he Far West Ski Association and ten member councils benefit greatly from belonging to the National Ski Council Federation. This association allows Far West councils to interact with ski councils in the central and eastern United States at an annual meeting to exchange ideas and to get information to pass along to member clubs. Dialog with ski industry representatives is an integral component of the national meeting, which was held September 16-19, 2010, in Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado. The Federation provides a wide variety of benefits to members, which include club members of the participating councils. Beginning this year, NSCF has engaged in a longterm agreement with The Ski Channel that will give clubs and councils an opportunity to host a premier of two films as a fund raiser. Also new for members this year is a unique ski pole offered by The Royal Shaft that incorporates the NSCF and member council logos for sale to members. Skiset North America is offering NSCF members discount on rentals at more than 750 shops in 11 countries in North America and Europe. The Federation was formed in 1997 to provide councils an opportunity to exchange information and to discuss important issues that impact clubs and councils throughout the US. It provides educational materials to members and disseminates information in to assist ski councils in serving their members and to encourage honesty and integrity with member ski councils. NSCF Officers are elected every two years. Beginning their second year in office are: President, Joe Harvis (New Jersey Ski Council); Vice President, Dennis Heffley (Bay Area Snowsports Council); Treasurer, Dawn Peterman-Harris (Metropolitan Milwaukee Ski Council); Secretary, Lisa Beregi (Crescent Ski Council – Eastern U.S.).
