How do I register for an event?

There are a few ways to register. You can register online through the Rocky Mountain website under the ‘Events” tab, or you can download an application form from the “Events” tab and email it to events@psia-rm.org.  We do not accept phone registrations as you need to sign the waiver for the event and cannot complete that over the phone.

Can I register for events over the phone?

No, we do not take event registrations over the phone due to the signing of the waiver that is required. Online registration or submit a PDF event application only.

If online registration is closed, can I still register for an event?

Yes, you can still register for an event after online registration is closed, please download a form fillable PDF Event application from the “Events” tab and email it to events@psia-rm.org.

During the online registration process you may receive notice that the event you want is full and waitlisting. If you would like to join the waitlist, you will need to have a saved payment method on your account in order to add yourself to the waitlist. If a spot becomes available, you will automatically be moved into the event and your payment method will be charged. If you place yourself on the waitlist and no longer wish to attend, please notify the office ASAP so we can remove you from the waitlist. Please make sure your payment method is up to date in your membership portal and set the proper default payment method, if you are pulled off the waitlist and your payment is declined, we cannot guarantee a spot will be held. You can view our waitlist policy at this link.

How do I apply a voucher payment?

What are CEUs?

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are required for certified members to maintain their certification. To maintain your educational requirements, members need to take 6 CEUs (continuing education units) every season. If you attain more than 6 CEUs during the season, you can transfer over up to 6 CEUs to the following season.

 

CEUs can be attained by attending on-snow or online events in any discipline or any region. If you are unable to meet your CEU requirement, you may be charged a $40 delinquent prepayment with your membership dues the following season and your status will move to Inactive until you catch up on the CEUs. If a member has remained Inactive for a period of four seasons, they will automatically be moved to Alumni status and their certification will expire at the end of the four seasons.

 

Members can check their CEU status by logging in at the Membership Portal. From your profile, it will tell you how many CEUs you are due for during the current season.

What if I’m a current college student and can’t meet the educational requirements?

Good news! We have a Student CEU Waiver available for current students in a full time capacity pursuing a degree or certification at institutions of higher education. You must submit the Student CEU Waiver Form with a copy of your current transcript to the PSIA-AASI RM office to receive a waiver for your CEU requirements. You can download the form at our homepage under the ‘Membership Tab’ and then under ‘Membership Forms’

How do I attend online E-Learning Courses and Webinars?

Members can attend online e-learning courses and webinars to earn CEUs. Prerecorded courses and webinars can be found at lms.thesnowpros.org under the “Courses” tab and the “Webinars” tab.  You can also search for live webinars from any region at www.thesnowpros.org under the Event Calendar.

When are confirmation emails sent with event information such as where we meet and when?

We send confirmation emails  two to three weeks before the start of the event with details on where to check-in, etc. If you register after the two or three week mark, the confirmation details will be included in your original event registration email.

Can I attend Non PSIA-AASI clinics for credit?

A form to submit these credits is available from the website or the office and must be submitted with the appropriate payment as listed on the form.
