Member Benefits

Membership Cards

FWSA membership cards identify the cardholder as a member of not only their own local club and council, but a member of Far West Ski Association for 2007 - 2008, and entitles the individual to a variety of benefits. Council clubs enjoy many benefits from their membership, including excellent trips at reduced rates, recreational racing, industry discounts and the opportunity to participate in Far West’s special events. You can get your FWSA card when you join or re-join your local ski club.

FWSA Auction and Raffle:

Support the Far West Scholarship Program! Karbon donated a ski suit which was raffled at the 2007 FWSA Ski Week at Steamboat. Both Big Mountain Resort and Grouse Mountain Lodge have donated ski trips for the 2007-08 ski season which were auctioned off at an oral auction during the 2007 Convention Silent Auction.
