We were honored to present the 2025 Nic Fiore Awar We were honored to present the 2025 Nic Fiore Award to two incredible leaders: Kathy Copeland and Bill Teague! 🙌 A special thank you to last year’s recipient, Katherine Hayes Rodriguez, for presenting this meaningful award.

Nic Fiore found his greatest joy mentoring generations of skiers — a legacy Kathy and Bill continue with passion and grace. With a combined 84 years of service to PSIA-AASI, Mountain High, and Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra, their impact is immeasurable.

They truly embody the spirit of mentorship and dedication that Nic stood for. If you see Kathy or Bill, be sure to congratulate them! 🏅⛷️👏

Celebrating Our Ambassadors 👏🏻 *Paul Peterse Celebrating Our Ambassadors 👏🏻 *Paul Petersen* 😀
At the heart of our mountain community are the passionate individuals who live for fresh tracks, bluebird days, and sharing the stoke. Our Ambassador Program is built around these inspiring adventurers—people who not only love the sport, but actively help us grow and strengthen our community on and off the slopes.

"It was an honor to be selected as the Bear Valley Alpine Ambassador this season. We have a great staff here and keeping them engaged with PSIA is both challenging and rewarding. Also a pleasure to work with the PSIA-W linkage (Ownership Linkage Committee) folks. I look forward to next steps." — Paul Petersen, Bear Valley

« I enjoyed attending the PSIA-Western Convention with my partner, Nicole Rosin, and son, Ethan Cohen. It was our first convention. We left Mammoth with great memories, new friendships, and improved skills. Many thanks to the PSIA-W staff, volunteers, education team, and participants for a great weekend on the slopes! »
