ARIZONA SKI COUNCIL
The Arizona Ski Council &
Clubs are very Active!!!
The Arizona Ski Council participated in the 81st Annual Far
West Ski Association Convention
held at the Grand Sierra Resort
and Casino in Reno, Nevada.
Wanda Himler represented the
Arizona Ski Council as their
Woman of The Year. Jim Nachbar
from the Scottsdale Ski Club was
elected to the FWSA Board of Directors as Vice-President of Communications. ASC is very proud
of both these outstanding volunteers. (See picture on page 12.)
The Arizona Ski Council will
kick off their annual ski season
with a picnic at Vista Del Camino
Park in Scottsdale, Arizona. There
will be 85 to 100 people attending
this event representing all the
member clubs.
It was a very hot summer
here in Arizona this year, but that
does not slow down the activities
of the Arizona Ski Council. We
just sort of move out of the desert!
In addition to the happy hours,
parties and dinners, the seven different clubs had a lot of activities
planned to beat the heat throughout the southwest!
