Biography
MontenegroInterski – MASI is an official association of the State Montenegro established on November 26th, 1994, (as a continuity of the “Commission of Ski Instructors” in the Ski Association of Montenegro), the delegates of all ski instructors from the Montenegro decided to found MASI that would have the same rights and obligations as the former Association of Ski Instructors and Coaches of Montenegro.The main purspose for it establishment was the wish to develop and promote world trends in snowsports on the mountains of Montenegro, since Montenegro is mainly a mountain country where snow lasts for at least 6 months, while on some peaks it lasts all year round. Our aim is to improve, through development of Winter tourism, the quality of local people life who have been living in these mountain regions for centuries. Development of Snowsport in Montenegro, would certainly influence on stop moving lokal people from mountain.At the General Assemblies (IVSS, ISIA, IVSI and INTERSKI) during 2005, Montenegro was accepted as a permanent member (after ten years of observation). MASI is an non-profit organization of snow sport instructors in Montenegro. MASI at the moment has over 400 members. (alpine, nordic and snowboard instructors)
