NSP-C Snow Sports School

Our Mission Statement

The NCP-C Snowsports School is a traveling school serving the patrols in Minnesota, parts of Wisconsin and South Dakota. We provide ski/ride enhancement seminars (SES's) to ski patrollers in this region who want to attain NSP Senior certification, PSIA/AASI certification, hill trainers who want to improve their teaching skills, and any patroller who wants to improve their ski/ride skills. We also want to add numbers to our instructor ranks by helping patrollers to find pathways to certification in the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA)/ American Association or Snowboard Instructors (AASI) organization. Our school utilizes PSIA/AASI Level II and III instructors to teach patrollers.
