The CSIA Women in Skiing (WIS) National Committee is excited about the opportunities ahead for our members as we continue working to support, encourage and empower women at every stage of their skiing and professional journey.
Learning and Development
The CSIA continues to roll out some fantastic e-learning opportunities for members, providing new ways to develop skills, expand knowledge and enhance our teaching practices. We are particularly excited about the new Learner Considerations module, an excellent resource for instructors looking to better understand the diverse needs, experiences and learning styles of their students. We encourage all members to explore these new learning opportunities and take advantage of the resources available through the CSIA.
The WIS Mentorship Program – Applications Are Open!
Our national WIS Mentorship Program is now accepting applications for both mentors and mentees! We welcome mentor applications from members of all genders who are interested in sharing their knowledge, experience and perspectives. Application information for both opportunities can be found on the Women in Skiing page at www.snowpro.com.
This program has already made a meaningful difference in helping women across our organization progress to higher levels of certification and pursue leadership opportunities. The value of mentorship, however, goes both ways. Across industries, mentorship has consistently demonstrated benefits for both mentees and mentors. While mentees gain guidance, encouragement, confidence and insight from someone who has travelled a similar path, mentors often discover just how much knowledge, experience and skill they have accumulated and how valuable sharing that expertise can be to someone else’s development.
Whether you are looking for guidance on your next certification, exploring a leadership opportunity or simply hoping to build connections within our ski community, we encourage you to get involved!
Connect to Inspire – 2027 WIS Summit at Silver Star, BC
Registration is now open for the 2027 CSIA Women in Skiing Summit, taking place February 2–4 at Silver Star Mountain Resort in British Columbia!
With the theme Connect to Inspire, this year’s Summit is all about challenging ourselves, building confidence and discovering new possibilities both on and off the snow. It is an opportunity for female members to step outside their comfort zones, learn from one another, develop new skills and create connections with women from across the country.
We are also thrilled to welcome sessions with Christine Feehan from the World Women in Snowsports Organization (WWSO), bringing an exciting opportunity to learn from and connect with the broader international women-in-snowsports community.
Whether you are looking to challenge yourself technically, explore new leadership possibilities or simply meet and ski with an inspiring group of women, the WIS Summit offers something for everyone.
Registration and additional information are available at www.snowpro.com.
