NSAA: National Ski Areas Association
NSAA, the National Ski Areas Association, is the trade association for ski area owners and operators. NSAA analyzes and distributes ski industry statistics, produces annual conferences and tradeshows, produces a bimonthly industry publication, and is active in state and federal government affairs. Headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado because of its central geographic location, the association’s primary objective is to meet the needs of ski area owners and operators nationwide and to foster, stimulate, and promote growth in the industry. Standards from NSAA are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.
