NZSIA App
Have you checked out the NZSIA App yet? We are excited to keep building this to become something that all our members will be able use as a valuable resource – including elearning and manuals. Try it out!
Industry Discount for 2023
It will be a voucher system again like last year, allocated from your Resort Snowsports Manager. Each resort will have a limited number of vouchers, giving the resorts the ability to target where they would like to further develop their Snowsports School.
We recommend securing your place at full price, then if you are eligible for a voucher at a later date, we can apply the discount retrospectively.
Getting current
Memberships rolled over on the 1st Jan 2023. Renewing for 2023 can be done through your profile (remember if you miss a year, fees accrue): https://www.nzsia.org/member/
