Mammut, a global leader in mountain safety and technical outdoor gear, is proud to announce it will be the official Performance Mountain Outerwear Partner of the Professional Ski Instructors of America – American Association of Snowboard Instructors (PSIA-AASI). PSIA-AASI has been the pillar of professional training and education in snowsports instruction for more than 60 years, while Mammut has been a trusted brand for mountain athletes and professionals since it was founded in 1862, for more than 160 years. The historic partnership celebrates both organizations’ passion for the mountains, and commitment to the snowsports industry.
Mammut will supply uniforms for PSIA-AASI’s National Team, and co-branded logo wear for its 34,000 members – ensuring the largest organization of ski and snowboard instructors are equipped with the gear they need for long days in the mountains. The uniforms are tailored specifically for professionals, and prioritize safety and excellence in the mountains – a value ingrained in Mammut since the beginning. The uniforms are based on the renowned Eiger Extreme Collection and built for the world’s most extreme environments. The 3L GORE-TEX PRO fabric keeps instructors comfortable, safe and protected while working in varied mountain conditions.
“Mammut is honored to partner with PSIA-AASI to support their mission of advancing snowsports education,” said Matt Kaplan, Managing Director of Mammut North America. “This collaboration goes beyond providing uniforms, it’s about outfitting snowsports professionals with the tools they need to inspire confidence and passion in their students while fostering a culture of safety and performance. The collaboration also complements Mammut’s ongoing partnerships with the National Ski Patrol (NSP) and resort partners nationwide, strengthening our shared commitment to elevating safety and excellence across the industry.”
In addition to outfitting PSIA-AASI members, the partnership includes new member benefits such as access to advanced training opportunities, and collaborations on content and marketing initiatives that promote snowsports instruction and safety in the mountains. These collaborations highlight Mammut’s leadership in professional equipment, solidifying its role as a steward of mountain culture, uniting heritage brands that share a mission to empower and protect those who shape the future of snowsports.
“We admire Mammut’s commitment to inspiring a love for the mountains and encouraging people to ‘get outside, take on new challenges, and find connections in the great outdoors,'” said Jeff Lifgren, CEO of PSIA-AASI. “This mission aligns perfectly with what our snow pros do every day—helping others experience the joy of outdoor adventure through professional instruction. We’re also thrilled to partner with a brand that prioritizes producing high-quality, thoughtfully designed technical gear. Our members are active, adventurous, and rely on durable gear that can withstand year-round use. Ensuring they have the apparel that meets their high-performance needs is essential.”
