Western By The Numbers.
In 2021, 967 Western members were inactive. Today, that number is 440 — cut by more than half.
At the same time, the share of members participating in at least one regional event rose from 40% to 48%. More instructors engaging. Fewer sitting on the sidelines. That's not a coincidence — it's the result of a calendar built around real member needs.

Four seasons ago, Western offered 197 regional events. This season? 347.
That's not just growth. That's the region expanding what's possible for every member, in every discipline, across every corner of the West.
More events. More access. More reasons to stay engaged.
—Why this matters ?
These numbers tell a clear story: the region is not standing still. More information on our Truth + Momentum web page https://psia-w.org/truth-and-momentum/

Western By The Numbers.

Western members give PSIA-AASI a mean satisfaction score of 8.62 out of 10 — and 38% give a perfect 10.
That's not a stat. That's 3,700+ instructors saying: this community is worth it.
And 91% plan to renew.
The retention speaks for itself.

How cool is this? Our PSIA-AASI Western Region banner made it halfway to Everest Base Camp, carried by Dorjee Sherpa and her daughter Sabrina.

Behind, is the statue of her great uncle Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, who summited Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 🤩🙌

The mountains may look different around the world, but the spirit is the same: adventure, connection, learning, and showing up for the journey.

Thanks for taking Western Region along for the ride.

Spring Convention 2026! what a weekend!

Strong energy, real connection, and a community that keeps showing up to learn, improve, and move the profession forward.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and made this what it is! Instructors, examiners, clinicians, and members. This doesn’t happen without you.
This is where progression actually happens: on snow, together.
