When PSIA\u2019s seven founders sat down to form the Professional Ski Instructors of America in May 1961 at Big Mountain in Whitefish, Montana, they had one goal: to create a standard of consistency for ski instruction that it would help draw new participants to the sport from across the nation. Now, six decades later, PSIA-AASI teaches everyone how to enjoy more than just alpine skiing; welcoming every snowsports discipline, ability, and person. \n\nIn part four of this six-part series, listen to Dave Alden and Randy Price discuss the creation of the American Association of Snowboard Instructors, one of the six of the most notable teaching benchmarks from the past 60 years.
