Anyone who is anyone in ski teaching in the old days knew that ISIA was short for “I’ve Skied In Aviemore” not the “ International Ski instructors Association.” At the end of every winter BASI Instructors from around the world would congregate on Coire Cas for the final two weeks of skiing of the season for the Spring BASI course. In those days Scotland enjoyed long ski seasons and this training took place during the last week of April and first week in May . In the 1970’s and 80’s there was always good snow, amazing moguls and lots of good craic in the Aviemore pubs.
It was here where I met you Ian. I look back with fond memories of those wonderful Spring courses. I hope Ian you may remember some of the old characters . Happy times , thank you
