2022 - 2023 Far West Skier's Guide - 44
What do you call a gathering of snowcrazy,
winter-hyped, fun-loving but serious, adventurous
and generous party people? A Far
West Ski Association Convention!
And what a convention we had in Portland
this past June. A few showers didn't
keep our intrepid skiers from discovering new
adventures on Mount Hood. And, while a torrential
downpour was only a slight hiccup
during our 25th Annual Pub Crawl. Sadly, our
golf tournament was cancelled, but the golfers
enjoyed an excellent tour of the golf venue,
followed by a lovely barbecue that managed
to (mostly) escape the gentle patter of rainfall.
And, the attendees had the opportunity to
visit several of Southwest Washington's finest
wineries.
We were able to delve into the intricacies
of snowsports clubs and social media, and
learned helpful hints for running a successful
ski trip.
But the icing on the cake? We were beyond
delighted to have not one, but BOTH
Mahre brothers - Phil and Steve -- icons of
American skiing-in attendance.
Our adventures began on Thursday, with
a Mt. Hood Adventure bus tour, that included
stops at Timberline Lodge, the Mt. Hood Cultural
Center and Museum, with lunch at
Cooper Spur, and then following Highway 35
around to Hood River, including a visit to
beautiful Multnomah Falls.
Thursday evening saw everyone on a
bus to downtown Vancouver, Washington,
where we started celebrating the 25th Anniversary
of the famous FWSA Pub Crawl!
Attendees at the 36th Annual Silent Auction and Snowsports Trade Show had the opportunity
to learn about resorts and make future travel plans. In addition, they could bid on fantastic
opportunities in the Silent Auction, where prices were exceptionally reasonable! photos / Adam Bacher
The 2022 FWSA Convention Was
Held in the Majestic Northwest
June 9 - 12, 2022
by Sheri Parshall
Host Council Convention Coordinator, FWSA
Sponsored by Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation,
we visited Heathen Brewing, where
our California contingent was entertained by
the mysterious drops of water that began falling
from the sky. We then headed to a local
restaurant Who Song & Larry's, for some
yummy Mexican food.
Friday morning was time for fun!
Brian Head Ski Resort sponsored our
Wine Tour, which included visits to several
wineries and lunch.
The golf contingent found themselves
without a tournament, as those aforementioned
mysterious drops of water made the
golf course a little too wet. But thanks to
sponsor Grouse Mountain Lodge, there was a
really fun tour of the unique McMenamin's
Edgefield (where a little pub crawling happened
- what else to do when the golf course is closed?)
The tour was followed by a barbecue at the
Parshall home, where, yep - the mysterious
drops of water started falling again. We're so
Friday's Optional Events included a Western Washington
Wine Tour, led by Steve Coxen. Attendees assembled for a
group photo at Maryhill Winery. left photo by Steve Coxen;

The Convention kicked off on Thursday, with a Mt. Hood Adventure trip led by Steve
Coxen. The adventure included a stop at the historic Timberline Lodge, Mt. Hood
Cultural Center and Museum, Cooper Spur Mountain Resort, and Multinomah Falls in
Columbia River Gorge. " Heidi " greeted our group at the first stop at Timberline Lodge.
