Snowsports Management Seminar
Killington, VT
December 3 - 4, 2008
The 2008 Snowsports School Management Seminar will be held at Killington, VT, on December 3 & 4, 2008. New Snowsports Management Committee Chairperson, Debbie Goslin, and her committee members have responded to your requests and surveys and have put together an exciting schedule of training events and activities for this year’s event. To receive PSIA National accreditation, your snowsports school director or technical director/supervisor must attend (annually) the Snowsports School Management Seminar at Killington, or the Southern Snowsports School Management Seminar at Massanutten, VA, on January 12-13, 2009, or the PSIA National Academy. Although only the director or a staff trainer is required to attend, we encourage snowsports schools to send several of your staff trainers in order to take full advantage of the topics being offered.
This year’s Keynote Presentation will be by Ski Areas of New York President and ski area insurance expert, Scott Brandi. Scott’s presentation, entitled “Is Your School Exposed?” will bring to light important information that will help you with the management and operation of your school.
This year’s seminar will also feature presentations by Dee Byrne, Director of the Vail Snowsports School. Dee will present “Customer Service for 2010” and “Lesson Products for this Century.” These are certainly presentations that you won’t want to miss.
As last year, we will have a specific snowboard track for our AASI management and trainers. This year’s event will feature several AASI National Team members and a presentation on children’s equipment by Burton representatives.
There will also be an Adaptive track for Adaptive school managers.
Rounding out the seminar will be sessions on important topics, such as Exam Updates, Management Roundtables, and Train-the-Trainer sessions, plus the opportunity to ski and ride with Eastern and National team members.
Complete details, lodging information, and a session schedule was mailed to each school in early October.Click here for the NEW 2008 Snowsports Management Brochure!
