Sierra Council Scores at FWSA Convention. Sierra Council members pitched in to make the 77th annual Far West Ski Association convention a success. Such events do not happen without great effort, and we can take pride in our work. We had volunteers from our Cabernet, Capital, Las Vegas, Reno, and Sequoia clubs. We appreciate the volunteers from our neighboring councils?Bay Area, Central and Intermountain. It was a wonderful group effort.
We did well in the awards categories. Barbara Bryant received the Elizabeth "Schatzi" Wood Award, which goes to a woman who has through efforts in ski club, council, region, national or international activities, made a decisive contribution to skiing during either the past two years or in a prior year. As one of her many contributions to our sport, Barbara is FWSA Membership Vice President. This award is one of the eight top awards presented yearly by FWSA. The winners are selected by a vote of the FWSA board of directors.Nancy Ellis received a President's Award for her support to the FWSA president, which includes year-round work compiling and maintaining the FWSA data base and other information management services. Nancy was convention registrar.
Sierra also did well in the Club and Council Awards. The Sierra Council newsletter, edited for the past two years by Nancy Ellis, won first place council newsletter. The Reno Ski and Recreation Club newsletter, edited by Lynn Wilbur, won first place Class AAA newsletter competition. The Sacramento Fagowees newsletter, edited by Tracee Carter, won third place Class A club newsletter. The Sierra Council website, managed by Steve Hilliker and Pavel Bosin, won third place council website.

The Sierra League welcomes skiers of all ability levels and ages to join in the fun of recreational ski racing. Racers pay only $20 per race and first time racers can race free on the lower course to try it out. Children race free with a paying parent racer.
In addition to the fun of racing, we give medals to the winners in each racing class at a fun apres ski gathering at the end of the race day.
The Sierra League is part of the Sierra Ski Council, which in turn belongs to the Far West Ski Association. The Sierra Council has 12 member clubs in the Reno, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, South Bay, Las Vegas and Visalia areas.
Through the FWSA, Sierra Council offers summer and winter trips that appeal to skiers and nonskiers.
Check us out and come join the fun.
