THE NATIONAL TEAM PROJECT

Ensuring we remain the best of the best.

The National Team sets the standard for snowsports instruction and embodies the ski and snowboard experience. They represent the best of the best in ski instruction across all disciplines. In their role, they advance best-practices to instructors at all member resorts with a range of skills that allow them to serve as inspirational leaders.

The National Team Project (NTP) is not only designed as a fundraising campaign to provide increased financial support for the team’s efforts, but to also build a structure and time commitment that will allow the national team to positively impact PSIA-AASI’s broader membership.

This includes 100 more days for National Team Members to visit member schools and instructors, and more education videos for team members.
