The foundation that supports ski racing in the Pacific Northwest
2025 ANNUAL APPEAL
-
The PNWSEF Annual Appeal will focus on one of the most important investments we can make in our sport: supporting coaches’ education. Beyond coaches’ education, the Annual Appeal will also support athlete grants and scholarships.

Beginning this season, U.S. Ski & Snowboard (USSS) now requires every coach who enters a USSS-sanctioned race arena to hold a Level 100 Coach Certification or higher. While this new mandate strengthens the quality, consistency, and safety of coaching nationwide, it also presents a significant financial burden for coaches and the clubs they serve. PNWSEF is here to encourage athletes and coaches to excel and thrive in our division and beyond, and this additional funding will assist significantly with this goal.
PNWSEF is the fundraising arm of the PNW Ski Division
