NASJA PARTNERS WITH LEARN TO SKI AND SNOWBOARD INITIATIVE

The organizers of the snow sports industry’s Learn to Ski and Snowboard (Month)/Bring a Friend initiative (LSSM/BAF) have announced a new partnership with the North American Snow Sports Journalists Association (NASJA) to promote this year’s January/Bring a Friend programs and especially the new Learn to Ski or Snowboard DAY celebration. It is scheduled for Friday, January 11, 2019.

“It made sense to partner with NASJA since so many media people who cover snow sports are members of the organization and so are many of the resorts who host learning programs during the month,” said Mary Jo Tarallo, executive director for LSSM(M)/BAF and also corporate liaison for NASJA.

NASJA Member Testimonials

  • Cindy Hirschfeld
    NASJA has introduced me to fellow ski writers from around the country, many of whom I may not have met otherwise. It’s inspiring to hear about their deep experience in the snowsports industry. It’s also been a great way to get to know resort PR people from other regions than my own. I’ve called on other NASJA members when I needed information for stories I was writing that included ski areas I wasn’t as familiar with. And it’s been fun to get to know colleagues of all ages.
  • Seth Masia
    Early in my career, deep in the last century, I had the good fortune to win the Harold Hirsch Award a couple of times. It did a lot for my credibility within the industry and helped me score some freelance assignments.
  • Emily Summers
    As a long term member of NASJA, Deer Valley Resort has benefited from the opportunity to create lasting relationships with both press and corporate members. The annual conferences have provided us with an invaluable opportunity to connect with key players in the ski industry. NASJA has provided us with a way to keep informed about trends and personal updates among the snow media.

  • Kristen Lummis
    When I joined NASJA as a snowsports blogger, my contacts in the ski industry were limited. After one meeting, my network exploded, as did my opportunities. Not only that, but now I call many of these contacts my friends.
