Welcome to this 13th edition of the “Communiqué!”
GENERAL UPDATES
In the last two MDC editions, I mentioned the Interski tryouts. Following these events, we would like to congratulate the 48 candidates that have made it to the next round! Check out who they are below:
If you have not seen this Interski selection tryouts trailer yet, click here for some highlights from the Eastern event.
Operationally, Program participation has been trending very well; 45% ahead of last year, and we are entering the busiest section of operation season! Wishing everyone taking part in a Certification Course this spring the best of luck in their pursuit!
Across the country, we are fully aware that in some cases, COVID-19 protocols as defined by local health authorities, are starting to change. At this point in time (FYI, it has NOT changed our CSIA protocols), we are still concerned with the impact that COVID-19 has on our Members' safety, our Program operations, and our partners Ski School operations. Should our protocols change, we will broadcast that information here to the Membership.
As we continue to develop our relationship with our neighbors to the south, the PSIA has opened its upcoming Women’s Summit to our Membership. The event is scheduled from February 27 to March 2 in Stowe, Vermont. If you are interested in participating, click here to get more information and register.
