That’s a wrap for some of us already 🩶 Short seaso That’s a wrap for some of us already 🩶 Short season… big memories. Here’s a sweet mix of skiers and snowboarders, trainees and trainers, current instructors and former instructors, photographers taking a picture and photographers getting their picture taken. 📸 Ski/snowboard inception at its finest. Grateful for every lap, every laugh, every connection. See you next season, Sierra. We’ll be back. 💪 #SierraAtTahoe #PSIAAASI #SkiLife #SnowboardLife #MountainMoments
Fresh certifications. Strong crew. Big energy. 🔥 Fresh certifications. Strong crew. Big energy. 🔥 Even if the season felt short, moments like these are what it’s all about — progression, community, and showing up. Huge congrats to this crew of new Alpine FS2 members from February’s exam 💪 Well earned, and just the beginning. 📸 Thanks to Ryan Burrow for capturing the moment Psst: don't hesitate to DMus if you want to be tagged! #PSIAAASI #PSIAWest #AlpineInstructors #SnowsportsEducation #KeepTheStoke #EarnYourTurns #SpringVibes
There’s something powerful about just showing up. There’s something powerful about just showing up. Early mornings. Nerves. That quiet moment before you click into your skis and commit to the day. This crew showed up—fully. With intention, with courage, and with a willingness to be challenged. Because that’s what this process is really about. Not just the outcome… …but the growth that happens in between turns, feedback, and pushing past your comfort zone. Some days reward you with a pin. Every day gives you progress. And that’s what we’re here for 👊 Huge respect to everyone who stepped up. That’s how strong communities—and strong instructors—are built. Thank you Bobby Garrett for leading this crew, Julie Matises for the 📸and Julietta Seirmarco for the submission ☺️ #ProfessionalDevelopment #InstructorLife #thesnowpros #snowpros #psiaaasi

#throwback Jim shared these from a Resort Trainer #throwback Jim shared these from a Resort Trainer day with Sam Buccigrossi at Palisades Tahoe — bringing together instructors from across the region, including Jay from Sky Tavern and Adam from Kirkwood.
