PSIA-AASI supports instructional programs in alpine skiing, snowboarding, telemark skiing, cross-country skiing, and adaptive skiing and riding.

Since 1961, PSIA-AASI has carved a way of life out of sharing the gift of skiing and snowboarding. From the breakthrough instructional psychology of student-centered teaching in the 1970s to adaptive, cross-country, and women’s instruction in the 1980s to the game-changing advent of snowboarding and explosion of freestyle in the beginning of the 20th century, PSIA-AASI has built an international reputation as one of the most imaginative and continuously evolving international organizations in all of sports.

PSIA-AASI’s national office is in Lakewood, Colorado, and there are eight regional divisions across the country: Central, Eastern, Intermountain, Northern Intermountain, Northern Rocky Mountain, Northwest, Rocky Mountain, and Western.
