Looking for an early season opportunity to brush-up your skills, surrounded by like-minded pros? Ready to be inspired by outstanding leaders and discover new tools and ideas? Combined with Eastern Academy and certification/specialist colleges, Summit Academy gathers over 500 instructors, sponsors and leaders for five days of snowsports, education and camaraderie. Experience the biggest PSIA-AASI event in the East, if not the country!
Participants in the Summit Academy ski with groups led by members of the AASI National Team for the week. A group’s specific focus will depend on the participant’s goals and typically include:
- Personal riding improvement.
- Exploring the technical, people, and teaching skills of the Learning Connection Model.
- Understanding cause and effect relationships as you continue to refine your Movement Analysis skills.
- Exploring varying tactics for success in different terrain and conditions.
Participants should arrive prepared to be on snow for five days and able to ride safely on green to groomed black terrain. Depending on trail availability and snow conditions, some groups may elect to venture into ungroomed terrain, including moguls and glades. On the first morning of the event, the groups split by interests and pacing. On Wednesday afternoon, participants break from their group to join an optional session, with topics offered to suit many different goals and interests. Sign-ups for these sessions will be open on Monday and/or Tuesday, during the event.
On-snow activities are complemented by social happenings, including a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres party on Thursday, indoor presentations and more. Whether this is your first year at “Summit Academy” or you are a seasoned veteran, this is bound to be a week to remember.
Attendance is limited, and the event often closes before the deadline; early registration is strongly encouraged.
