 Research into ski techniques, methodology
and didactic fields of skiing and every related branch is supported by
the ISIA, within the realms of its ability.The first steps for creating ISIA were actually undertaken by the main Alpine countries, in 1962, during the Interski Congress in Monte Bondone (Italy).A first congress on a visioning for an International Association for the Professional Ski Instructors, was held in 1964, under the leadership of the French Gaston Cathiard .
