There’s still time to join the Member Forum: Candi There’s still time to join the Member Forum: Candidate Town Hall 👋 This is your chance to hear directly from the candidates—why they’re running, what they stand for, and how they see the future of our association. 🗣️ What to expect • A moderated Town Hall led by the Board’s Election Committee • Candidates sharing their vision and priorities • Questions from key stakeholder groups and live Q&A with attendees 🆕 New this year: public member endorsements All members can choose to show support in a professional, optional way. It’s about transparency, access, and giving members a stronger voice—not deciding the election. 🗳️ How it works ✔️ Attend the full Town Hall ✔️ At the end, a Zoom poll opens for each candidate ✔️ Vote Yes to endorse or No to pass (one vote per candidate) ✔️ Results are instant—majority Yes earns the endorsement 📅 Registration closes January 29 If you care about leadership, alignment, and where we’re headed—this forum matters. See you there. https://tinyurl.com/MembersForum #PurposeDriven #MemberForum #PSIAAASI
Happy Wednesday from the bunny hill at Sierra-at-T Happy Wednesday from the bunny hill at Sierra-at-Tahoe! This morning, Phoenix is teaching first-timers, getting them comfortable with their equipment, finding balance, and soon enough, gliding on snow! 😃 But it’s more than mechanics. She’s giving her guests a first taste of confidence on skis! They belong, too. That first slide matters. It’s where nerves turn into smiles and curiosity turns into stoke. This is how lifelong skiers and riders begin—one thoughtful, patient, human connection at a time. ❤️ @phoenixhunter017 #snowpros #skiingislife #skiinstructor #sierraattahoe
Great day out on snow with T.S. Amer, Randy Humphr Great day out on snow with T.S. Amer, Randy Humphreys, Jackson McGinnis, and a solid crew of new instructors getting after it in this clinic! Nice work to everyone who showed up ready to learn, ask questions, and push a little further 💪 #onsnowclinic #psiaaasi #psiaaasiwest
Strong turns. Solid coaching. Good vibes all aroun Strong turns. Solid coaching. Good vibes all around. These on-snow moments come from Patrick Harrington, out working with instructors across disciplines. #thesnowpros #snowpros #psiaaasi #psiaaasiwest #snowsports
Bear Valley is Care Valley ❄️ @bearvalleyresort Bear Valley is Care Valley ❄️ @bearvalleyresort Teaching kids. Building community. Having fun along the way. These shots come from a training clinic focused on teaching children—where teamwork mattered just as much as technique. From snow-person teamwork to focused on-snow moments, this is what learning together looks like. Led by Emily Kay and shared by Rick Rivera—thanks for helping us showcase the heart of our membership. 📸 Want to share the stoke?
