Pacific Rim Snow Sports Alliance

The FWSA Safety Award has been graciously sponsored by Aspen Skiing Company since its inception in 1998. The first year, the award was presented to the person who coined the phrase that would best sum up the FWSA safety position. Jim Ortiz contributed the appropriate tag line — a clever safety acronym for FWSA.

Ski With Pride - Watch All Sides - Let It Ride
First With Safety Awareness

In subsequent years, the Safety Award has been bestowed on the person within FWSA who does the most to promote safe skiing and safety programs. The winner is awarded a week of skiing in Aspen with air, lodging, lift tickets, and rentals.
