sponsoring a Rendezvous Ski Trip to historic
Sun Valley. This famed resort was the first destination resort in the country, with its humble
beginning in 1936. All FWSA members and
guests are invited to join them. January 2 - 7,
2018. If you are interested in attending, call
Sun Valley Ski Resort directly to make reservations. Mention "Intermountain Ski Council" to get the group rates for this event. You
can come to enjoy some excellent snowsports
terrain all week or just for the weekend. The
council is sponsoring a reception with food and
beverage Saturday night. According to those
that attended last year, it was a blast!

Holidays are special for many of us. Clubs can
organize a trip, or go with a small group or
family. Towns are lit up in a festive way. Most
resorts have very special activities planned for
Christmas with visits from Santa Claus. Children of all ages just love this jolly ol' fella!
Maybe even ski with him? Check your favorite resort's websites for their planned Holiday events. Or, come a week later to bring in
the New Year. There are numerous unique activities sponsored by ski towns or resorts for a
memorable experience.

others affiliated with the resort gather for the
traditional, and impressive, descent down the
slope. Each member - usually a hundred, plus
torch holders - snake down the trail. Impressive! Fireworks, emitting beautiful colors and
shapes, light up the darkened skies. Ski the
slopes during the day. Watch the parade and
fireworks at night! Can you think of a better
way to bring in the New Year? Make your
plans now as lodging facilities fill up. ss
