Spring Convention: 2010 Convention Details

The 2010 Spring Convention will be held at Squaw Valley this spring, April 16-18.

For those who have not attended one of our Conventions recently, this event is built around opportunities for camaraderie and fellowship with our fellow instructors, combined with an impressive array of on-snow clinics and learning experiences.

Registering for Convention

Update 4/13. Sorry- Pre-Registration is closed. Late fees are now in effect. You can still register for daily clinics at the event.

NOTES: The Banquet and Kick-Off Party are sold out. We expect 'overflow' conditions, as seating will be in various locations at High Camp. Thank you for your cooperation.

This Convention looks to be our most attended in years, so we apologize in advance for the potential for lines at registration. We will do our best.
