> The Far West Masters Scholarship Program
> The Far West Masters Scholarship Program is now in our 21th year of raising funds to benefit Far West Junior ski racers. Over that time period we have awarded almost $750,000 in scholarship funds.  We are an incorporated 501(c)(3) public charity tax exempt organization. 
> Our goal is to promote academic scholarship, citizenship and leadership within the ski racing community. It is also our goal to keep athletes involved in ski racing that might not otherwise have a chance without our financial support. We believe keeping athletes involved in ski racing keeps them focused, teaches discipline and helps them to be successful in the rest of their life endeavors.

> Silent Auction 
> 	The Far West Masters annual banquet and silent auction is April 6th at Squaw Valley O Bar (old Salsa Bar next to Bar One) at 5:00pm. We have a wide assortment of auction items available for bid to help raise money for our scholarship program. If you are interested in bidding on any of the items but will not be at the auction, you may place bids by contacting Eddie Mozen with your minimum and maximum bids as well as any other instructions and Eddie will place bids for you. Most of these items you will be purchasing anyway, so why not buy them at auction and help support the Far West Masters scholarship program. We will have many more items for bid at the actual auction.
