Learn To Be A Ski Instructor or Learn To Ski or Ride
Like One!
Do you wish you could glide down the hill or through the
moguls and fresh powder like the instructors you see while riding the lift? Do you wonder what
secret gift or talent makes it so easy for them? Does learning to ski or ride like the
pros seem unattainable to you? The fact is, you can become a better skier or
snowboarder by learning and applying certain basic skills.
You can learn these skills by joining the Amateur
Ski Instructors Association (ASIA) and taking one of our many two or four day ski or snowboard instruction
programs. Some people participate in ASIA programs to learn how to teach others
in a structured club or school instruction program. Others take programs to
learn how to give support to friends or family members who are learning to ski
or ride. Still others join for the camaraderie and exciting learning opportunities our
programs provide.

interested in promoting or participating in snowsports, both
individually or through clubs and organizations.
