National Team Selection

Intermountain is thrilled to announce that we have six members who are now on the PSIA-AASI 2021-2024 National Team! The application process was rigorous, starting with selection events throughout divisions and culminating in this month’s fiercely competitive tryouts in Breckenridge, CO. The new Team will set the standard for snow sports instruction and serve as inspirational education leaders. Learn more about their role, and the selection process.

Congratulations to:
Christine Bruno, Bart Flynn, George Flynn, Stephen Helfenbein, Ann Schorling, and Snowboard Coach Eric Rolls

We are inspired by their awesome commitment snow sports and to PSIA-AASI!
