Far West Conventions...
Far West Ski Association hosts an annual convention, typically held the second weekend of June. The convention changes location from year to year and is hosted by the local council and ski clubs
The weekend features special guests, celebrities and our very supportive ski industry partners.
In addition to the business aspects of the convention, there’s a fun side, too.
The host council & ski clubs often offer fun activities on Wednesday and Thursday.
Thursday
night is the Pub Crawl. It’s a great way for the ski industry and delegates to meet and greet on an informal basis.
On
Friday
morning there are a myriad of opportunities for play. Typically, we offer golf, hiking, rafting, spa treatment, wine touring or unique activities that are available in the area.
Following the Friday optional activities there is typically a Pool Party followed by an all club's Happy Hour topped by a Silent Auction and Snowsports Show. The auction and show are open to the public.
On
Saturday
we get down to business with panels and program meetings, Snowsports Leadership Academy, Awards Luncheon, a Keynote Presentation, Cocktail Party and Awards Dinner and Dance.
Business continues on
Sunday
with elections, club & council awards, reports and a brunch.
Lodging and transportation is purchased separately. We obtain the best group rates possible.

Riding the bull at the pool party is the Mt. Bachelor crew (Jim, Ann, Bob) that sponsored the event. Too much fun.
