FOUNDATION WHO WE ARE Home → Member School Program Member School Program 2021-2022 National-Eastern School Membership Program MEMBER SCHOOL RENEWAL:1. Watch this video to learn how to navigate in the new SNOWSPORTS SCHOOL portal.2. WHEN AVAILABLE, please log in to your SNOWSPORTS SCHOOL account (details e-mailed to directors in September) IMPORTANT: In order to be approved as a PSIA-AASI Member School you must be based at and affiliated with a snowsports resort OR provide documentation that indicates you have permission to teach at that resort. No exceptions. In the 2019-20 season, we invited snowsports schools to become a National-Eastern PSIA-AASI Member School with a “three tier” option for membership. Each tier adds more benefits (e.g. Snowsports Seminar registration, Eastern Ed Staff training days) for your school and your instructors. In the 2020-21 season we still offered the National and Eastern Member School Program, however only while providing the basic membership option. Our goal with this program is to continue to support you as our key partners — the resorts and schools throughout the Eastern Division. When you join or renew your partnership investment this year, you’ll gain access to more education and training tools than ever before – all geared to help you recruit, retain, and train snowsports instructors who will be able to deliver that great guest experience to the folks who visit your area. We once again have THREE options and tier levels of membership to choose from; all are content and benefit-rich and designed to help you fulfill your potential and maximize your partnership with PSIA and AASI. Check out the options below, make the choice that best fits your needs and budget and sign up today – some of the benefits are schedule-sensitive so the sooner you respond the better chance we have to lock down your training requests! PSIA-AASI Member School, Eastern Division – Tier 1 Cost: $150 ($90 to National; $60 to Eastern) Adaptive schools only: $125 ($90 to National; $35 to Eastern) PSIA-AASI Eastern Division Member School Benefits to include: “50 for 50” Education Dollars Reward Program for Hosting Events: For every 50 lift tickets we use from your school and resort for Eastern events, we will reward you with $50 in “education bucks” that you can redeem in the following season for distribution to members of your school staff. This will help in subsidizing their Snowsports education development via attendance at Level II preps, pre-reqs and exams. Other event types need approval from the Eastern Division Director of Education. Your school can also post unlimited job postings at no charge on PSIA-AASI’s Job Board.
