FWSA Ski Councils Offer Regional Ski Days at Local Ski Areas:


FWSA held its first organized family ski weekend at Mammoth Mountain, April 16-17, 2005 in conjunction with Mammoth's Club Appreciation Weekend.  San Diego, Orange, and LA Ski Councils teamed together to offer a family ski day at Bear Mountain Resort in February 2004.    Northwest Ski Club Council held a family fun day at Cooper Spur, on Mt. Hood, also in February 2004.  Arizona Ski Council worked with Sunrise Ski Resort to promote an early season family visit that rewarded children attending with a free season ski pass.  Participation in these first ski season events ranged from disappointing to worthwhile. All councils are enthusiastic about better planning and communication for future family events to attract more interest from current and new members. 

Family/Youth Involvement Committee Established:

Mission:  To sustain and grow the sport of snow skiing by attracting and building the family and youth market.  Short and long-range planning for family and youth involvement, with the objective of developing programs and services to welcome families and youth into our ski organizations.

 

Strategy and Objectives:  Our strategy is to build interest in family ski outings through events hosted at the Council levels.  We will provide the opportunity for the youth/family audience to get familiar with our ski councils, FWSA, and the experience and value that we provide, and then add FWSA level programs to serve this growing member base.  The intent is to build a program that would not disrupt service to our member base that enjoys adult-only activities.

 

Volunteers and Participants Needed:  Future programs and services for family members will depend on interest from our membership and availability of volunteers to plan and lead family activities.  If you are interested in volunteering to help plan a family or youth event at the FWSA level or thru your council, please contact a Family/Youth Involvement Committee Member.
