Registered, Inactive, Retired, Dual or School Memberships

In addition to the full, active membership, there are several other categories of membership available to people who are not yet certified, employed by a school or not currently teaching. These additional membership categories each have the option of National membership which includes full benefits, or division only membership.

Division-only membership maintains membership and certification status with NRM but does not include benefits of national membership, such as access to the PSIA/AASI professional purchase program or National publications. Divisional newsletters are included with division-only membership.

Registered membership

This is the entry level of membership. You do not need to be employed as a snowsports instructor and you do not have to be certified. Some instructors become Registered members upon joining a snowsports school, then pursue certification after that.

Registered Division-only membership if paying on or before your renewal date $40

Inactive membership

Inactive membership is available to certified instructors that are not currently teaching, and are unable to attend clinics to maintain education credits. Inactive status lasts for four years but can be reverted to full membership if the member becomes employed. If you are choosing this membership type for the first time, please inform the division office of your intent.
