It is the umbrella organization over 11 councils. Within the councils, there are approximately 165 ski clubs. Membership in the Far West Ski Association has so many benefits. The varied programs offered are found in articles written by officers of the Association, committee chairmen, and council presidents, included in this issue of the Far West Skier's Guide. You will have a great time thinking of all different ways you can enjoy snowsports. If you are already a member of a council club, you are automatically a member of the Far West Ski Association. The FWSA has a member benefits program, as do councils and clubs. These include discounts on ski equipment, lodging at ski resorts, and even discounts at certain restaurants in the ski areas. All you have to do is show your FWSA Membership Card, which is provided by your ski club. There aren't any nicer people than those who join clubs, and members become a close-knit community. With summer and winter activities that go beyond snowsports, you can have a very active life just belonging to a club. Many clubs offer kayaking, hiking, biking, and water skiing, to name just a few fun additional activities. Another benefit to joining a club is that members carpool together or charter buses so you don't need to drive to a ski area by yourself. This doesn't just include weekend trips but mid-week skiing, as well. Many ski clubs belong to a race league, and there are also junior races for children. If you are looking for a great organization to join, a snowsports club should be one of your first considerations. Refer to the Club Section (starting on page 66) of this issue of the Far West Skier's Guide for a local club near where you live. Club listings are by council. Direct membership in the Far West Ski Association is available for those who have relocated, and for those nationwide who wish to participate in Far West travel and other organizational opportunities. Simply copy and fill out the application on the top left on this page and mail it in along with the membership fee.
