Snowboard Discipline News – Fall 2017

Artie Castro, Snowboard Chair

Share the Stoke

What a summer it has been.We are all still enjoying memories of last winter’s great riding, while at this moment enjoying the “Surf to Snow Event.” At AASI we are there for you in all seasons. One of the coolest things about last season was all the new faces at our resorts and in our membership. We had many of our members reach new levels of professionalism achieving certification in the Snowboard discipline, or through our Children’s, Freestyle, or Divisional Trainer Programs. Our Spring Snowboard Camp at Mam- moth attracted riders from across the country, and was an amazing combination of great riding, technical skills enhancement and fun. Thanks to Lea Logal for bringing this great education product to our membership. New this year- check out our early season Snowboard Camp at Mammoth, Nov. 27-28.

As a Board member, I can assure you that we are tirelessly looking for ways to improve things for our member- ship. The snowboard discipline has produced many of the most dedicated and passionate members of PSIA-AASI West. We are always looking for people who want to get involved and be the next generation of leadership within the organization so that we can continue to “Share The Stoke” with our members and with the many people who visit our resorts throughout the season. So with that being said, what do you want from the PSIA/AASI – Western Division in the future? And how will you help us get there?
