Far West Ski
Association
is on the
Move!
by Linda Scott
President, FWSA
Greetings, and welcome to the 26th Edition of the Far West Skier's Guide! This magazine will provide you with the information
you need to find like-minded friends who ski
and board, while exploring new places and
fun adventures with members of the Far West
Ski Association.
The Far West Ski Association (FWSA) is
a non-profit, volunteer organization that is one
of the country's largest ski associations. Our
11 member councils represent skiers and
boarders in the 13 western states of Alaska,
Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming. In California, there are six councils: Bay Area, Central,
Inland, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego.
Arizona council is based in Phoenix, Intermountain is based in Boise, New Mexico is
based in Albuquerque, Northwest is in Portland and Sierra is located in Reno. If your ski
club is affiliated with one of these councils,
you are a member of FWSA!
If you like snowsports, you have come to
the right place! Our member clubs have active, year-round social and recreational events,
including ski trips, recreational ski racing,
water skiing, hiking, river rafting, dinners, theater, cruises, diving, biking, softball, wine tasting, camping, parties and just about any other
fun activity you can think of. FWSA and its
member clubs and councils are the place to
join with other, active social people, and get
discounted rates for your favorite event. You
can visit our website at www.fwsa.org, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter to learn more
about our growing and vibrant organization.
Far West Ski Association is offering several fabulous trips during the 2014 calendar
year. We kick off the year with our FWSA Ski
Week during the week of January 25 - February 1 where we ski and have fun in Beaver
Creek, Colorado. If you are looking for a
shorter ski trip, we will be traveling to the
Davis Area, Utah, from February 22 - 27 for
our FWSA Mini Ski Week to ski Snowbasin.
If you are interested in international
travel, from March 6 - 23, we are off to Zermatt, Switzerland, followed by an optional extension to Spain. But, that's not all! We
recently returned from a fun and successful
dive trip to Belize, and we will set sail from
November 9-16, 2013 to explore the Caribbean
on the cruise ship The Norwegian Epic. In the
fall of 2014, we will be venturing to the continent of Africa to go on safari and visit Victoria
Falls. You can be a part of all of this, and
more, by joining a FWSA member club and
council. Or, you can become a direct memeber
of the Association. See page 10. In addition,
our member clubs and councils offer their
own trips and activities, so you can find
friends and visit new places whenever you are
ready to go. So join us!
From June 12-15, 2014, we will host our
82nd Annual Far West Ski Association Convention in Bend, Oregon. Our Convention will
have special guests, a silent auction and travel
expo, and lots of optional activities. These will
include hiking, biking, golfing and our not to
be missed Pub Crawl. On Saturday night, we
will have music and dancing; and an Awards
Banquet to recognize outstanding achievements in snowsports. In addition to all the fun,
we host a Snowsports Leadership Academy
where we offer seminars in ski club leadership
and management, safety, and snowsports
trends. We also host a Public Affairs Panel
with special guest speakers that are not to be
missed! This fantastic weekend of events will
be hosted by Northwest Ski Club Council. Put
it on your calendar now!
