President’s Perspective
Howard Krisher - President, PSIA-Central
Hello Fellow
AASI/PSIA
Members,
It is official;
the PSIA-C
office is in the
hands of a
professional
management
team. If you
have not received my letter (which
is on the PSIA-C website and in
the Central Forum on the National
website), PSIA-C is now being
managed by Eurich Management
Services located in Lansing,
Michigan. Expect to see a number
of improvements beginning with this
newsletter. You can contact the new
office at 517-327-0601.
The new management team is
currently familiarizing themselves
with our operations and trying
to correct problems that they
inherited. They are in the process of
updating our membership database
utilizing the PSIA National Office
data system. Once this process
is completed you will experience
new levels of on-line service
that will allow you to view your
records, renew membership, read
your newsletter and receive other
communications electronically.
The new staff has also begun to
make changes to the PSIA-C website
with the help of Carlton Guc

 A Time of Transition Mike Bell - Education VP, PSIA-Central
Our industry has changed much over the
years, from straight running boards to
super side-cut rockets on our feet. On
the Boarding side they have changed
from a piece of plywood with rounded
edges to high tech sleds. We pride
our selves on being able to adjust
our approaches to the demands of
the industry. What does that mean?
Our industry and generations have
evolved with out us being prepared. I
e-mailed a fellow instructor the other
day discussing the Snowboard Ed
Staff tryouts and the reasons behind
the need for evaluating education
material and Ed staff members.
Even though he disagreed with
our reasons he agreed with the
concept.
The concept is simple. Ed staff
represents the highest level of
competency, with emphasis
on being able to evaluate and
teach anyone on any terrain.
They also have the ability
to adjust, adapt and apply
education-based concepts and
material to any situation as
needed. As an organization
the topic of restructuring a
discipline has been brought
up numerous times. With
changes being made every
year to programs sometimes
its hard to keep up. We
reviewed the stages of
development and the
process of evolution the discipline has
gone through and realized the demands
might be greater then projected. In the
beginning, the staff was selected to carry
out a mission statement that reflected
the needs of the time. Now, the industry
has changed so much the demand needs
to be met with the same progressive
evolution as the wants.
The state of the Snowboard program
is in transition with graduating results
reflective of a parallel. When you are
born you’re a single piece of paper and
by the time you die you’re a manuscript.
The program has added several pages
to the script with technology, education
material and instructor intervention
resulting in a need for change and
new energy for the future. The future is
generation Y! Our youth has a greater
impact in our industry then ever before.
Everyone wants to know who the long
term promoters of sliding sports are.
Look at your School Programs and
compare the number of Boarders to
skiers. The trend in the industry points to
boarding, with interest in Back Country
Skiing and alpine coming in a distant
third. If you look at school programs, the
number of boarders verses skiers, is 2-1
with even a higher percentage in some
major markets. Were going to be hard
pressed keeping up with the demand if
we continue to take a reactive posture
instead of a proactive stance. Several
of us have had the vision and desire to

 TOP PRIORITY
Improving Member Services
Katie HC Poindexter, Director of Membership and Continuing Education

The first question many members ask me
is whether I am a ski instructor or if I know
anything about the sport. My reply has
always been that since my mother found
tap shoes to be safer than skis in my
formative years, I have had the privilege
of teaching children different disciplines
of dance from the age of thirteen. I
understand the passion of teaching and
the importance of improving one’s skills
to become a more effective instructor.
We are aware of these fundamentals at
PSIA-C, and it is with this in mind that we
are striving to create a more efficient and
member-friendly office.
One of our main focal points to improve
member services is to increase the
availability of information. Members who
have the capability of accessing the internet
will be able to log on to Cenral’s website,
www.psia-c.org, for updates of events,
confirmation of event sign-ups, FAQs, The Central Line newsletter,
and documents available for printing. Not all these options are
available just yet, but we suggest you regularly check the website
for these updates.
There have been numerous incidents regarding renewal notices
and membership cards being incorrect or not received. We are
working diligently to correct the situation by processing renewals
and sending out cards as quickly as we can. In order to avoid
this problem in the future, we are looking at options, including
permitting members to pay membership renewals online through
the National website.
I hope these improvements and others in the planning stages will
bring additional value to your membership. We want to bring
ease and flexibility to your PSIA-C membership, allowing you to
concentrate on your continuing education and teaching during the
winter season.
Katie HC Poindexter is PSIA-C’s Member Services and Continuing Education Coordinator.
She handles the majority of member issues and manages educational events for PSIA-C.
She can be reached at the PSIA-C office, at (517) 327-0601, ext. 16.

Veteran Teacher Passes Away

Clifford Gonyer, a thirty year plus certified instructor in
our Central Division, died August 31, 2002 at the age
of 75 years.
Cliff was a teacher by profession and by nature.
Professionally, he taught and coached swimming in the
Bloomington Public School system.
He taught skiing with Pine Bend Ski School until its
close and then with Hyland Ski and Snowboard School.
He was an instructor, supervisor and part of the
Education Staff.
For several years he coached the Wayzata High School
Ski Team.
Cliff was also a member of the Hyland National Ski
Patrol for over 30 years. His contribution was made as a
ski-training officer at both the local and division levels.
We will miss his enthusiasm for learning, generous
sharing of his ski knowledge, sonorous voice and sense
of humor.
Keep ‘em carving Cliff!

Patricia Dorn, Snowboard Level 2
Crystal Mountain, Michigan
Do your entry-level students
frequently over-rotate their
boards while learning to turn
and stop, causing them to
sail off on their “wrong” foot
and into a panic bail-out?
Most beginners have a
fairly neutral stance angle,
so why not seize this
awkward situation and
turn it into a teaching
moment by exploring
their first experience
of riding fakie or
switch? Rather than
encouraging them to
flail the board back
into their chosen lead,
or give advice to “not
rotate so much,” I
frequently explain
the cause briefly,
then suggest they
quickly extend a new
leading arm to aid
orientation, enjoy
the traverse and
SNOWBOARDING
then tilt the board
into the hill to a
stop.
10
Share the
Load or
“Fakie
Without
Fuss”
The outcome is an early
introduction to switch riding which
exposes some of the mystery
surrounding the process. As the
student progresses, longer rides
promote fatigue in the quad
muscles of the leading leg. The
student will remember the fakie
traverse and gently ease into
garlands both toe and heel side. As
confidence grows, more time will
be spent closer to the fall line while
carefully executing toe and heel
side arcs and stops into the hill.
Remounting a student’s bindings
to force all navigation to be done
switch is probably a waste of tool
time. Skating, riding the lifts, and
riding the slope in this grimly-
determined fashion can be brutal.
Try these more gentle methods
and it will probably be a short time
until the first switch turns across
the fall line will be seen and linked
turns begin to appear. The benefit
of sharing the load by using both
legs as leads on long runs is easily
recognized and appreciated as the
added skills of switch riding are
achieved.

Scott Anderson - Executive VP, PSIA-Central
The weather in Northern Michigan
is cold and has my mind set on
an early start to the ski season. I
know most of the resorts opened on
Thanksgiving.
I would like to remind you that the
Amnesty Program is still available
until January 31st, 2003. If you
know of an instructor that would
like to return, they can become
reinstated at their past level of
certification. There is a $50.00
processing fee, current dues must
be paid, and you must attend two
education events over the following
twelve months.
We also have available a student
membership for those instructors that

dues are $45 per year. As a
student member, you must attend
an education event every four
years. This is a great opportunity
for high school and college
students to be involved with our
organization.
This issue also solicits nominations
for the board of directors. If you
have an interest in serving or know
of someone that would make a
good board member, please let
us know. Any of the present board
members would be happy to
answer questions you might have.
