National Team Project
The National Team Project (NTP) is a donor-funded initiative designed to ensure that PSIA-AASI remains the best of the best through increased public awareness, professional development, and quality instruction. The NTP leverages the PSIA-AASI National Team above and beyond its historical reach through more interactions with members, more time at member schools, increased video content creation, a new focus on leadership and pipeline development, and more exposure to PSIA-AASI. Keep reading to learn about the NTP’s key initiatives, beginning in the 2025-26 season.
100 More Days on Snow
The most direct impact of the National Team has long been its on-snow work that inspires and trains snowsports instructors. We want to make the team more accessible and get them to more places. The NTP aims to significantly and rapidly expand the reach of the team by adding 100 additional on-snow days for the 2025-26 season, including a focus on ski areas that have historically missed out on opportunities to host team members. This effort will include additional National Team support for regional events.
Pipeline Growth for the Next Generation
The accomplished members of the National Team are at the peak of the snowsports instruction profession, and are well-positioned to help directly develop future National Team members, snowsports school leaders, PSIA-AASI education staff, and more. In addition to supporting regional team development, the NTP will enable the creation of multiple, national level “super camps” each season. Led by the team and its coaches, super camps will directly support, train, and uplift the rising stars of the next generation.
Content Development
To continue to provide members with exceptional educational content across multiple platforms, the NTP will support National Team Members in rapidly expanding our library of high-quality, relevant educational webinars and technical videos. The NTP will also support Team Member efforts to partner with brands and the larger ski and snowboard industry to promote the value of both PSIA-AASI and pro lessons to a wider audience.
This work is donor-supported. Make an impact with a gift.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 for the 2025-26 season to accelerate the National Team Project. Thank you for any level of support you are able to offer!
