As part of its mission, Ski for Light encourages people to enhance their SFL experience by participating in other outdoor recreational activities. One way to do that is through one of the nine regional affiliates, as well as Ski for Light Canada and Ski for Light Japan.
All of the regional affiliates offer a wide variety of winter activities; a few offer some summer fun as well. These groups were founded by people who were eager to recreate their own Ski for Light experience in a more local and intimate setting.
The following is a list of winter 2009 events hosted by these regional affiliates. They are an important part of the SFL experience, and we encourage you to take advantage of their programs and to support their efforts in whatever way you can. Happy dreaming and trip planning!
