National Academy Scholarships
From A.J. Oliver
PSIA-AASI National Academy Scholarships!
The season is moving quickly and spring will be here before we know it! With that in mind, it is time to think about spring educational opportunities and National Academy! It's back at Big Sky this season, April 17-22nd, and we are very excited to host instructors from around the country!
This unique nationwide event includes options for the majority of disciplines (Snowboard, Alpine, Telemark, and Adaptive). This is your opportunity to ski with the PSIA-ASSI National Team and other PSIA-ASSI members from around the nation. You will be able to meet and network with instructors from different divisions and learn how PSIA-ASSI operates on a national scale. If you would like more information about the event, please reach out to a training supervisor and check out the link below.
