industry. Our museum and its
exhibits aim to inform
people, young and old, about
this heritage.
As the years went by,
skiing gained status as a
competitive and recreational
sport thanks to several
factors: new clubs and
associations, publications
| and manuals about skiers and
skiing, improved equipment,
and better instruction. The
Canadian Amateur Ski
Association (CASA) was
founded in 1920 with the aim
of creating a framework for
skiing techniques. In 1938
the Canadian Ski School (CSS)
was formed in the
| Laurentians, and went on to
become the Canadian Ski
Instructors Alliance in 1949.
