    July 11, 2019 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Covering The White Winter World When the Eastern Slope Inn in North Conway, N.H., hosted the first organizational meeting of the Eastern Ski Writers Association in September 1962, the focus was clearly on covering skiing, then best defined as alpine downhill. Today if you write, blog, broadcast, photograph, video, Tweet or Insta to cover a winter sport or leisure pastime that occurs on snow, you’ll find a home at NASJA. Yes, we’re talking about you competitive or non-competitive alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, dog sledding, ski jumping, ski orienteering, snowboarding, snowshoeing, uphilling, fat biking, even snow dancing. Snowmobiling not so much, but we’ve expanded the definition of snowsports in the past, and can do so again as popular leisure activities change with the times. We service the needs of our readers, viewers and online users with news and information they can use to decide how to spend those precious few hours in the white winter world when they’re not sleeping, eating, working, doing housework, in school, or dare we say, zoned out in front of a screen. NASJA members take pride in helping the North American consumer get the most out of their free time, a most treasured commodity. So if you’re a journalist who covers snowsports, help us make NASJA your organization, one that services your needs best. - Jeff Blumenfeld NASJA President WELCOME PETE PA NDOLI, NEW NA SJA TREA SURER The NASJA board is pleased to announce the selection of new treasurer Pete Pandoli, from Moseley, Virginia.
