FWSA Travel History

Since 1970, the FWSA
has produced an annual
ski week for members
and it also led in the
development of USSA
National Ski Weeks.

Compiled by Nancy Ellis and Debbie Stewart

USSA National Ski Week
started as a membership benefit
with reduced room rates at off
season times - but was converted
to a meeting of councils featuring
an Alpine Council Challenge Cup
in 1970 by Packard Anderson,
Bruce Bell and John Watson.
The idea of a meeting of council
travel groups with their racing
teams was the core idea for
national ski weeks through 2002.
USRSA changed the name in 1985
to the Nation's Ski Weeks.
