Solid fundamentals. Real growth. Intro to PSIA-AA Solid fundamentals. Real growth. Intro to PSIA-AASI Snowsports with Tim Reeve brought together members who aren’t currently working in a snowsports school — and gave them space to build confidence, clarity, and community. @reeve4996 Over the course of the week, participants focused on: • Student-centered lesson delivery • Accurate, precise demos • Skiing and riding skill development • Giving and receiving effective feedback What stood out most wasn’t just skill progression — it was the willingness to step in, try, reflect, and support one another. Strong fundamentals. Thoughtful teaching. Connected professionals. That’s how the next generation of snow pros begins. #PSIAAASI #WesternRegion #InstructorDevelopment #SnowPros #CommunityOnSnow
