PSIA-E Education Foundation is teaming up with Goldstein Subaru in Albany, NY to present a firstever “Subaru Super Raffle.” A 2009 Subaru Outback Sport like that being auctioned was on display in front of the Grand Summit Hotel at Mount Snow during ProJam. More than 120 members bought $50 tickets at the banquet for a chance at the drawing on March 27, 2009.
Members enjoyed trying out demo equipment from Tecnica, Blizzard and Dynastar during ProJam. A big thanks to our sponsor partners for “weathering the weather” and providing such a valuable service for PSIA-E members.

Avalanche Skiwear rep Keith Smith tries to keep up with the business at his display during the ProJam Sponsor Party on Tuesday night. Avalanche is the official supplier of uniforms for the Alpine education staff of PSIA-E.
The late week drizzle (and worse) didn’t end the good times and laughs at ProJam as Alpine Ed Staff member Keith “Hoser” Hopkins and member Jane Robinson demonstrate before hitting the hill.
