Far West Ski Association's 91st Annual
Convention is set for June 6-9, 2024, in Reno,
Nevada. It will be, once again, co-hosted by
Bay Area Snow Sports Council and Sierra
League & Council. The fabulous Atlantis Casino
Resort Spa, will be the host hotel for our
glorious stay while in Reno. Located just 10
minutes from the airport, the AAA Four Diamond
Resort boasts free hotel shuttles, both
indoor and outdoor pools, a Forbes Travel
Guide Four-Star Spa, loads of entertainment,
restaurants and bars.
The City of Reno itself, known as the
" Biggest Little City " will roll out the red carpet
for us upon our arrival. We'll begin the
weekend early, with a relaxing Happy Hour
at one of the local spots on Wednesday evening.
This will give the " early birds " a chance
to meet and greet their friends, enjoy some
food and have a nice adult beverage or two
while we play catch-up with what's been happening
since we were all together in Boise in
June, 2023.
We are looking at possibly doing a repeat
of our 2007 Pub Crawl, at the National Auto
Museum, in downtown Reno. This would be
a catered affair, with food and beverages, as
well as a tour of the museum. There may be
a Raft Trip on the Truckee River during the
day on Thursday, to get everyone wound up
for even more excitement that evening.
On Friday, we will hold the 17th Annual
Michael German Memorial Golf Tournament.
This will take place at one of the lovely local
golf courses, where we've played before. We
will have an opportunity to team up, and have
some fun competition for prizes, as well as
network with our industry partners, and finish
off with a great lunch and awards. You
will also have the option of going on a bike

will be done with all this in plenty of time to
get to the Pool Party later on Friday afternoon,
followed by the Club Happy Hour, prior to the
38th Annual Silent Auction and Snowsports
Trade Show on Friday evening.
Network with your favorite ski resorts,
meet with tour operators to plan future trips
for your club and council, get trip details and
pricing, and participate in a fantastic Silent
Auction that can bring you a variety of hardware
or adventures for the coming season. A
drawing will take place during the auction for
two Trip Gift Certificates, valid for $250 towards
one of Far West's many skiing or adventure
trips the following season.
On Saturday, you will have the opportunity
to sit in on some fascinating Snowsports
Leadership Academy sessions. We plan to
