 Quick Guide to Becoming A Member

Becoming a member of PSIA-AASI (Professional Ski Instructors of America & American Association of Snowboard Instructors) is encouraged - but not required - for instructors. You will need to be a member to take exams and get certifications as well as view tons of education materials, including free digital manuals for each discipline. PSAI-AASI members also have access to some additional pro-offer programs and other benefits. You can also create a free non-member account to access some, but not all, of the education materials.

Here’s a step-by-step for becoming a member.

  1. Go to the PSIA-AASI homepage: thesnowpros.org

  2. Click on the orange “JOIN” button on the top of the page.

  3. Enter your information. We are in the Northern Rocky Mountain division/region and you can search for Big Sky Mountain Sports School.

  4. Follow the prompts to complete your account set up and pay membership dues.
