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 five of this six-part series, listen to Bill Bowness, Katherine Rodriguez Hayes, and Beth Fox, discuss what it was like to pioneer adaptive instruction, one of the six of the most notable teaching benchmarks from the past 60 years. Learn about how adaptive instructors and students now have a technical blueprint specific to their need, and why it’s important to celebrate teaching to every enthusiast.
