OUR INITIATIVES
-
SCHOLARSHIPS
The PSIA-AASI Education Foundation is dedicated to offering scholarships to support accessible training, education, and professional development for instructors.
Each season, the demand for scholarships exceeds supply. Increased funding will support new and experienced instructors alike, and foster diversity by removing financial barriers to entering the field and advancing one’s career.
-
NATIONAL TEAM PROJECT
The PSIA-AASI National Team is comprised of the top ski and snowboard instructors from across the country.
The NTP seeks to expand the reach and impact of the National Team, which is currently resource-limited. Funds will enable Team members to spend more time at member schools and on snow with instructors, and will support the Team in creating and delivering programs for instructor advancement.

SUPPORT OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS
PSIA-AASI works in partnership with eight regional partners. Each region offers local scholarships and helps members access certifications and continuing education.

In addition to the initiatives above, PSIA-AASI is thrilled to be hosting the 2027 edition of Interski, the premier global snowsports instruction gathering, April 3-10, 2027, at Vail Mountain.
PSIA-AASI will plan and manage the once-every-four-years event on behalf of our U.S. member instructors and schools. While hosting is an incredible honor, it is also an enormous responsibility with significant planning costs.
A donation supporting the hosting efforts will help us do even more to welcome the international instructor community to Colorado.
