From a field of 98 candidates who tried out this past week, at Mammoth, California, Jennifer is one of only 14 who were selected. Friday evening, after five days (and evenings) of grueling challenges, Jennifer’s hard work in preparation, and talent, brought her victory, and great pride to Central Division.

WWW. These three little letters are
the gateway to the outside world for ski town dwellers, often the
only means by which we can access many of the luxuries, and some of
the necessities, available to our city cousins. How else can you secure
DVD box sets, socks, and even dates? Maybe you even score pro deals
online. And if you’re reading this, you rely on the Internet to explore
all that PSIA and your division have to offer. |

Court of Appeals: Skiers Liable For Injuries While the Michigan Ski Area Safety Act (SASA) has skiers assume the risk of injuries inherent in the sport, if a skier breaks the SASA they are liable for any injuries they cause by a violation of their statutory duties according to a ruling issued today by the Court of Appeals. That finding came in Toni RUSNAK v Matt WALKER, Case No. 264671. In the case, defendant Walker was skiing a run at Boyne Mountain Ski Resort when he collided with Rusnak. In reviewing the case, the Court of Appeals held that the lower court in handling the case, erred by dismissing the plaintiff's complaint on the basis of the assumption of risk provision of the SASA. The case was reversed and remanded for further action. |

My father, Brian (Patrick) Murphy was an avid skier and ski instructor
for 30 or more years, many of which were affiliated with P.S.I.A.
He taught me to ski when I was 4, and I have loved it ever since!
This was my favorite thing to do with my father! His inspiration and
support are big reasons I became a Snowboard Examiner for Central
and still am! He had a way of encouraging others to try even harder
and exceed even their best, which made him an outstanding coach! He
was very caring, dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate, which made
him an exceptional father! He is missed a lot!
