The Federation provides Far West councils an opportunity to interact with ski councils in the central and eastern United States to exchange ideas and receive valuable information for our member clubs. Membership in the Federation provides a variety of benefits. The Federation annual meetings are structured to provide a forum for council and ski industry representatives to discuss subjects of mutual interest. The 2017 annual meeting in September was hosted by the Sun Peaks Grand and Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia. The Federation offers members a variety of attractive discounts on items such as ski rentals, lodging, car rentals, travel insurance and a variety of ski gear. To access the benefits and other Federation information, ski club members can go to the Federation website www.skifederation.org and request a password. Ski clubs can post their trips on the website to attract new members through their trip offerings. They can access the Members Only section to get templates for by-laws, requests for proposal for trip bids, club officer job descriptions and other documents that clubs can adapt to meet their unique needs. The Federation was formed in 1999 to provide ski councils an opportunity to exchange information and to discuss among themselves, and with the ski industry, important issues that impact clubs and councils throughout the United States. The Federation represents 29 councils across the United States. The councils have 640 clubs with more than 300,000 club members. The Federation elects officers every two years. The officers elected in 2017 are: President, Lisa Beregi (Crescent Ski Council - Eastern US); Vice President, Cheryl Mann (Texas Ski Council); Treasurer, Greg Schmid (Cleveland Metropolitan Ski Council); and Secretary, Sheri Parshall (Northwest Ski Club Council). Like FWSA, the Federation is completely operated by volunteers.
