The Far West Ski Association and member councils benefit greatly from belonging to the National Ski Council Federation. The Federation was formed in 1997 to provide councils an opportunity to exchange information and to discuss important issues that impact clubs and councils throughout the United States. The Federation provides Far West councils an opportunity to interact with ski councils in the central and eastern United States. Information from the NSCF is disseminated to our member clubs. The 2012 annual meeting was held August 23-26 and hosted by Telluride Ski Resort. Dialog with ski industry representatives is an integral component of the annual national meeting. The Federation provides a wide variety of benefits to members. Members of ski clubs that belong to the Far West Ski Association are also members of the Federation. The Members Only section of the Federation website contains a resource center with 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 user name and password for the Members Only section are available from council presidents. The NSCF website also offers members a variety of attractive discounts on items such as ski rentals, lodging, car rentals, and a variety of ski gear. The discount listing is in the Members Only section of the website. The Federation is launching a completely renovated website along with an updated logo seen in the photo above. The site has expanded information and improved navigation. Check it out! The current officers are: President, Joe Harvis (New Jersey Ski Council); Vice President, Dennis Heffley (Bay Area Snow Sports Council); Treasurer, Dawn Peterman-Harris (Metropolitan Milwaukee Ski Council); Secretary, Lisa Beregi (Crescent Ski Council – Eastern U.S.). Like FWSA, the Federation is completely operated by volunteers. For detailed information regarding the NSCF, including participating councils and member benefits, please visit our newly-designed website at www.skifederation.org. L L
