C. Relationship of Instructor to Snow Sports Resorts

Not all mountain schools/snow sports centers are PSIA/AASI affiliated.

As an instructor, you will either be working directly for a school or 'center' operated by the ski resort, or some 'concession' school or group which as the legal rights to teach lessons at the ski resort.

In some other countries, being a fully certified instructor is basically a license to teach, however, in the U.S. this is not the case. In most states, teaching snow sports lessons at a ski resort, by individual instructors not affliliated with an 'approved school' at that resort, is not legal and known as "theft of services".
