Dear PSIA-AASI Member,

We are hoping to see you at the late April Loveland, A-Basin, or Breckenridge event you are registered for. However, current snow conditions across the region are challenging, and there is a possibility that some events may need to be canceled or relocated.

Please know that participant safety is our top priority. We will be closely monitoring conditions and plan to make final decisions regarding event status during the first week of April.

In the meantime, you are welcome to cancel your registration and receive a full refund. To cancel, please log-in to the Member Portal, navigate to My Events and click Edit next to the event you are registered for. We encourage you to also review any non-refundable travel or lodging arrangements you may have made.

If these late Spring events get cancelled, we will add a waiver to your account that will provide the CEUs you would have earned.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility, and we will keep you informed as more information becomes available.

Thanks for your patience and flexibility during this challenging season.

PSIA-AASI RM
