His vision for The Ski Channel is to be the CNN of Skiing and seen as a neutral Ski Switzerland. Touch Ski 3D iPhone app by The Ski Channel with virtual ski racing and ski jumping options were discussed. A trailer of “The 2nd Story” about more stories and athletic accomplishments was shown. The Ski Channel offered the FWSA clubs the option of showing of this film in their local areas for a small fee as a club fundraiser and a membership recruitment tool. On Sunday morning, a fascinating viewing of the entire “The Story” was provided. The Leadership Info Panel Sessions included Public Affairs, Outstanding Club/Coun- tal impact of resort development, Arizona Snowbowl snowmaking case (US Forest Service approval of the use of reclaimed wastewater by Arizona Snowbowl to make artificial snow and subsequent challenge by the Navajo Nation which was the first major legal challenge to the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act), Public Affairs section of FWSA Making History video created by John Watson FWSA History Chair, and challenges of nonprofit fundraising (continuity, branding, youth involvement, combining passion in a fun, family event). Emotional stories of 10th Mountain training and its European campaigns including Riva Ridge were shared by the 10th Mountain veterans. Lennia Machen, FWSA Communication Awards Chair, led the Outstanding Club/ Council Recognition Programs session about how to get the most out of these programs and take your club to the next level. ▲ ▲
