An Abrupt End to the Season

With growing concerns about the outbreak of COVID-19, and the closing of our member schools, the Intermountain Division cancelled all remaining on-snow events for the 2019/20 Season. We know that this directly impacted many of you, including those who had worked hard all season to prepare for Spring Exams. We are already planning early season exams for those of you who want to jump right back in. We were also disappointed to miss out on our annual end-of-season celebration. We plan to recognize all of our honorees at Fall Rally, and we will be publishing the Instructors of the Year awards in the May edition of Face Shots.

If you were registered for a cancelled event, you were automatically refunded. If you are in need of CEUs, they can be made up next season, or you can check out our webinars and summer clinics (health considerations permitting).

Our Salt Lake office is currently closed to visitors, but our call center is open 8-5 to answer questions and help however we can. You can also email us at admin@psia-i.org. We’re already looking forward to seeing you on snow next season.

In this uncertain time, the Intermountain Division has been working collaboratively with the other divisions and the national organization.
