NIMSEF now accepting applications for upcoming winter season

SANDPOINT — The North Idaho Mountain Sports Education Fund, also known as NIMSEF, recently announced that it is now accepting applications for the upcoming ski season.

NIMSEF, in its 15th season, is hoping to sponsor a record of more than a combined 75 snowboarders and skiers this season. The program, which started in 2010, is dedicated to helping local youths in Bonner and Boundary counties experience Schweitzer, especially those that would otherwise never have the opportunity.

NIMSEF understands that the costs of skiing and snowboarding are too expensive for most of the local families living in North Idaho, which is why the program exists in the first place.
