The Professional Ski Instructors of
America (PSIA) and American Association of
Snowboard Instructors (AASI) - Western Region
recently announced a partnership with
the California Ski Library making it the official
PSIA-W archive/repository.
An extensive
trove of artifacts and records dating back to
the 1930's, outlining the growth of the ski industry
in California, will be added to the library.
PSIA-W
celebrated its 75th Anniversary
this year. Located in Norco, California,
the Ski Library has a unique collection of
books, magazines, photographs, and ephemera
related to all facets and disciplines of skiing.
Ingrid Wicken, Founder and Curator, is in the
process of expanding the size to double what
it is now. Additional information can be found
at: www.skilibrary.com.
If you have any snowsports memorabilia,
artifacts, pictures, stories you would like to
share, or donate your volunteer time and/or finances
in support of the preservation of snowsports
history, please contact the SNOW
Sports Museum or California Ski Library directly.
They would welcome and appreciate
