The organization was founded in 1963 as the United States Ski Writers Association (USSWA). The name was changed to North Amercian Snowsports Journalist Association NASJA in 1990 to better reflect the geographic diversity of the membership and range of members work. Carson White (SF Examiner) was USSWA’s first president. He was also the first president of the Northern California and Nevada Sports Writers Association formed in 1956. In 1994, the Golden Quill Award was renamed in his honor.
