2 President’s Note

August 30, 2018

Dear NASJA Member,

We’re off to a new season with a new board and I couldn’t be more excited! Jeff Blumenfeld and Tamsin Venn are on board as NASJA VPs for the coming year. In addition, Mary Jo Tarallo will join the board as corporate liaison. All three are eager to serve the organization bringing fresh ideas and enthusiasm to NASJA.

Immediate past president Martin Griff will serve another year on the board as well. From , former NASJA VP Dan Giesen will continue to join the board meetings bringing his NASJA board experience to the group. Roger Lohr is also part of the board meetings on certain occasions and we are grateful to have his experience and wisdom. Moreover, execu- tive secretary Sue Yarworth has been upping NASJA’s presence with an amazing website and other promotional materials. Peter Hines continues to help with IT for NASJA. With all this industry experience coming on board, only good things are ahead! Thank you all!

There are a lot of positive projects in the works for NASJA. We have formed a NASJA Membership Recruitment Committee. The group will develop materials and benefits related to NASJA memberships plus con- duct campaigns to reach out to prospective members. Mary Jo Tarallo will head up the group and Kevin Gasior, Cindy Hirschfeld, Kristen Lummis, Peggy Shinn, and Rosemarie Cleese have all agreed to be part of the committee.

We have some great events coming up, too. On December 2-4, Stratton and NASJA will co-host the 2018 Northeast Winter Weather Summit, an event designed to create a dialogue between meteorologists and the winter sports com- munity. The resorts associations and other industry players are on board including SnoCountry and XCSkiResorts. com.

This Stratton gathering will also serve as a NASJA meeting with prices ranging from $95-$259 depending on if you participate as a one-day commuter or take advantage of overnight accommodations, 2 days skiing, the sessions, reception, breakfast and lunch. A second night will be available for $115. Double occupancy will also save on costs. Wouldn’t you like to be part of this important effort to strengthen ties between the ski industry and meteorologists? Registration will be available online soon at newinterweathersummit.org.

Other meetings for the year include a meeting during the Boston.com Ski & Snowboard Expo, a January meeting in the Eastern U.S., Winter Western Summit in Utah (details to come); a March meeting at North Conway in conjunction with New England Ski Museum. The annual meeting at Park City April 4-7 will be in conjunction with Ski and Snow- board Hall of Fame and a day of skiing and get-together hosted by Deer Valley on April 3. There is also a possible Snow Basin trip prior to that.

I’m looking forward to working with our new board as we grow NASJA and see many of you at upcoming NASJA events. Enjoy the end of summer and I wish you all a productive and enjoyable ski season.

18 A Note From Our Corporate Liaison:

Hello There:

I am so pleased and honored to be returning as corporate liaison for NASJA. Thanks for the opportunity to serve the organization once again.

NASJA serves an important role in the snow sports industry. We all are in the business of communicating to the public the joys, thrills and even the health benefits of skiing and snowboarding. All of us probably can remember every detail of our first day on the slopes or on the cross country trails or maybe even in a snow-covered field snowshoeing. We all have a story to tell.

I have met many wonderful and interesting people during my career with the snow sports industry. I have been a member of NASJA for many years both as a press member and, more recently, as a corporate member.

YOUR thoughts are most important on our industry, our association and how we move forward with our mutual desire to communicate thought-provoking information and ac- curate messages.

Feel free to drop me a line or give me a call.

Thanks again - #thinksnow, #winter, #snowmuchfun, #NASJA!

Sincerely,

Mary Jo Tarallo

I started skiing in the mid-70s in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania; from then on, I found myself entrenched in the industry. I have worked in various ski shops from suburban to ski town to resort, giving me a well-rounded perspective on what skiers want from their gear. That experience was parlayed into my time on Epicski as the Review Editor and also consulting with manufacturers as a product tester. Along with being a Masterfit-trained bootfitter I am a fully certified self proclaimed Gear Guru. Not only do I keep up with the cutting edge of ski gear technology, but I am an avid gear collector and have an extensive array of bindings as well as many vintage skis.

Tricia Pugliese 6495 Yellow Bird Drive, Reno, NV 89523 231-920-1798 [email protected] Twitter: TriciaPug Affiliation: pugski.com

Skiing became my passion from the moment I turned 18; it was because of that passion that I volunteered at a small school in Northern Michigan to start up a learn-to-ski program for kids. A little over 25 years later, I moved to the Lake Tahoe Basin to make skiing my life and my career. I am still passionate about helping people enjoy their skiing experience, whether face to face or online. Besides being an owner, I am the site manager here on Pugski. com, and I review both hardgoods and softgoods for manufacturers. I am also a Masterfit bootfitter and a consul- tant to industry insiders about the importance of women’s ski gear.
