2019 - 2020 Far West Skier's Guide - 27

Summer on the Slopes!
Valle Nevado, Chile is South
America's Premier Ski Resort.

2022 International Ski Week - Madonna di Campiglio, Italy
with an Extension - TBD

Plan to Join us in 2021!

Madonna di Campiglio is the main point of access to the Dolomites mountain range.
This vibrant Italian ski area links four small sectors known both for excellent grooming
and steep runs. The slopes spread out widely. A spectacular 16-minute gondola ride connects to neighboring resort Pinzolo. The ski area has 57 lifts and 93 miles of ski runs and
a capacity of more than 31,000 people per hour.
Madonna di Campiglio is one of the world's classic ski centers; and one of Italy's
most famous - ranking with Cortina, Courmayeur and San Martino. Considering its long
history in winter sports, it has the benefit of an extensive and hugely enjoyable ski area
with access lifts coming right down into the town - both unusual assets compared to
many of the other famous ski resorts of long standing. The resort's altitude gives it better
dependable conditions than many traditional winter sports centers.
Thus, traveling with the FWSA International team provides you the opportunity to
experience, achieve personal fulfillment and self-discovery in ways you may never had
imagined. We think the purpose of time off is to take a break from your daily routine, to
allow yourself to recharge and think about other things. And, travel does this better than
anything else. We discover things about others - and ourselves - as well as, seeing the
world through a different lens, which then enriches our lives. We hope your experiences
will be memories for a lifetime as we refresh, engage and build intimacy with our dreams,
goals and culture.
Our International Travel Team and Travel Committee continues to reach out to our
members; garnering their feedback regarding desires and how to meet their international
travel desires for the future. Our commitment to capturing the imagination of our members, create adventuresome travel experiences with lasting friendships and memories continues to evolve. We strive to provide you the trip that you deserve - one that is hassle
free and lets you leave your worries at home. ss
To you, it's peace of mind. To us, it's integrity!

FWSA will be offering a summer ski
trip to Valle Nevado, Chile with additional
skiing available at La Parva and El Colorado. We are excited to learn that the
Ikon Pass will be good at Valle Nevado for
the 2019-20 season. Hopefully, this will also
be available for the 2020-21 season, too!
Valle Nevado is South America's premier ski resort, offering access to over 7,000
acres of terrain and has the most modern
lift operation on the continent. They are
proud of the fact that there are no lift lines,
a laid-back environment with entertaining
ambience and delicious gourmet food. The
awe-inspiring peak of El Pomo towers
above the twin valleys, in which the three
best ski areas of South America will be
found. You'll be flying into Santiago, then
travel 90 minutes to the ski areas of the
world-famous Andes Mountains. This area
will provide you amazing views, varied terrain and an incredible experience during
our summer...their winter. This trip will be
limited, so don't hesitate to register and save
your spot!
After Valle Nevado, we'll be traveling
to the Atacama Desert, which in some
parts is compared to the surface of Mars.
The Atacama Desert is a desert plateau
covering a total area of 40,541 square miles,
stretching 600 miles from Southern Peru
Mountain Range. The Atacama Desert is
the driest place in the world, as well as, the
only true desert to receive less precipitation
than the polar deserts. Most of the desert is
composed of stony terrain, salt lakes, sand,
and felsic lava that flows towards the
Andes.
According to the New York Times, it is
the #2 place to visit. It is a 2-hour plane
ride from Santiago to Calama. Calama is
known for the largest open pit copper mine
in the world and the Atacama Desert
receives worldwide recognition for it focus
on astronomy. Astronomy prevails there
because this desert sits at 6,000 feet, which
offers exceptional skies and 330 clear nights
each year. We'll have the opportunity for
hiking, biking and adventuring out to see
unique environmental landscapes. Their
sand dune terrain makes you think of Mars.
There are salt flats, lagoons inhabited with
flamingos, areas with geysers, unique flora
and fauna, various animals to see and so
much more!

We want to invite you to experience the world with FWSA, an organization
you know and trust, to provide unique tours and quality travel at a Great Value!
