Every term an instructor might use, explained in a sentence or two — from A-frame to zipper line.
About the glossary
The same explanations appear as hints — a dotted underline under a term on lesson pages, on school and instructor profiles, and in messages — and the switch below turns them off. Signed in, that choice is saved to your account; signed out, it is kept in this browser. The search box matches a term or its explanation. Where an article goes deeper, the entry links to it.
57 instructor governing bodies, such as BASI, CSIA, and PSIA-AASI, are included, each with a link to the body's own site. A term that is only digits, such as a trick name, is never underlined automatically, because a price or a ski length looks the same. Find a Ski School lists 1,311 ski and snowboard school profiles across 43 countries with listed schools, including unclaimed listings. 6,128+ resort profiles are listed. The directory covers 88 countries with resorts or schools.
