Application deadline is March 21, 2021


The FWSA Safety Award is graciously being sponsored by Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. In 1998, the first award was presented to Jo Henry, the person who coined the phrase that would best sum up the FWSA safety position. The tag line was contributed by Jim Ortiz.

About the Safety Person of the Year Award


    The association is a constant proponent of safe skiing. Safety should be given the highest regard by both ski resorts and participants. Safety should be a forethought not an afterthought.

    Safety is no accident, safety is having fun consciously!

    This yearly award honors the person who has done the most to promote safety consciousness within the association. This can be done through a variety of methods including safety articles, on mountain activities, presentations, public speaking, working ski patrol, creating posters or banners, and many other activities.
