of the Sierra League and
Council took special interest in
this year's FWSA Convention
because they - along with the
Bay Area Council - will be
co-hosting the 2018 FWSA
Convention to be held in Reno.
Mark it on your calendars
now, so you will not miss it.

BOTTOM LEFT: What a season
we had! On August 3, 2017,
there was still activity near
the Cornice at Mammoth
Mountain. A little patchy
in places, but that did not
hamper the enthusiasts that
grabbed their boards and skis,
headed up the mountain and
made their way down.

ployees in northern Nevada and
the Lake Tahoe area who enjoy
racing. The Sugar Bowl Ski
Club's members live in the San
Francisco Bay area and call Sugar
Bowl their home resort.
Each club offers a different
experience. They all enthusiastically welcome active adults who
enjoy skiing, boarding and other
outdoor activities, who want to
socialize with others with similar
interests.
Our club members enthusiastically participate in Far West
Ski Association trips. The larger
clubs offer group ski days at
nearby resorts and week long
and weekend trips.
Our annual council holiday
party in early December provides
a festive start to the ski season.
Recreational ski racing is a
key activity of the council. Clubs
and individuals compete for
8O

medals and end of season awards.
The race league typically schedules eight regular season races.
We share the race course
with the Bay Area Snow Sports
Council's Singles and Open
Leagues. This collaboration keeps
participation costs affordable and
enhances the racing experience.
Sierra racers span all ability
levels. Any skier who can make
linked turns can have a fun time
on the race course competing
with skiers of similar ability. It's
fun to meet and engage in
friendly competition with members of other clubs.
Try racing. It's a fun way to
expand your skiing experience
and improve your ability while
making new friends. Junior racers are welcome if accompanied
by a racing parent or guardian.
And, they race for free! Our racers are generous with their time
to introduce new racers to the

world of friendly competition.
Check out our clubs. Sign
up for a trip or activity. Ski clubs
are a great way to meet active
adults who enjoy outdoor recreation and a wide range of social
activities.
