2011: A Season To Remember

ook around you. Where did the summer go? It seems to have come and gone with the blink of an eye. Now it’s time to tune the boards, shake out the sweater, check the zipper on the jacket, and test the bales on your boots. It’s SKI SEASON!!! We’re all set for bluebird days, and powder, powder, powder. Our members are heading to Aspen, Whistler, Telluride, Breckenridge, Heavenly, and Park City, just to name a few destinations, and then heading across the mighty Atlantic to Engelberg and Interlaken, Switzerland for our 2011 International Ski Week. We’ll be skiing, boarding, and making the most of our favorite resorts, with the largest party planned from January 22nd to 29th, in beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho. This is the time set for our FWSA Annual Ski Week, and we anticipate an amazing 500+ members joining us on our week-long adventure. I go into each ski season, knowing that all I have to do is click on our FWSA website, go to Membership Benefits, and scroll down through the ever-growing list of product vendors, service providers, ski areas, and lodging properties to find some great deals. Our many benefits partners lend much enhancement to being a member of FWSA. Where else, with just a flash of your membership card, or a mention of FWSA by phone, can you get the many bargains made available to our members? Familiarize yourself with all that is out there, literally at our finger tips! The Far West Ski Association provides a number of ways for our members to connect with the various area reps and product sponsors from their ads in our publications to the informative Travel Expo and Silent Auction each year at the FWSA Annual Convention. Our program sponsors were out in full force this year at the 78th Annual Far West Convention, held in Indian Wells, California. Aspen/Snowmass - sponsor of the FWSA Safety Award; and Steamboat - sponsor of the FWSA History Award were there. Big White and Silver Star sponsor the FWSA Councils’ Man & Woman of the Year Program; and Whitefish Mountain and Grouse Mountain Lodge participate as sponsors of the FWSA Athletic Scholarship Program. We’ve come to know all of these fantastic folks through their continued support and commitment to FWSA, and our many wonderful programs. For this, I would like to extend my sincerest thank you. If it weren’t for these sponsors, all of our event sponsors, and the large number of industry friends who participate in the Silent Auction and Travel Expo each year, we would not be able to put on the tremendous convention that we do! A complete list of all Silent Auction participants is shown on pages 28-29. Also mentioned are those participants who received their 5-year, 10-year, 15-year, 20-year, and yes… even 25-year certificates for participation. Thank you all! If you are a vendor who would like to join us as a Members Benefit’s Partner, as Black Tie Ski Rental Delivery, Dominator Wax, Ski Butlers, Cal Neva Resort, Hampton Inn, Lake Tahoe and Liftopia have done, or are an industry member interested in a FWSA sponsorship, please contact me. We have three levels of sponsorship to offer, from product and program sponsors to a corporate sponsorship for upcoming events. I can be reached at: L fwsadebbi@comcast.net. L
