34 years later. Full circle. ❤️ Jay's mom was the 34 years later. Full circle. ❤️

Jay's mom was the one who first introduced him to skiing.

This season, after decades away from the sport due to health challenges, she returned to the slopes—and Jay was there to guide her every turn.

Helping the person who first inspired his love of skiing rediscover the joy of being on snow became the highlight of his season.

Stories like this are why we teach.

Describe a student or moment where you saw the dir Describe a student or moment where you saw the direct impact of your training as a PSIA-AASI instructor -> 
For Victor Ybiernas, it was a phone call.
Years after helping a fellow supervisor achieve his Alpine Level II certification, Victor watched him continue to grow—earning Alpine Level III and eventually becoming an Alpine Examiner.
Then one day, he received a call thanking him for the role he played in that journey.
Moments like these remind us that teaching goes far beyond technical skills. The impact of an instructor can shape confidence, careers, and future leaders in our profession.
