fast draw­ing to a close, we also wish to thank all who have partici­pated in any way in the cer­tification program this year. We would also again extend an invitation to all members for any criticisms and sug­gestions to help improve the program in coming year. ':(6" '" don't think he's quite ready yet . ... " Administrative Veep Report As Administrative Veep of your Association, I'd like to write and advise you of a problem that the majority of you are probably unaware of but with regard to which all of you can help. Reports reach this office occasionally that some members of the Di­vision are guilty of "scabing", i.e. teaching in an area for money without prior clearance with the area Ski School Direc-tor. Ethical considerations aside, it is my feeling as an officer of the Association that overlooking the courtesy of making a prior contact with the appropriate Ski School Director for clearance is un­conscienable. This fully be­comes stronger when you realize that in some instances the of­fending instructor may have been granted the privilege of a discount on his lift ticket while at the area. While this office is with­out any real facts as to how widespread this practice may be and we hope it is in fact non-existant, still enough complaints have been made to justify this article. We'd appreciate your help in this matter. Edwin J. Pond Admin. Veep Ski School Directors (orner- Back to Basics During the past decade, we have seen tremendous changes in skiing. We have seen a multitude of extremes such as strong vertical move­ments, extreme rotation (Projection Circulaire), coun­ter rotation, tail thrusting, sitting back and headbobbing as forms of exaggerated down un­weighting. All of these are fads and styles adopted by skiers as they have attempted to emulate whichever idol they have chosen. It is my opinion that we as professional ski teachers must bear a heavy measure of responsibility for many of these inadequate and inaccur­ate interpretations. We have in most cases done little to accurately define and describe in an understandable and unified manner the dynamics of good skiers as they really occurred. In many cases, we have adopted and perpetuated some of these new ways to such a degree as to actually teach the latest fad because of the short term market these extremes usually provide. Our most recent affliction, that of too short skis tail thrusted t.hrough violent short turns, presents an ominous challenge to the entire ski industry. The system of learning to ski on short and progressively longer skis has undoubtedly been the major contributor to the 20 percent yearly growth we have experienced. This kind of growth has since dis­appeared and evidence mounts that the high cost of skiing is a major factor in this atrophy. The escalating costs of equipment and huge operation budgets now necessary co con­trol terrain to the paiL', that the average skier can com~ ,rt­ably negotiate is tremendou~. Many popular runs become un­skiable tc the average guest in a matter of one or two hours. It is, therefore, obvious that the industry must be spared further excesses if it is to survive and prosper. Through all of these ex­tremes, the really good skiers were still merely balancing on and riding skis through clean round turns, both long and short in radius. If our' way of life is to survive, we must take the lead in describ-ing skiing in simple enough terms so as to reach more of the masses. We must define correct principles in such a way as to make skiers want to adopt them. We must get back to basics. Gene Palmer Food for Thought In the last issue of the Newsletter, I was bemoaning the fact that after two years of "Communications" I had re­ceived not one piece of mail from the I.S.I.A. membership. That has now changed. Mr. Bill Briggs of Teton skiing fame sent me two letters to which I have responded and now I feel some of his comments should be passed along to you. The general theme from Bill was, "It has done absol­utely no good to write or try to communicate because of the "vested interests'." I feel Bill has a point, but disagree with the reason why no results have been noted from past communicating efforts. To explain further, let's look at our profession and realis­tically analyze why each serious technician such as Bill Briggs cannot get their thoughts into manual or Newsletter form for the rest of us to digest. First, and instruction in a state of change and controversy. To further illustrate this ~oint, I quote from one of Bill s copywrited bulletins. "There is NO one correct way to ski despite what many promoters have tauted for so many years. Just con­sider how boring it would be experiencing the exact same sensation for every turn. For­tunately, turns in skiing are very seldom identical. Instead, incredible compensations are continually employed according to how it 'feels', these may be extremely simple where con­sidered independently, yet, extremely complex when combined with many other actions. Such is the charm of the sport of downhill skiing." Thank you, Bill, for some fine thoughts and I'll continue to do whatever can be done to get ideas diseminated within the membership, but the only way to get all ideas out to everyone is to follow the route of George Joubert and Jean Vaurnet and publish a book. Acceptance, even then, is a partial thing. See you all at Targhee.

Axial Motion is a movement of the sk~, or forces applied to the ski by the skier about the vertical axis. The vertical axis runs vertically through the ski and boot shaft. While it is possible to imagine twisting the ski about some other vertical axis (such as at the tip or tail), it is simpler to allow only one vertical axis at the point where the skier can exert forces un the ski (i.e., at the boot), and describe other movements as combina­tions of Basic Principles. For example, the stemming of a ski is an axial movement of the ski, combined with a lat­eral movement (see below). 3. Levera~e is a movement of the ski, ororces applied to the ski by the skier along the longitudinal axis. The simplest example of Longitud­inal Motion is simply the sliding of the skis down a slope: but, of course, Lon­gitudinal Motion can be im­parted to the skis by pushing forward or back on the poles, shoving the skis forward or back in relation to the body, etc. 5. Vertical Motion is a movement of the sk~, or forces applied to the ski by the skier along the vertical axis. Un­weighting is a form of Vertical Motion. 6. Lateral Motion is a movement of the-Skr~ forces applied to the skt by the skier along the transverse axis. Skating, stemming, lateral pro­jection, sidestepping, and the spread eagle are all maneuvers which make use of Lateral Motion. 7. wei~ht Transfer is the transfer of own ward vertical forces from one ski to the other. While Weight Transfer is really a form of Vertical Motion, it is quite a specialized form, and one which is so useful in skiing that it merits the status of a Basic Principle. S. Efficiency is the criterion of least amount of effort and continuity of skiing; it is used to choose which of the first seven Basic Principles will be employed in a given maneuver, as well as to decide among the various body movements which can affect them. There are seven movements or forces which can be applied to the skis, and many ways of apiJly­ing each one of them. Effic­iency is the criterion by which one can choose the iency tells the skier which of the movements or forces to use, and how to go about produc-ing them. Efficiency is the criterion by which one can choose the "best" technique. 9. Body Position refers to movemenLs or pos~t~ons asswned by a skier for the purpose of visual effect, rather than to accomplish any of the first eight Basic Principles. Body position is mainly the realm of the freestyler, and includes such things as the javelin position, full twisting back layouts, etc. Robert Frohboese CERTIFIED SKI TEACHER I. S. 1. A. I.SJ.A.

Today the membership is closer to 700; however, h~ remained I the organiz&tion governing the association~wKs basically the same~. ~hen a,,-..,.,t-Iter the Association was confronted with a new need, ~ committee was formed to fill the gap. As a result, the Association was being run by committee-i W dJ.. no one individual JtA,/I/1L' ~ spe1cific responsibility, and the President to be in charge of every committee. 4/)' Tm above chfiIiPS required action and the Board of Directors at the May 2, 1971 meeting directed the President to draft a reorganizational plan.Xmxsxmx The following members were assigned to the task: Clark T. P'Hkinson, Ed Pond, Lou Lorena and Fred W. Finlinson. These bjgm peopae got into more than !'! l.'" , /1 they bargained for: Stormy brainstorming sessions, reorganizational ~artCept.s and even a differences '\ philabustert~ Finally a draft was presented on August 12, 1971 to the executive committe which finally granted approval at 12:45 am. The approved draft was then prsBnted to the Board of Directors and the Ski School Directors at the summitt meeting in Burley and was approved on September 19,1971. The (eorganization ~an embodies a basic management approach; functional ana~Jsis. The functional aspects of the Association can now be allocated into four basic categories: Certificat~on, Technical, Administrative, and Communication. The organization structure of the Association, now assigns individual functions to departmentsJ departments are assigned to divisions, and divisions report directly to the President and the President reports directly to Board of Directors. Thus the President, the Chief Executive Officer, will now be able to oversee all aspects of the Association and avoid the pitfall ~ ," ':-.. of being emersed by administrati~ detail to the point that he cannot direct the total movement of the Assoiciation. - ~" The basic structure of the association is composed of : 1\ the ruf?f­general membership which elects (2) the Board of Directors who in ~ elects (3) the President. who in turn nominates for Board approva~~,~e Division Vice Presidents and Executive Secretary. who in turn nominate for Board approval. (5) Departmental assignments, who in turn nominate for Divisional approval (6) committee membership wheee necessary. The Division Vice President's are in the process of developing departmental job descriptions, xRocx~mmmiXx staffing and implementing the reorganization. The reorganization also provides the Board with access to tmome of the best wisdom in the association by the creation of Advisory Councils for the Ski School Directors and the Past Presidents. .ri:ach council illL'~ met at the Burley Summitt Conference and vigioursly supported this reorganization • ... In summary, the association has be{'reorganized on a funct ional operation . , basis,! ,,' the main operating di visionocis:,(, ~,f'1- Certification, Technical , Administrative, Ea.ehd:epartment would \:l"Sec~ttee ,-members whare'neeessary. The reorganization strentheh~g, the policy role of the Board, yet gives officers the responsibiE ty and 1J authority to executed delegated assignments. The plan provides for meaningful descriptions of each function of the Assoication and is based on the premise that each valid function should be assigned to an Assoication officer or member with the responsibility to assure the success ful completion of each function.

Definition: A proxy is a pmller of attorney given hy a shareholder tn s()rTlPOrIF~ else to exercise the voti_n& rights attached to his shares. ft is (I del('g~ti"r) of authori ty by the shareh~b der to vote hi s shares to the same ext.end t hA t_ lIe could have if present at tl-le meeting. B. Right to vote 0_proxy: I. Common Law: This was nut allowed at common law, the rationAle heirw that the right -to vote was a right of thp individual shareholder. rather tllan of the shares, and hence the ri gilt to vote could not be de Legate'li to Allot I,er. 2. Modern Statutes: Proxy voting is everywhere permitted under modern lAW re-gardless of authority therefore in the articles. Any person entitled to "(de can vote by proxy. The right to vote is deemed merely an incident t() the> shares (nothing persona L about it), and can. tlwrefore. be ass igfled h-I the> holder witll or without an actual assignment of the shares. C. Formalities: Proxy voting generally requirl's a wr_i:ti~li Signed by the sharcllnlder conferring voti ng rigbts on another-, and 1i 1 ed wi th tbe corporat ion pr i or to (Ir at the time of the meeting. D. Revocability: Like most other agency authority, a proxy is re_vCl(_Cl_ble_ at aWl time by the shareholder unless specially made irrevocable. Anrl, wlll'r" not So nnrfe ir­revocable, the proxy is effectively revoked E>ither by the shan'holder's vnittr'n notice or by the shareholder attending the meetillg himself and exer'ising the voting rights of his shares. 1.

Duration: Even where irrevocable, statutes generally lin1it Ih,' dill-Atioll ()f proxies. F. Proxy Solicitation: The solicitation of proxies by corporate mRn;rgl'ment ((Ir com­peting factions) has become till' most effective means of estrtblishillg nr rnaintflining control over the corporation.

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. Skitechnica1 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 fa11ine is referenced to the skiers immediate location. -------- 2- Introduction to American Ski Technique Rotary heelthrust: The displacement of the ski tails by down motion and turning of the legs. 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: 1. 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. Plowing: Simultaneous stemming of both skis, Stemming: Lateral displacement of one ski tail. Stem christie: A christie turn initiated by stemming one ski. 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 feet. Backward lean: Body position placing the center of gravity of the skier behind the ball of the feet, Traverse: Descent at an angle to falline. 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. BOB KENDALL Professional Program The Lange Co., P.O.

Technical Examination a. All Candidates will be scored from 12-20 points on any maneuver. b. Any Candidate under 12 points on any part of the technical examination will be automatically eliminated. A score of 16 points average will be required to pass the "Ski Coach" level of certification. c. The technical part of the examination will include any move. ments such as: 1. A free ski round on fairly difficult terrain to show ability on variation skiing. 2. The candidate will have to demonstrate the three events of Alpine racing: Slalom, Giant Slalom and Downhill. Anyone or all of these events will have to be demon­strated with actual race speed. For instance, s short downhill wi th speed ranging from 35 to 60 NPH, a slalom of 15 to 20 gates, and a giant slalom of 10 gates with speeds to 40 MPH. 3. The Candidate will be asked to demonstrate high speed straight running on a bumpy slope and to stop with a maximum effectiveness. d. The emphasis of this part of the examination will be on tech­nique and its use under all circumstances. e. All Candidates witl have to answer oral questions concerning any technical part of racing. f. Every Candidate will be required to show his ability to set slalom and giant slalom gates. g. Each Candidate will be required to prepare his skis for the examination as though he were preparing them for a race; in­cluding filing, waxing and binding check. h. Requirements of this examination may be added or changed at any time at the descretion of the certification committee. 11. ~-1ritten Examination The written examination will be the same for both Associate~ Member Ski Coach and Ski Coach. Once the Candidate has passed the exam, he will not be required to take it again. The questions for this part of the exam will come from the following sources: Page Two F.I.S. Rule Book Intermountain Junior and Senior Competition Rules Intermountain Advancement and Classification Rules 111. Video Tape Review Examination Causations, error recognition and correctional exercises to be viewed from action competition tapes. The certification committee recommends that all candidates study and be familiar with these sources. candidates should keep in mind that these sources are revised annually. The class room phase of the examination will be held prior to the on the snow examination. I.S.I.A.

It not only protects the ski school but also covers each instructor in the school individually and covers the ski school for the acts of each listed instructor. The insuring agreement is printed on the back side of the application~ A choice of two sets of limits of insurance are offered (see application.) The annual premiums for each plan are shown. An example of how to calculate premiums is as follm1s: Select limits of coverage desired - in which are $100,000 per person/$300,000 "A" box.

Certified and Associate Instructors are rated at the same rate. Registered Instructors are classed and rated with Non-Certified Instructors e There is no difference in charges for full-time and part--time instructors. Coverage can be extended to instructors added to the staff during the ski season. Send their names, showing who are certified, along with the listed instructor1s premium charges to the processing office. (Address listed below.) Endorsements will be issued to the policy adding the additional instructors to the covera.ge effective the date the names and premium are received by the processing office. The policy provides insu.rance protection for only the instructors listed on the policy. That is why it is important to list ALL instructors on the application. All instructors, even if not certified, are eligible for coverage if they "lork in a certified PSIA member ski school subscribing to this program. A slightly higher premium is charged for non-certified instructors. It pays to up-grade the staff. For ski schools operating independently of the ski area, a certificate of insurance will be provided upon request for use as evidence of insurance. The ski schools which are opera ted by the areas, and carry the school liability insurance under the area's liability policy, should compare the PSIA rates with the premiwns paid under the area's policyo The PSIA plan may save sub­stantial premium costs. Don't set this aside - act now - you could be paying hundreds of dollars more than necessary! The completed APPLICATION and a CHECK should be sent to the processing office as soon as possible.
