Unlock a rare opportunity to train with the architects of modern ski instruction.
Rookies Hosted Power Camp – PSIA with Ben Potts
Join Ben Potts—PSIA National Team member, examiner, and International ski trainer—for a two-week performance and development camp designed for certified instructors looking to explore PSIA’s training philosophies, skiing fundamentals, and teaching concepts.
Whether you’re already certified through PSIA or another system, this camp offers a unique opportunity to train under one of the most respected leaders in the U.S. snowsports education system.
As host and lead coach, Ben shapes the overall camp experience: designing the training progression, guiding the technical focus, and supporting your personal development throughout the two weeks. While participants may not ski with Ben every day, his leadership, insight, and coaching style influence the entire delivery of the camp.
You’ll also train with a team of highly experienced Rookie Academy coaches, blending PSIA principles with the dynamic terrain of Treble Cone and the high-energy Rookie Academy culture. Expect a collaborative environment where certified instructors from all backgrounds can sharpen their skiing, enhance their teaching, and take away new ideas that apply across systems.
This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from a current PSIA National Team member—on Southern Hemisphere snow—before the northern season begins.
Great skiing, made easy.
