PSIA-AASI Announces Partnership with Pure Mountain Fun

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (Aug. 31, 2023) – The Professional Ski Instructors of America and American Association of Snowboard Instructors (PSIA-AASI) recently partnered with Pure Mountain Fun to provide member-specific pricing on the brand’s versatile ski and snowboard packs.

“The Ski Pack and Rider Pack eliminate the hassle of juggling ski and snowboard equipment while navigating the walk to and from the chairlifts,” said Julie Gacnik, the brand’s creator. “The four-ounce pack creates a custom fit while worn, and stores in most winter jacket pockets while on the slopes, eliminating the need for locker rentals.”

“By partnering with Pure Mountain Fun, our members can access lightweight and durable backpacks that help reduce the stress and strain of carrying equipment as they head to the slopes for a fun day of ski and ride instruction,” said PSIA-AASI CEO Peggy Hiller. “Our members often get asked by their students about gear, and this partnership will help educate snowsports enthusiasts about carrying options.”

Featuring tear-resistant material, the patent-pending Ski Pack is a lightweight and quick-drying ski carrier designed to support outdoor enthusiasts who want to easily carry their skis. The hands-free ski carrier features adjustable straps, durable material, and pocket-size storage. In addition, the bottom of the Ski Pack has a reinforced opening wide enough to allow skis to easily slide through, while preventing bindings from passing through.

The custom-designed Rider Pack is made of the same material to accommodate snowboards, lessening the burden for riders too.

Pure Mountain Fun also offers the ‘Chute Pack – Special Edition, made of eco-friendly repurposed military parachutes and aluminum components, in both Ski Pack and Rider Pack designs.
