The Far West Ski Association has offered
North American and International travel opportunities
throughout the years all over the
world. Many of the Ski Weeks have taken us
to the finest resorts in North America, South
America, Europe, Japan, Australia and New
Zealand. We have also experienced many Post
Extension and Adventure Trips to other exciting
locations such as cruising some of the most
famous rivers and seas, plus visiting the plains
of Africa. However, the COVID closures in the
early 2020's put a damper on many travel
plans - closing resorts, inhibiting air travel and
subsequently, we needed to make adjustments
to our travel schedules and destinations. Most
of those restrictions have been eliminated, but
there have been some changes to the travel
documentation necessary for U.S. citizens to
enter other countries.
In the next couple of years, the FWSA
has several exciting trips to non-U.S. locations.
A United States Passport is required for U.S. citizens to travel abroad. But, that might not
be the only form or identification needed in your travels. photo by Chris Biron on Unsplash
Participants on the FWSA 2024 and 2025
North American Ski and Mini Ski Weeks will
be headed to the Banff/Lake Louise area in Alberta;
and Big White Ski Resort in British Columbia.
There was a time when all one needed
was an identification card with a picture on it
to enter Canada and return to the USA. Not
any more! U.S. citizens currently need an actual
Passport to get on an international flight.
Those who can enter the country through a
land or water border will need a Passport
Card. There is a process to obtain both which
can take numerous weeks to process and receive.
A
valid Passport is also needed for international
travel to all the European countries.
Before you get on the plane to Italy for the
2024 International Ski Week to Madonna di
Campiglio, or the 2025 International Ski Week
to Valle d'Isere, France, make certain your passport
is current. They do expire and you do not
want to miss out on these travel destinations!
Later next year, the FWSA is headed to
Tanzania and Zanzibar. You will need your
passport, as well a special Tanzanian Visa to
partake in this trip.
The long awaited FWSA Ski Week to Vallee
Nevado, Chile has been rescheduled to 2025.
U.S. citizens entering Chile must have a valid
passport. At this time, there is no special visa
required for short term recreation or tourist
visits which describes our visit to this South
American country.
FWSA International Ski Weeks, Adventure
Trips, cruises, safaris, etc. are coordinated
by excellent travel providers who will be able
to help organize all the planning for exciting,
interesting and successful excursions abroad.
Additionally, if you have a desire to see the
world on your own, check the U.S. State Department
website for what travel documents
are required for your dream vacation(s).
What is Global Entry
for International Travel?
Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited
clearance for pre-approved, low-risk
travelers upon arrival in the United States.
Members enter the United States by accessing
the Global Entry processing technology at selected
airports.
Travelers must be pre-approved for the
Global Entry program, and all applicants undergo
a rigorous background check and in-person
interview before enrollment. Complete
information on the program is provided at
https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-travelerprograms/global-entry/how-apply.
Once
you complete the application and
payment of a $100 application fee, and your application
is approved, you need to schedule an
interview at an Enrollment Center. Please be
advised that it can take over a year to schedule
an appointment at busy metropolitan areas. If
a traveler was unable to schedule an interview
at an Enrollment Center prior to their international
travel, they have an option to complete
their interview via Enrollment on
Arrival to the United States at designated airports.
At
airports, program members proceed to
the Global Entry lanes where processing technology
will be used to expedite the members
by capturing a photo to verify their membership.
Once the photo has been captured, the
member will receive on-screen instructions
and proceed to a CBP officer who will confirm
that you have successfully completed the process.
The time required to go through customs
is greatly reduced.
Another upcoming processing technology
option for travelers will be the Global Entry
32 Far West Skier's Guide 2O23 - 2O24
Mobile App. This app will enable members to
validate their arrival to the U.S. on their iOS
or Android device prior to entering the Federal
Inspection Services area.
Another benefit of this program is that
once you receive your Global Entry Card
Number, you can contact the airlines you
frequent, and give them your Global Entry information,
and you are then Pre-Check status
for those airlines.
While Global Entry's goal is to speed
travelers through the process, members may
still be selected for further examination when
entering the United States. Any violation of
the program's terms and conditions will result
in the appropriate enforcement action and termination
of the traveler's membership privileges.
