03.14.22: PSIA-AASI 60th Anniversary Part 6: Building the Learning Connection
When PSIA’s seven founders sat down to form the Professional Ski Instructors of America in May 1961 at Big Mountain in Whitefish, Montana, they had one goal: to create a standard of consistency for ski instruction that it would help draw new participants to the sport from across the nation. Now, six decades later, PSIA-AASI teaches everyone how to enjoy more than just alpine skiing; welcoming every snowsports discipline, ability, and person. In part six of this six-part series, listen to Eric Rolls & Matt Boyd discuss what it was like to build the Learning Connection, one of the six of the most notable teaching benchmarks from the past 60 years. Learn how this was the first completely holistic view of snowsports instruction focusing on every aspect—teaching, technical, and people skills—of a lesson.
