This online interactive guide was developed by the PSIA-AASI Certification Task Force, chaired by Craig Panarisi, to serve as an educational resource for instructors. Please note that it was not designed to be printer friendly. Instead, this version is prepared to be a dynamic, interactive online study tool. The material is extracted from PSIA and AASI copyrighted materials. Every attempt has been made to bring you current content.

This guide is designed to serve as a resource for teachers and ambassadors of all snowsports. It is to be used in conjunction with the sport specific manuals, which delve more deeply into technical skills and approaches to teaching. For teachers of snowsports, this represents the nucleus of what we do in our lives and our jobs. Regardless of the
tool(s) we choose, we find similarities and shared knowledge. We hope that you consider this as a living document that evolves, and sparks and inspires further exploration.
