SAS is the only official PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) training school in Europe which ensures that you will receive top quality tuition from experienced and modern thinking PSIA and BASI (British Association of Snowsport Instructors) coaches. SAS has worked hard  to receive recognition from USSA (United States Ski and Snowboard Association) and we are pleased to announce that we will be holding our first L100 race coaching courses during the winter 2008/9.
