TRAVEL PROGRAM

Vice President - North American Travel, FWSA
2022 Ski Week-Aspen
Snowmass, Colorado
Adventure Trip to Denali & Alaskan Cruise
Mini Ski Trip
Sundance, Utah
Each year, the FWSA, its councils and clubs offer a wide variety of travel opportunities around the world. In 2022, the North American Ski Week
was in Aspen Snowmass, and the Mini Ski Week was to the Zermatt Resort & Spa, Utah and surrounding resorts. The Adventure trip was an Alaskan
Cruise with touring in Fairbanks and the Danali National Park. photos provided by Nancy Ellis
We had an exciting 2022 travel year, with our North American Ski Week to Aspen/Snowmass, the Zermatt Utah Mini Trip, and
the Denali Tour and Alaska Cruise. People were happy to be traveling again and experienced the " new normal " for traveling with
COVID.
Some of the things that can be expected with today's travel are getting tested for COVID prior to entering a country, boarding a
cruise ship or air flight to an international destination. There may be cancellations or modifications to excursions, shuttles, and air
services, fewer hotel porters, or restaurant servers, fewer travel guides or shuttle drivers, and all the result of a lack of workers to fill
the various jobs. You might experience longer waits for restaurant seating, restaurant closures, or find that banquet style restaurant
service is common over ordering meals from a menu, all due to a staffing shortage.
Some nice surprises were reduced numbers on cruise ships, excursions, buses, and hotels. There seems to be a focus on customer
service with staff willing to go out of their way to assist travelers and make sure the travel experience is positive. One thing was evident
as we experienced the " new travel norms " for COVID testing, mask wearing, and social distancing was that people were willing to follow
the safety protocols so they could continue to travel, explore, meet new friends, and have a good time.
I invite you to check out the many trips offered by Far West Ski Association with their North American and International Travel
programs. The North American travel program offers trips for ski club and direct members to destinations in North America, Canada,
and U.S. territories. Our Annual Ski Week is extremely popular, offering activities for skiers/boarders and non-skiers. We have a week
of skiing/boarding, parties with dancing, racing, and opportunities for shopping and winter activities in the area. Far West Ski Association
councils sell the trip and plan their own activities, as well. This is a great opportunity to meet people from your council, enjoy one of
the many ski resorts in the country, and have a lot of fun! We will be going to Jackson Hole Resort, January 21-28, 2023. Past Ski
Weeks have been to Aspen Snowmass, Sun Valley, Big Sky, Banff, Breckenridge, Telluride, Whistler, Beaver Creek, and Keystone.
We will be going to Steamboat, January 27 - February 3 in 2024.
We also offer a second ski trip in March which is immensely popular - the Mini Trip. This is a 5-day late spring trip. It doesn't
include as many planned activities to keep the trip more affordable. Participants have flexibility to explore the area on their own or
participate in group activities. This year, we will be going to Taos, New Mexico, and to Big White Ski Resort in 2024. Past trips have
been to Zermatt Utah Resort & Spa, Winter Park, Mt. Bachelor, Snowbasin, Whitefish, Crested Butte, Sun Peaks, and Alyeska.
The North American Travel program plans adventure trips every two years that are non-ski trips. In June 2022, we toured Fairbanks
& Denali National Park and took a cruise down the inland passage on the Majestic Princess. Past adventure trips have been a
Windjammer Cruise aboard the Vela, exploring the fabulous British Virgin Islands, summer trips to Mammoth Lakes with fishing,
kayaking, and bike riding; Panama Canal Cruise; Caribbean Cruise to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Bahamas, and St. Maarten; a Mississippi
Steamboat Cruise and New Orleans trip; and a trip to see the start of the Iditarod in Anchorage, Alaska. We're exploring options
for a 2025 Adventure trip and will post this trip on the Far West Ski Association website, www.fwsa.org, in spring 2023. Check the Far
West Ski Association website for a listing of our trips and how you can sign up. We're looking forward to seeing you on one of our
trips! ss
