"I am excited to share my years of experience with our local resort, both as an ambassador and resort trainer. I have been instructing at Dodge Ridge for 30 years and have L2 alpine, L2 senior and L1 children's certifications. I have built a clientele of students whom I have brought from first- timers to advanced skiers. Teaching skiing was my first job, starting in 1968. After a couple of years of teaching while going to school, I took some years off, returning in 1995 when my youngest got a job at Dodge Ridge so I also applied. Many thanks to all the amazing instructors and mentors who have helped me make this my second career." — Laurie Corson

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! 🏅⛷️👏

"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
