CSIA offers memberships for active and non-active ski instructors and affiliates. Find the membership that’s right for you!
Regular Membership
The Regular Membership is for active Ski Instructors who are teaching and/or Members who wish to attend CSIA Programs during the season. Regular Members enjoy a wide variety of Member Benefits including Pro Deals, General Liability Insurance, and Accident, Death and Disability coverage.
Consult the Insurance section for further information. Certain conditions apply.
To become a member, start by registering for the CSIA Level 1 Certification course or a Snow Park Level 1 Certification course.
If your membership has lapsed and you would like to re-activate it, please apply for Reinstatement.
Associate Membership
The Associate Membership is an option for Ski Instructors who are not planning to teach or take any CSIA Programs during the season, but want to keep their Membership active. By changing your Membership to an Associate Membership and paying the annual Membership fees, you will avoid having to pay a reinstatement fee.
For CSIA Members, the Associate Membership will allow you to continue to accrue years of Membership toward receiving a Recognition within the organization.
The Associate Member is eligible for the General Liability coverage when skiing on their personal time; however, is not eligible for Accident, Death and Disability coverage*. Consult the Insurance section for further information.
*Certain conditions apply.
Affiliate Membership
The Affiliate Membership status is intended for Ski Instructors who wish to obtain an equivalency for their foreign ski instructor Certification(s) to either teach in Canada or continue their ski instructor training through our association.
Paid Affiliate Members can register for a CSIA Program based on the level of equivalency that is granted. Affiliate Members will only become a Regular certified Member after successfully completing a CSIA Certification of equal or higher level than the Certification Level granted through equivalency.
For more information on Affiliate Membership, please visit the ISIA & International page.
*Certain conditions apply.
25, 40, 50 Year Membership
The 25-Year Membership is an exclusive Recognition given to CSIA Members who have paid their Membership fees for 25 consecutive or cumulative years. We also recognize 40- and 50-Year Members, with special certificates and pins.
Members having achieved this Recognition before or during the 2009-2010 season were grandfathered a special reduced membership rate as explained in the outcome of the April 2009 Special General Assembly. These grandfathered members benefit from the same advantages as Regular Members, including Pro Deals, Insurance Coverage*, etc. For more information regarding the outcome of the April 2009 Special General Assembly, please click here.
Members who obtain recognition after the 2009-2010 season pay regular membership rates.
Names of Members having received these Recognitions are listed in the Hall of Fame.
Membership cost varies depending on your status and on how many organizations you are affiliated with. To know the exact amount for your membership, please contact us at the National Office.
