  • PRESIDENT's LETTER the New Normal
    May 13, 2020 PRESIDENT’S LETTER The New Normal What will skiing, riding and XC look like in 2020-21? Will gondolas be fully loaded? Six-seat chairlifts loaded with a maximum of only two or three people? Restroom waiting lines instituted to prevent overcrowding? Limited ticket sales and online reservations only? What about the use of parking lot shuttle buses? In a May 7 story in the Denver Post, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, wearing a Broncos face mask, said in November or December, “people will almost certainly be able to ski, although it might not look like prior ski seasons.” Vail, which is facing a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled pass holders, said it would offer credits to 2019/20 pass holders who purchase a 2020/21 Epic Pass. Vail CEO Rob Katz is quoted, "We fully expect that we will all be enjoying a great ski and ride season," but the company will likely have to find ways to run its business in a safe, socially distant manner, while providing peace of mind for next season. It’s anyone’s guess what skiing will look like, but one thing is sure, the role of NASJA members in explaining this New Normal to millions will be as important as ever. Through newspaper and magazine stories, podcasts, blogs, broadcast TV and cable weather reports, skiers, riders and XC enthusiasts will turn to us for accurate and timely information and advice. We hope you’ll keep that in mind when the time comes this summer to renew your membership.

  • Share: PRESIDENT's LETTER
    Like 0 Share Share: Tweet February 10, 2020 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Honoring Legendary Snowsports Journalists To qualify for NASJA Press membership, even the organization’s president needs to be credentialed. My outlet of choice is Skiing History, which readily accepts submissions from freelance writers. Over the years the magazine has allowed me to pursue an oft-time quirky look back at crazy ski products, skiing on TV sit-coms, and the memorable ski area characters I grew up with in the Catskills. Most recently, I penned a story about legendary ski journalists, including the Denver Post’s Charlie Meyers, Serge Lang of Blick, La Suisse, 24 Heures, and L’Équipe, Michael Strauss of the New York Times, and Arnie Wilson of The Financial Times. The story reinforces the role snowsports journalists have played in encouraging millions to engage in winter mountain sports. You can see it here: https://skiinghistory.org/news/when-print-was-king The late John Fry, dean of North American ski journalists, helped me immeasurably with the piece. John provided advice on who to include in the story and provided a colorful description of Serge Lange, calling him “avoirdupois,” which I must admit, I had to look up in the dictionary. It occurs to me that John, who passed away on Jan. 24 at the age of 90, could well have been the highlight of the story. Fry won the Carson White Golden Quill Award (1994), two Harold S. Hirsch Awards (Writing - Columns, 2009, and Book, 2009), and a Lifetime Achievement Award (2005). Christin Cooper, former World Cup alpine ski racer and Olympic medalist, wrote on Facebook, “John lived such a long, rich and meaningful life, and still, the loss is heartbreaking … From my perspective, John's passion in these last years seemed little dimmed for the sport he loved and to which he dedicated so much of his life.” As we continue to communicate the life-enhancing experiences of skiing, riding or XC in winter, it’s inspiring to step back from time to time to honor those who came before.

  • Johnny Ski School
    The original materials in this publication are from Estonian author Kaarle Zilmer and the artist is Ylle Meister. We are very pleased that they allowed us to adapt this so our best U.S. athletes can give you their tips on becoming a great skier. J O H N N YS` S K I S C H O O L H e l l o ! For several years we have not had a real winter. Snow has not fallen or a sudden snow- fall has appeared and quickly melted. Therefore you have not been able to ski properly; some children do not even know how to ski. For this reason, with a little planning and gathering of ideas, JOHNNY`S SKI SCHOOL was established. We hope that you find something here useful and interesting. We hope that our ski lessons are practical for many boys and girls, because JOHNNY´S SKI SCHOOL: • Is for all children, who wish to learn to ski • Relates stories of winter, snow, nature and folk wisdom • Teaches about ski tracks, downhill slopes and jumping performance • Provides advice about ski equipment • Teaches uphill and downhill, falling and recovery, turning and braking and all ski techniques • Describes all skiing as one sporting discipline • Offers reading and ideas to work on Surely from this book you will find what TO LEARN. If someone wants to TEACH, you may also discover something. JOHNNY will be of great assistance and you will meet him on each page; his advice is worthwhile. Also helping will be ALAN ALBORN, TODD LODWICK ,NINA KEMPPEL and PICABO STREET.
