Gordon Lusk:
Safety Person
of the Year
by Mike Sanford
Vice-President of Public Affairs, FWSA
The 2013 Safety Person of Year winner
is Gordon Lusk of the Mountain High Ski Club
of the Northwest Ski Club Council. Gordon is
a long time expert skier. He is the president of
the PACRAT Race League and has been involved many years with safety in racing. His
efforts have been extensive with supervising
course set-up, course starters, and crew. He
has presented course safety information and
techniques to club members and has written
articles on this. Gordon has also coached high
school and junior racers and promoted the
FWRA Scholarship program to these kids.
The FWSA believes that safety is an important component in snowsports. We recognize that the ski resorts do an extraordinary
job of minimizing hazards. Ultimately, safety
is based on individual responsibility and behavior. The FWSA Safety Person of the Year
Program is sponsored by Aspen Skiing Company with lodging provided by The Gant &
Crestwood Resort Condominiums
Aspen/Snowmass has partnered with the
FWSA for over a decade in recognizing the individual who has done the most to improve
safety-consciousness. This fine award shows
the Aspen/Snowmass commitment to promoting safety, and we would like to thank Mary
Manning of Aspen/Snowmass for running this
program for all these years.
The winner receives a six-day vacation
for two from Aspen Skiing Company, including lift tickets for all four mountains (Ajax,
Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass),
six days of rentals and a half-day group lesson
for two, round trip air and seven nights lodging provided by The Crestwood Condominiums and The Gant. We encourage each ski
club to promote this fine award by nominating
individuals who have contributed to snow
safety through on slope activities, presentations, articles, etc. Details may be found on the
www.fwsa.org website. L

Remember:
