tivities directly. Rather, we support our clubs in their endeavors
to provide exciting trips for their
members. We also encourage all
our member clubs to support one
another, offering all our snow
sports enthusiasts more options
and opportunities for fun. Many
of our members seek out a club
going to the destination of their
choice, contact that club, and
enjoy traveling with them and
making new friends.
As an active member of the
Far West Ski Association and the
National Ski Council Federation,
Central Council distributes information to all member clubs regarding member benefits, travel
options, and current trends in
snow sports. These travel options
include: FWSA North American
Ski Week, FWSA Mini Ski Week,
FWSA International Ski Week
and Adventure Trips, plus FWSA
Dive trips. Club leadership, in
turn, offers this information to
members, furthering all members'
options for outdoor fun. If you
are a club member, and you are
not getting this information, inquire at your next meeting, con-

tact your club president, or contact your council president. The
Council president, as well as club
presidents' contact information is
available in this publication.
For an avalanche of yearround fun, check out Avalanche
Ski and Sports Club in Bakersfield. Avalanche is a small club
that is 100% dedicated to outdoor
FUN! Other than their main focus,
skiing on snowy slopes, they also
enjoy camping, golfing, hiking, kayaking, diving and monthly dinners.
Members promote cooperation
with other sports-oriented clubs
that also participate in various recreational activities. Whenever you
might be in Bakersfield, contact
Avalanche. You just never know
what they can recommend for FUN!
The SLO Skiers, Inc. is a ski,
sports and social club located halfway between Los Angeles and
San Francisco in the town of San
Luis Obispo aka the " Happiest Place
In America " . San Luis Obispo is
more commonly known as SLO hence the name SLO Skiers, and
they have many happy members!
So, what is it about the SLO
Skiers Club that entices people to

join? First, and foremost, it's all
about the insanely awesome ski
trips and making new friends.
Each year, the ski trip organizers
diligently plan two, week-long ski
trips to fabulous ski resorts. They
also have shorter ski trips for
those looking for a quick snowgetaway. The off-season brings
camping trips, wine downs, barbeques, and much more. SLO
Skiers is a great place to have fun
and meet new people all while
having the convenience of group
travel at great prices.
Philanthropy is an important part of the SLO Skiers. They
make it a point to reach out to
local organizations by either making financial donations, gathering
products needed for homeless
programs, or volunteering time to
help. Club members feel it is extremely important to give back to
our community.
Check out Central Council
of California, Inc. If you live in
the Central California area,
chances are we have a club near
you. Look around, join as a
stranger, and plan to leave with
many life-long friends.
