More About Us
In 1955 a group of women skiers belong to A.W.S. (Associated Women Skiers) wanted to start their own club. They named it Skiyente, loosely translated to "Snow Maiden". Therefore our newsletter became the Maidenforum. Sorority like in nature, our original by-laws mandated sponsors, rigid attendance, and restrictions. Today, Skiyente is a very open active club and part of the Northwest Ski Club Council. In 2006, Skiyente was awarded the Tollakson award for Outstanding Ski Club (A Division) at the Far West Ski Club Council. In 2007, Skiyente was awarded first place for charitable contributions and volunterism overall at FWSA! As Skiyente embarks on our 53rd year, join us and discover ski history in the making
