Welcome to the North American Airlines Ski Federation (NAASF)

As you all know, our NAASF President, Rocky Borgh, suffered a sudden cerebral aneurysm and stroke mid-flight while on route from Zurich to Dulles this past February.

Rocky fought hard and recovered enough to return home to Virginia for rehabilitation. But only weeks later, tragedy struck again—he suffered a second, devastating stroke. Since then, he has been in hospitals and care facilities, and he is currently receiving treatment at Heritage Hall in Leesburg, VA.

Today, Rocky is making slow but meaningful progress. Yet he cannot walk, speak, or perform most daily tasks on his own. His best chance for recovery is to remain at Heritage Hall, where his skilled nursing and therapy team provide the care he desperately needs.

Unfortunately, insurance only covers 120 days of inpatient treatment. That coverage has run out. The cost of continuing his care is $14,000 per month—an impossible burden for Rocky and his wife, Anna, to bear alone.

Paul Ayers, a retired United pilot, has worked with Rocky's wife Anna, his son Andreas, and a few pilot buds to set up a GoFundMe to help Rocky offset his out of pocket expenses at Heritage Hall.

We have all always considered NAASF as a family. In time of need, families show up. Let’s show Rocky how much we love him and help get him back on the slopes.

A Request for Volunteers

                                                NAASF Committee FormationAt the direction of the NAASF Board, and as explained at the 2025 Annual Summer Meeting, the Board would like to establish the following committees.  Please submit your desire to volunteer to the NAASF President and Secretary via email.                                                          Events CommitteeWe are requesting volunteers to assist the Board in identifying and initiating contact with potential ski resorts for future NAASF events. Under the guidance and direction of the NAASF VP, the events committee will coordinate with the resort and the NAASF VP to secure future venues.  The  NAASF VP will have the sole responsibility to sign and execute the contract for NAASF.  Ideally, for this committee, we would like one (1) volunteer from Delta, United, and American Airlines, as well as two (2)  additional volunteers from eligible airlines.                                                      Fundraising CommitteeWe are requesting volunteers to assist the Board in identifying fundraising ideas outside of ski weeks.  Once identified, the committee will follow through and execute the fundraisers with the coordination of the Board.  All monies raised will be used to help offset costs of the Association and ski weeks.                                                     Website Design CommitteeWe are requesting volunteers to assist the Board in upgrading the “look” of the NAASF.com website.  With the goal of having a website that is both fun and appealing to new members, the committee will work with the NAASF web designer and Board to upgrade the website.  The goal of the committee will be to encourage new membership and provide valuable guidance and information to current members.

Notification Preferences

New to the website is notifications. NAASF staff will be able to keep you up to date with the latest event info. To choose your preferences: - Click on the profile icon - Select "General Profile" - check or uncheck how you would like to your updates. The coordinators and TDs have the ability to select whether they want something sent out as a text or email or both. Some messaging is too long for text messages and some don't require a long email. For instance, if you are listed as an A racer and elect to get SMS texts, the TDs can keep you updated via text about changing start times and course information. My recommendation is to select both so that you can get messaging either way. If it's too much information, you can simply uncheck the box and hit save and you won't receive those messages anymore. John
