National Ski Council Federation
(NSCF) Brings Councils & Clubs
Together Nationwide

Public Affairs Chair, NSCF:
President, Sierra League and Council
The Far West Ski Association and member councils and clubs are all members of the National
Ski Council Federation. 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.
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.
The Federation was excited to conduct the 2022 Annual Meeting face to face September
8-10, 2022, in Whitefish, Montana, home to Whitefish Mountain Resort. Our host, Ryan Billiet
of Averill Hospitality, provided, in cooperation with local partners, some pre-meeting activities
that included mountain activities at Whitefish Mountain Resort and a sightseeing tour of
nearby Glacier National Park. We stayed at the beautiful Lodge at Whitefish Lake, an Averill
property. The Lodge graciously offered the conference room rate to delegates who wished to
come early or stay over.
The Friday meeting featured presentations and discussions among the council delegates
and our industry partners. Saturday morning was a business meeting, followed by more joint
sessions with industry partners in the afternoon.
NSCF elects officers every other year for two year terms. The following officers were
elected at the August 2021 virtual meeting: President, Cheryl Mann (Texas Ski Council), Vice
President, Michael Calderone (Metro New York Council), Secretary, Joe Harvis (New Jersey
and Sierra Councils) and Treasurer, Linda Walker (Florida Ski Council). Like FWSA, the Federation
is completely operated by volunteers.
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 US. These councils have 640 clubs with more than 300,000 club members. ss
