Founded more than 50 years ago, it is PSIA-AASI’s longest-running event and is an opportunity to ski big terrain in a supportive environment, learn from and network with your peers both on- and off-mountain, stay up on innovations shaping our industry, grow your community, demo new equipment, and get inspired. National Academy offers groups for Alpine, Snowboard, Adaptive, Cross Country and Telemark.

We have three scholarships available, made possible through the generosity of Kent and Vicki Logan, these scholarships support professional growth by covering the National Academy registration, hotel accommodations, and banquet. This season, Copper Mountain will host National Academy, where the PSIA-AASI National Team will work directly with participants to address individual development needs while sharing the vision and messaging they will take to the world at Interski Vail 2027.
